Really not into farming games, but combined with cool graphics and what appears to be twinstick shooter gameplay? Wishlisted :)

Valve adds OpenXR support to SteamVR in 'Developer Preview'

Hmm, this could enable using PSVR on Linux with Steam, as apparently Collabora has a working 6DOF prototype driver for it in Monado.
Could be a really cool entry level VR option, especially since they are widely available and relatively cheap.

Coinspam on GOL ;)

The idea is good, but from a quick look at the websites for "web monetazation" it seems like this isn't a industry wide initiative like this article makes it sound, but rather some obscure cryptocurrency linked project.

Maybe better promote Offset, which is also obscure, but 100% blockchain free:

Or GNU Taler: https://taler.net/ [External Link]

June's Humble Choice is out with Supraland, Overload, Barotrauma and more
6 Jun 2020 at 9:35 am UTC

The comments here... there seem to be some real hidden gems in this one and the AAA titles are also not too bad. And yes I own some of these already, but as long as there are 2-3 titles in it the low price is worth it.

I pause Humble choice a lot, but this time probably not.

So Microsoft finally stopped the vendor strongarming, or at least Lenovo must feel big enough for them to take the risk.

A vr version would probably work nicely 🤔

Wine 5.7 is out with more WineD3D Vulkan work, a start on a USB device driver
26 Apr 2020 at 11:51 am UTC

Hmm, USB device driver support? 🤔

That could also open up all sorts of previously windows only input controllers (wheels, flight sticks) and maybe even Occulus Rift support? I think the latter uses a display port and a usb3 connection, right? Even more awesome would be Occulus Quest link support, which is usb3 only AFAIK. Edit: Ah but Quest Link would also need Nvidia hardware video compression support I think.

When I wrote that, it was also still referencing an older version. But now I got an update notification so it seems to be solved :)

Yeah, this is used in the super cool 199$ Pinebook Pro laptop, can't wait to get mine with Manjaro preinstalled in two weeks :)
