Quoting: EikeI switched off the emails instead.

I want the emails when they refer to Linux games.

Quoting: subWill I still get informed about that game being on sale even if it only has Windows version?

Yes you will, this is precisely the problem I have with the system.

That seems to contradict what callcifer says.

So what's the case actually?

Don't think so. I sometimes pragmatically buy a game on sale that I want to play even when it has only a Windows version.

So on one hand I'd like to inform the devs and publishers that I'm actually interested in a native Linux version, but not getting informed when it is on sale and (currently) has no Linux version is a no go for me.

"Valve is getting back to focusing on gaming, with Linux support being retired"

The day will come. :sick:

Mark my words. They'll try some more attempts to push Linux that will fail like the attempts before.
Not least because big part of the game-related media is inherently anti Linux.
And you need those guys!

At some point Valve will give up.

Yes, I hope I'm totally wrong.

Shovel Knight and Alwa's Awakening are both fantastic NES-style platformers.
Had lots of fun with them.

Quoting: ShmerlWould be nice for someone to make a campaign to develop open positioning algorithms for Vive and other VR headsets, so OpenHMD could use it.

Btw, I'd support a project that reverse engineers the VFX (and probably others) and implements a wrapper to modern a VR systems in DOSBox.

I finally want to play Magic Carpet 1+2 on a Rift. :)

So much this.

Can't tell how much I liked the Ironhide TD games. :)

I'm sure they're aiming for a 25th anniversary release.

Everyone into old-school FPS should give Quake1 mod Arcane Dimensions a try.

*Really*

Simon's stuff is amazing imho.

Quoting: lelouch

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiT7 nm but only GTX 2080 performance? Why? For the same price?

Nice only because we got a open well performing driver on Linux for AMD. Still I'm not much impressed.

Half of the structure (14nm -> 7nm) cannot bring you double of the performance, because the are negative physical effects working against you (read a physics book for details).

Integration density ideally scales quadratically with the inverse of the structure size.
Hence, half the structure size should roughly result in a 4 times higher integration density.

Yet there are many contribution of losses that do not allow performance to scale linearly with the integration density.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)
