Stop releasing all these great-looking games. I can't buy them all. This is unfair. :'(

Quoting: wolfyrionDo you guys play with a controller,keyboard or a wheel ? :P

I have tried to play a bit today and I have realized that I am a horrible driver :O
(I guarantee that this is not happening in real life! :D )
Driving with a keyboard is a horrible idea. At least enable all the available assists if you do. Anything analog should do the job, although driving with a joypad might take a bit of getting used to if you're new to these semi-realistic driving games. A wheel is really nice (wish I had one), but not necessary.

Really happy about Indivisible's success. Also, cautiously excited for Psychonauts 2 already.

Stardust Galaxy Warriors, a good looking couch co-op action game now on Linux

Quoting: BeamboomAh of course! Is this a sequel then, one might wonder... Made by the same guys?
That was my guess, but doesn't seem like it. Homage, maybe?

This might be fun, despite the online leaderboards nonsense. I hope you'll cover it again when it's out of EA.

Quoting: BeamboomThere's something very familiar with this name, "Stardust"... Rings a bell...
You mean it reminds you of Stardust and Super Stardust, the relatively popular space shooters from the nineties? Because that's what I thought of, especially when I saw that this one is also made by a Finnish developer.

Haven't enjoyed an F1 sim since I played the crap out of Microprose's F1GP 2 in the late nineties.

Quoting: HamishActually, I recall being headless without wearing a hat.
Weird trip, man. In case it wasn't, I'm glad you've got your fedora (trilby?). Headless people are freaky!

A chat with a Unity developer about Unity's new OpenGL system for Linux games

Quoting: GuestI'm sure they'll be ready shortly after it's released of course, but I wouldn't expect day one support.
Naturally. And even if they had day one support in the engine, I guess it would take some time for games to make use of it. But at least we might not need to worry about seeing a half-assed Vulkan backend in Unity, as they have already invested in the technology by getting involved in the design process.

and that Vulkan seems to not be too far away and that Vulkan seems to not be too far away
Does this imply that Vulkan support on Unity isn't too far away? Which would be awesome since they've never elaborated on their Vulkan support, afaik.
Aras P, the Unity employee whose words you just read, was Unity's representative at Khronos when they designed Vulkan. Might be safe to assume that Unity will be an early adopter, along with UE4 and Source 2. And or course DICE's engine, whatever it was called.
