Been playing this off and on ever since it first came out, it's a really good game!

It's drm-free on steam as well, not just gog :woot:

Humble's Better With a Friend bundle has some quality co-op games

I'd love to see specific mention of couch co-op when mentioning these sort of games, as someone not into online gaming but always looking for some friendly couch co-op 😀

Tribes of Midgard and Across the Obelisk seem to be online co op only

It's a shame that less games take local multiplayer into account, especially on pc where some companies think we only play at a desk *cough* diablo 4

Yes as we all know only consoles have hdmi output

Popular game launcher Playnite will get Linux support but it's still a while away

Yeah you're not wrong and gets me thinking how hard this could be, especially when different distros might put files in different places. Would make it very hard to auto-scan for games with how the file system works

Even if it takes more initial setting up, if the gui works as smooth as it does on windows I'd be happy

Those talking about htpc, I've been using my pc on a sofa in front of a TV for about 3 years now.. I use a keyboard/touchpad combo (logitech k400) and honestly never used my controller to navigate or launch games, and works great.. though you might have to run a usb extension cable so the receiver can actually pick it up

Also I hope it includes something like lutris support as lutris is handy alone for its community installers, currently I use lutris to help install games then add them on heroic and using heroic as my main launcher

This is so exciting!

I recall seeing the dev on reddit few years back saying he'd look into possible linux support

This would be fantastic, I've wanted playnite on linux for a LONG time now, playnite is awesome

Epic Games devs talk about solutions to the Unreal Engine stuttering issues in games

@Ehvis

Also I suppose have to ask, who's responsibility is it? Epic or the game developers, maybe abit of both? There's definitely some UE4 games that don't have shader stutter if the developers make it a priority, or at least minimise it

And even if shader stutter wasn't a thing, there's still things like traversal stutter and the constant streaming of assets that has been a hindrance too, bring back loading screens!

Thank the PC gods that epic are taking this seriously

And thank you Alex from digital foundry LOL

The Sims and The Sims 2 officially return with a Legacy Collection for each
1 Feb 2025 at 12:54 pm UTC

Is there any improvements? Steam reviews imply it's just the same games

Already have sims 1 and 2 installed and running fine so don't see need for me to buy this

DOOM: The Dark Ages launches May 15 with a new trailer and developer video

My pc is getting old (like me) so looks like I'll be playing at 1080p low

Hope they eventually remove denuvo like they have done in the past, and I wonder if this will get an sdk like Eternal?
