Quoting: Luke_NukemBut actually, this must be what mansplaining feels like to women.
What's that when it's at home?

Quoting: razing32I demand an update that lets us slap each other in the face over the internet.

As soon as I saw the comment from razing32 I thought of that video clip, Monty Python wins every day. :D

Liam there are certain members who should be protected from being put on any block lists, can you do that? have you done it already?

The HTC Vive just had a price cut, VR just became a little more accessible

Quoting: GoboThere are two major trade fairs in Germany this week and the next: Gamescom will start on Wednesday and the IFA consumer electronics unlimited will follow suit Friday next week. Both have been used to introduce new hardware in the past, so I call it likely we will see some announcements soon.

I'd be willing to shell out 700€ once the support for Linux leaves its infancy. That said, I also bought a Wii U for example and only played 3 games on it, so I might be easy to win over :)
I bought the original Wii & ended up only playing a single game, the ten pin bowling that came free with the machine.
A little off topic but you guys really missed out on some gems for the Wii and WiiU, you can pick up the games really cheap now, too many for me to list individually but you cant go wrong with Nintendos 1st party games. I've just bought a Switch and absolutely love it.

I've still got a bit of an interest in VR, I think it still needs a "must have" game for it to really take off, as far as I've seen all the games so far are experimental and not really that compelling once the wow factor has worn off.
I sold my Wii a couple of years ago to help fund my other hobby, photography.

Back on topic I tried out the Oculus a couple of years ago when my son bought one (before Facebag got hold of it) & playing Half-Life 2 on VR was a revelation, BUT it's way out of my price range & will stay that way till it's under £100, I just can't justify paying £500+ for what, right now, amounts to a neat gimmicky toy with VERY limited support.

Quoting: ShmerlWhat's not legit in the Wine wrapper? It's not modifying the original. So it's completely legit.
The difference is a Wine wrapper is not a port of the actual code, which is what Icculus is talking about, he wants to get into the code itself & do a proper port, not half-ass it with Wine.

Open-world first-person shooter "The Signal From Tölva" has a Linux version in progress

It's by the people who gave us Sir You Are Being Hunted, I'm in when they port it to Linux.

Looks like GOG Galaxy won't come to Linux any time soon, as it's "not a priority"

Quoting: berillionsI asked to GoG to delete my account. No more € for these fucking liars !!!

FUCK YOU GOG !!!
FUCK YOU GOG !!!
It's not lying, it's a business decision, they obviously feel the outlay to support Linux won't be covered by sales, which is a rational choice, at least they were polite about it, it's the least we can do in return.

F1 2017 could be on the way to Linux, as Feral Interactive want to see demand for it

I don't think there's too many racing games on Linux, if Feral port it I will most likely buy it just to support them, I'm just not a big fan of driving games.

Linux gaming will survive & thrive even without GOG support, I'm sure they'll get by just fine without us too, I will spend my money where my gaming platform of choice is supported.
