Alien: Isolation - The Collection is 70% off on the Feral Interactive store

Quoting: MajGuanoGreat game, mediocre port.
If you consider that the game runs on (your) Manjaro and (my) Fedora, on top of the only official distrib: Ubuntu, and also if you consider the poor status of the sound stack in Linux in general; don't you think "mediocre port" is a bit exaggerated?

We now have a Matrix chat room setup with an IRC bridge if you want to join

Quoting: tuubiI'll test the mobile client on my Sailfish phone, but seems like Android apps running on the the compat layer tend to drain the battery on this old thing.
When it's not installed from the Google Play Store, the app is actually pulling the data and the default sync delay is quite short (something like 0 second :D), so you can go in the settings and put "Delay between two sync requests" to 120 seconds.

Quoting: Blauer_HungerWhy not a XMPP MUC (eventually bridged with the IRC)?
I think we can say now that XMPP is a failure... It makes 10 years that I'm waiting for it to have something more than just text. The extensions should have been the solution, but in the end it doesn't work and the few that added audio and video chat (Google, etc) have closed their extension because it's impossible to federate. So in the end, I don't see XMPP as a viable solution.

On other front, I've closed the room to the guest because it started to become very difficult to tell which guest was a zombie or not (Matrix needs to improve on that, issue is entered already).

Quoting: oldrocker99I bought it, and now I'm afraid to play :dizzy: ...
Honestly it's really cool! Turn off your lights, pump up the volume and dive in the game!

I've played for around 4h I think and it's like an Alien movie where you are the hero, I LOVE IT!

Strange that Steam doesn't get anything at all (but I believe you ;) )

Is there really a difference between buying from Feral store and get a Steam key, and buying directly the key from Steam? #honnestquestion

Some thoughts on switching from Ubuntu to Antergos for Linux gaming

Quoting: chimpyMan all this talk of switching to Arch, now I'm tempted to give it another shot :)
Give a shot at Fedora, it's the future!

I tried a lot of distros for the past 10 years (from Debian to Arch), but at my surprise, I tried Fedora a year ago and I think it's one of the best so far.

Another Steam Beta Client update released, allows moving game location
19 Jan 2017 at 5:13 am UTC

Quoting: gurvYou just have to move the steamlibrary/common/gamedirectory and the steamlibrary/appmanifest_xxxx.acf to their new location (where xxx is the steam id of the game. if you don't know it just grep "game name" steamlibrary/*.acf.

For example :
mv ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Victor\ Vran /mnt/ssd/steam/common/

grep -i "victor" ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/*.acf
/home/zzzz/.steam/steam/steamapps/appmanifest_345180.acf: "name" "Victor Vran"
/home/zzzz/.steam/steam/steamapps/appmanifest_345180.acf: "installdir" "Victor Vran"

mv ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/appmanifest_345180.acf /mnt/ssd/steam/

Done ^^
Note: do it preferably with Steam closed.
Thank you!
