Just purchased it, but it seems Little Racers STREET is not included anymore.

Edit: Shows up as a gift (inbox)

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: subJust in for two hours.

It delivered. It so *beeeeeeping* delivered!

Though it's not on the high-tech side, I waited for a first port report.
So it's all working fine for you?
I'm so excited...! :D

It's working absolutely flawless on my Linux machine. :)

My major complaint about NVidia is not about not opening their existing blob.
This is difficult for various reasons mentioned - also for AMD (and others).

My complaint is that they widely refuse to provide documentation of their ASICs,
which in turn massively slows down development of open drivers.

Apart from that, they seem to be general hostile towards open standards when they
try hard to push their proprietary stuff to create a vendor lock-in.
Take their OpenCL support compared to CUDA.
It's nothing but a real shame.

They definitely not belong among the "good guys".

I take them as those bullying pricks at the schoolyard that you better stay away.

Quoting: AimelaI'll be highly skeptical of this, however. Nvidia just doesn't seem like they're really that open to me. Just look at G-Sync, there's nothing stopping Nvidia from adopting Freesync, rather than trying to sell their overpriced G-Sync tech.

So far NVidia only went (partly) open-source when they were pressured
by boundary conditions, in particular their bigger customers.
See Tegra for example.

They simply don't have a track record that hints they are a (F)OSS-friendly company.

I'd welcome it, if that changes.
Yet I highly doubt it.

We need more in-house Linux releases.
Preferably at day-1.

Yeah, wishful thinking.

However, I'm sure that would boost quality of Linux builds.
Considering a Linux target early, immediately results
in a sane choice of middleware and engine.

As we all know by now, those are often major obstacles for external porters.

Please end this "external porting" stuff asap.

Needless to say this also prevents potential situations of paying
again for the Linux port.

Quoting: arvigeus

Quoting: subThe first two seasons were quite entertaining.

Considering how notoriously buggy their games are on Windows, I'm wondering how this would translate on Linux

What are you talking about?

I had perfectly no issue with the first two seasons.
Additionally, "Wolf Among Us", "Back to the Future" and
"Tales from the Borderlands" ran absolutely flawless on Windows.

Besides in my experience, almost all games available for
Windows and Linux run better on Windows.
Still waiting and hoping for that to change.
We're still not there.

Pragmatic dual booting solves that issue for me,
compared to dogmatically reducing my options.
I'm sick of the later.

Glad I'm still waiting for a sale concerning season 3.
The first two seasons were quite entertaining.

However, I wouldn't actually call this a game.
It's more an interactive movie and, let's be honest here,
only "features" the illusion of being able to affect the story.

It should be obvious why it's impossible to do otherwise.
The different story paths of major interventions would explode exponentially.
And that's why it feels a bit fake.

But don't get me wrong. I still consider it worth "playing".

Edit: Didn't they have an Ouya port years ago?
Shouldn't be much work to bring it to Linux.

What a wonderful game it is! :)

I second Pixel-Tux, the jumps actually feel *very* precise to me.

Quoting: drmothThat's great news, I was sadly looking at that game recently, mourning the fact it never came to Linux.

Don't hold your breath.

They don't have a Vulkan renderer yet and he did not imply that it is on its way.
