The Indie Legends 4 Bundle features excellent games, almost all with Linux support

Lately I've been collecting local Multiplayer games - Serious Sam 3 is awesome 2-4 local.

Anyways, can anyone share any insight on how PS4 Dual Shock works vs XBONE?

No thumb-sticks on Steam Controller really kills my gaming mojo.

Also does the PS4 Dual Shock Touchpad work as a mouse on SteamOS?

I have 2 X360 Controllers and I'm thinking of getting 4 PS4 Controllers or 2 more X360 or if its good enough 4 XBONE Bluetooth Controllers.

I find that most games don't play nicely with mixing X360 and Steam Controllers suchas Road Redemption.

Thanks in advance, controller support I'm sure is a lot different than it was in 2015.

Does anyone have any experience trying this thing out? How does it stack up against Game Maker by Yoyo and Unity?

There is a lot of cruft on it due to the low barrier of entry, their sorting options generally help you find the good stuff though.
Isn't it ironic that this seems to be both a pro and con to Linux? I spend so much time browsing github, AUR and other package repositories just to figure out what exists that I can use on Arch Linux.

I dunno if I have any more hours in my day to now sift through Itch.io catalog, unless anyone has a pro tip on how to quickly sift through to their good games?

Worms W.M.D should now be a day-1 Linux & SteamOS release

Cool I should watch this on my watch list now.

Heavy Gear Assault now on Linux, some thoughts after testing it

Without steam I'm easily complacent, steam makes installing easy & management easy.

Worms W.M.D will see a slight delay with the Linux version

I've almost bought various Worms games like 5 times now. Maybe I'll just hold out and hope this one is the best.

The graphics look fun and nice, I hope it has full controller support, cross platform multiplayer and local multiplayer and its a win.

Dear Valve and Steam Machines OEMs, you have it all wrong

Create a compact, powerful enough gaming machine, and if it runs the SteamOS variants of these games well I'll get it.

Even the Corsair 380t is huge considering it's Mini ITX.

Lately I have a obsession with compact, portable and simple - hauling around full towers is a chore I'm done with - it makes lanning a chore.

So in essence - Convenience vs Cost. I've built probably 15 rigs so far and getting that sweet compact form is so hard.

Hopefully the next version of AMD APU Zen will rock this world, it would be ideal for a Mini ITX build.

If only the LAIN LI Mini ITX wasn't so ugly and it fit a fullsize gpu, but oh well.

Developer of 'Undertale' will apparently have another go at making a Linux port

Undertale is the only game I have mourned recently not being on my Steam Machine, this is great news :)
