Quoting: ShmerlInteresting. How did you crunch the numbers for it?

Just doing manual searches on the GOG page.

I tried GOG Database [External Link], but it doesn't really allow any sort of filtering or advanced searches.

I was curious what the numbers was for GOG compared to Steam, and there was actually quite a dip for new native releases during the last year:

60 2022
85 2021
112 2020
98 2019
109 2018

Note: This only counts new game releases for a particular year, not titles newly released on GOG.

I think this reflects more on the state of GOG and their lukewarm appreciation of Linux gamers and developers rather than the state of (native) Linux gaming.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI like the idea of these games, but I really suck at actually playing them. I end up wandering around the few areas I have access to, continuing to miss what the hell stuff I have to find and do to get anywhere interesting.

Walkthroughs are allowed :smile:

Very cool! 4 and 5 are already supported by ScummVM, we'll soon have the complete collection!

Quoting: Shmerl32-bit on 64-bit sounds good! Especially if it will work also for OpenGL / Vulkan parts.

I wish someone would also make the same thing for native Linux games.

Or for running a certain popular game store client that's stuck on 32-bit for some reason.

NetHack is a hodgepodge of popular culture milieu, from discovering Hobbits running around searching for the One Ring, to including an entire Tourist role as some kind of elaborate joke.

The tourist is another fantasy reference. Based on the Twoflower character in the Discworld series.

Neat-o!

Had this on my wishlist since playing the demo.

Quoting: ShabbyXHibernate would be slower than just adding a few seconds though, why not recharge the deck every few days if you don't play it (but somehow left it in the middle of a game you didn't want to quit)?

There's a hybrid option too:

Suspend, then hibernate, but only if battery falls below a certain limit or a set amount of time have passed. Resume would be just as fast if it was still in the suspend phase, and if hibernated you would save the battery.

Quoting: slaapliedjeHere's what I want to know... what are people needing 4080/4090s for? 8k gaming?

Probably those dang Warhammer games. They are 40K!

Quoting: CyborgZetaJust did a fresh install and re-enabled my settings one-by-one, testing Vulkan each time to see if it works. When I checked the box for "Enable API Validation Layers" in the Advanced tab, I got the problem I've been experiencing. That's why Vulkan never worked.

Thanks for sharing the solution!
