What a pity Bad North never got a Linux release.
It looks awesome.

At least it has Platinum rating at ProtonDB.

Ron Gilbert, developer of Thimbleweed Park is switching to Linux
28 Jul 2020 at 10:08 am UTC

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: subEven more exciting to me than Ron is trying out Linux now (which is great) is this part:

Terrible Toybox, the actual team behind Thimbleweed Park are working on a new game and game engine too.
I couldn't find any information about this.
Liam, did you deduce that from the fact that Ron is working on a new engine
or did he explicitly mentioned working on a new p&c game? :)
They said this in the Dolores Steam forums and they also said while Dolores doesn't support Linux, their engine and their next game will.
Great! \o/

But what is the actual game about?
I play as this monster blob and kill some humans?
I really fail to see the goal of the game from the videos. :D
IIRC from the demo, escape from where you were being held.
Ah right, I should probably just check the demo. ;)

Half-Life: Alyx - Final Hours details lots of cancelled Valve projects

Quoting: subI'm still struggling with VR. :/
Alyx as a game and the immersion IS AMAZING.
Yet, even with getting somehow used to the Index and not facing
heavy motion sickness anymore, I can only use it for about 30 mins at max.
This is always so exhausting (for me) ending in headaches and at least slight sickness. :/
Do you play standing or seated? I've found that a great part of the reason of my VR fatigue comes from prolonged standing, even though in the end it feels like headaches and sickness just like you. Take caution that this is very bad for your health [External Link]. I've partially solved the problem by buying and using a saddle stool [External Link], which allows you to use a somewhat standing position, still be mobile and not get easily tired. It has a few immersion-breaking moments like when you want to duck (you have to briefly leave the stool) but it's tolerable. That is the best affordable solution I've found until VR harnesses and treadmills [External Link] are mass-produced.

If you found my tips useful, please use them with Linux, not Windows.
Thanks.
The the saddle stool might be good idea, indeed.

I'm standing. Always.
Tbh, so far I have not crossed a game that supports seated playing.
Which ones are you using?

Anyone knows if this will be available for the VR version as well?
Couldn't find anything. So I guess - no?

Alwa's Legacy is an incredibly charming retro action-adventure out now

I love it. :)

This has basically everything I want from a retro platformer.
The graphics is awesome. So is the level design and the music.
