Check out the first gameplay from Amnesia: Rebirth

Sadly VR as been ruled out by the developers:
One thing that probably won’t be happening is a VR mode. The question of a VR version crops up whenever a first-person horror game is announced, but in this case Grip says it would be very hard to do and Frictional doesn’t have any plans for it.

On an unrelated note: I love the small details of this, such as that the voice actor has this slight french accent that actually fits to the background story of the main character.

Quoting: trawzI hope they'll include some kind of VR support down the line, that would probably make for the scariest game ever!
Now that would be an awesome project for the recently open-sourced original Amnesia game engine :)

Yes, but I think they also more recently announced to have put development on hold (for both?) due to financial troubles of the developer. Thus it is looking rather unlikely that the Linux port will ever happen.
They work (with some performance issues) in Proton though.

Not much recent new MMORPGs and maybe if you spend a bit of money in it, it becomes fun? But IMHO if it isn't really fun the first few hours in the free tier, why would I spend money on it to see if it might be fun then?

Anyways, Veloren is on a good way to become a cool open source MMORPG, if you don't mind the voxel graphics.

Tried it recently again. The shop system is just odd and at least on the free tier it is still endless grind.

Definitly has potential, but the f2p nonsense breaks it IMHO.

What have you been gaming on Linux lately? Come chat

I had a very similar issue with my F310. Opening it up didn't show anything as the problem was in the cable at the point where it enters the controller. Seems like a common point where the cable partially breaks.
I fixed it by cutting the cable a bit shorter and resoldering it inside on the PCB. Wasn't super easy, but very manageable even for a novice solderer like me.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHmmm . . . wonder why there's suddenly no money for severance etc.
Was the company mismanaged and in debt? Or did the money disappear into the owner's pocket?
Likely neither. Indivisible was/is a way over ambitious game project (wanna be AAA Indie game) that given the high price point and ultimately only average Indie game qualities probably made a huge loss. It's not a bad game, but anyone with a bit of common sense could see that project having a high chance of killing the studio.

Oh, and I just started playing it with Proton. I guess time to reinstall :)

Veloren daily builds are actually starting to resemble a bit more than a techdemo. Fun to try the most recent development.

Also started playing Children of Morta. Seems cool but I didn't play much so far.

Fantastic 2D action-RPG 'Chronicon' has now released

Works fine here on Manjaro as well. Graphics take some time to get used to, but the game is a solid loot driven ARPG. The main problem is that it is way too easy. Even on legendary mode you can just walk through it at least with my character build. Maybe I got a strange unbalanced skill combination by accident?
