Quoting: PatolaThis is the year of Linux on the VR desktop.
Now to sell my house to buy a cheap used Valve Index kit...
When you ascend to your VR glory, may I come visit your VR house in my VR glory and we can have a cup of VR tea and IR coffee?

I mean like a house could cost hundreds of thousands or millions, a VR kit is only like a thousand bucks.

Edit: I hope someone makes TRON world so we can finally have a visualization.

I love this game but man I wish I didn't get my ass kicked so hard when I play, I'm pretty decent at other FPS but that Unreal 2000 style FPS is a beast of its own.

Ion Maiden has become Ion Fury, release date announced for August 15th

Ridiculous. Iron Maiden is not a fucking brand, it's a fucking torture instrument from mid-evil times.

Absolutely ludicrous. Still I think they made the easier choice so they can focus on game development and not pointless legal circles designed to extract as much cash from IP owners and so on. The legal system is a racket. The lawyers always win and the defendants even if they technically win always loose. It's political deadlock.

Maybe they should have renamed it some snarky alternative like Metal Maiden or some other cheesy but effective name.

A look over the ProtonDB reports for June 2019, over 5.5K games reported to work with Steam Play

Quoting: gojulGood that games work perfectly with Proton as native ports get more and more scarce. On the flip side Proton works so well that some games that stopped working on Windows like Act of Treason and it made some ports unnecessary.
This made me stop and think.
Can you use Steam Play on Windows?
No. Wine is not available and DXVK is unsupported for Windows. I suppose one could try to get it running but it won't be worth the effort.
Ironically, from a technical perspective it might boost development if WINE were available on Windows. When X-professional app failed due to Windows changes in the years a company could just try to run it through WINE and it might work (eg: StarCraft 1 used to have terrible graphics glitches for years on Windows running in Legacy mode but on Linux it rendered perfectly.)

In the same way that Xenia is strapped to Windows to assist in developing a Xbox 360 emulator, I think it would actually make a lot of sense and draw in a lot of developers to make a Windows version, not to mention there could be opportunity to Containerize Applications and Sub out native libraries to speed up development and draw interest from Win Devs.
