HTC Vive Plans Linux/SteamOS Support For Day 1
12 Aug 2015 at 9:20 pm UTC

How much can we expect it to cost? I'm unsure if this kind of device is pure luxary or really complimentary to Linux Gaming.

Also, I wonder if it has negative health effects on the eyes.

BOMB: Who let the dogfight? Exits Early Access & Released For Linux, It’s Terrible
12 Aug 2015 at 9:17 pm UTC

Looks interesting, I would love to also hear about "what it feels like to play" and "what it's like" - my first question is "is it like StarFox 64 Multiplayer?"

I'm on the fence about this - too bad it's unplayable like you said @Liam :\

The Ubuntu Guys Have Already Worked Out A More Official PPA For Nvidia Driver Updates
12 Aug 2015 at 9:16 pm UTC

I dont really see this move as "deserving praise" as I feel that since Ubuntu is one of 2 supported Steam distros. I feel that having proper nVidia drivers is their duty to their users. Still it's good news, but it's like praising an employee for doing the job they were hired to do.

Planetary Annihilation Massive Update Released, Please Welcome Asteroids

I was hoping PA would be more like StarCraft 1 Brood War. Unfortunately it was not and the camera was hanky - you would spin it and it would stick in a unnatural way.

After seeing so many PA updates on GOL I hope they improve because I would like to try again someday.

Fantastic to see Terraria make such swift progress on their Linux version.

To mess around with items try the online Terraria Inventory / Character editor here:

I'm particularly waiting for TEdit to catchup with the 1.3.x update so I can terraform our Linux World as we like to build Giant Metroid Statues, and Dungeons in the Sky and in hell

Great to know that a binary version exists DRM free favoring the user/players.

Of course anyone interested in the fast measure of content in Terraria can checkout the thousands of items and blocks at the wiki and learn how to craft them.

Quoting: vultureflash required? guess i'll wait for recording, there is no way in hell i'm installing that crap
Simply watch on Chrome/Chromium instead as they have a custom flash called Pepper thats part of their browser?

Works for me. Netflix, Flash, etc...

Installing Flash into my package manager - ew.

Terraria For Linux Is Making Great Progress
11 Aug 2015 at 8:11 pm UTC

My friends and me are already playing Terraria on 5 Linux PCs since the launch of the Linux Beta.

Saves have been moved to ~/.local/share/Terraria.

I think I played something like 6 sessions this week and it truely is a fantastic game, Terraria is in a class of its own in terms of building, exploring, and collecting all sorts of items.

Some Thoughts On Terraria Now It Has A Beta For Linux
31 Jul 2015 at 6:31 am UTC

Thanks guys, now I have no idea where Terraria is saving to as ~/My Games is nowhere to be found upon reinstalling Terraria Beta.

I can't edit my characters or worlds in the cloud or out the cloud - I seriously have not the slightest hint as to where my saves are now hidden away to :(

I accidently bought the non-linux version a while ago and every time it goes on sale I'm broke.

I would have loved to have started playing this by now.
