I tried Occulus and Vive. The experience is unbelievable, so good. But I had headache, needed to rest. Is strange for the mind. I hope we have software/hardware improvements instead of making the user adapt to the technology.

My experience makes me stop each 20-30'. Same for my girlfriend. She was VERY impressed, "all was VERY beautiful", but she needed to remove glasses, take some water, relax.

Any of you played for several hours?

By the way, great news to have this on Linux.

Cheers.

The 'Humble Freedom Bundle' is huge and well worth picking up

Quoting: xaviMaybe I'm confused but seeing the Top Contributors, there are 500$ contributors and a 3000$ contributor... aren't we collaborating to money laundering of ACLU?
I explain a bit better my comment:

What I mean is... if I collaborate in the bundle, of course I will put the money on MSF. But lots of people from the government will use the bundle to money laundering sending "white money" to ACLU. So, individually, most of us will help MSF and this is really good thing, but the whole platform can be used to wash money related to political campaigns.

I live in Spain, here lots of people from government received 2*500 euros (black money) in exchange for donating 1000 euros. You can translate this news:

A look at some neat Linux games you can find on the awesome itch store

Quoting: ertuquequeFantastic article! This is exactly what I wanted, a list of recommended games for itch.io... Please, keep these ones coming from time to time.
Fellow GOL writer flesk also maintains an Itco.io collection called Linux Gems [External Link], which might be of interest (I'm listed as a creator, but flesk has done all the work!)
Wow! Thanks for that list!

But IMHO it need to be a bit sorted, because it's so big.

Do you plan some sort of "favourites" inside the big list?

Cheers.

Streets of Rogue, the cool rogue-like RPG updated with a new Werewolf character
24 Oct 2016 at 6:15 am UTC

Quoting: xaviI tried on Debian Jessie but it crashes here:

"Using libudev for joystick management
Importing game controller configs"

Does anyone fixed this problem?
Finally I found where the logs are:
/home/USERNAME/.config/unity3d/Streets of Rogue/Streets of Rogue/Player.log

Found my bug:
"Failed to open BO for returned DRI2 buffer (1920x1080, dri2 back buffer"

Fixed and posted on their itch.io website:

Hope it helps others. Game is nice!
