Aspyr Media are getting a little help from Intel for the long-delayed Linux patch to Civilization VI

Civ 5 segfaults at start since I upgraded to a Ryzen 1700. I believe it's a combination of too many(?) cores and too new GCC version.
Because of this I haven't even considered buying Civ 6.

I believe it's a known issue (many people have it on the steam forums), but I haven't seen a patch for it in half a year.

According to Kotaku, Microsoft is close to buying Obsidian

What horrible news! Pillars and Tyranny are some of my favourite games.

Quoting: sevenits PACMAN, it just has too be. so obvious
Finally! After all these years the package manager of Arch will finally be native. So tired of running that shit through Wine. So thankful for Feral right now.
You might still get better FPS with it on Windows though...

Quoting: scaineSeagulls and Aurora. Isn't there an Aurora in Subnautica? And seagulls would make sense...?

It has issues under Steamplay too. Fingers crossed for this.
I wish! This is a game I've been wanting to play for a long time.

What are you clicking on this weekend and what do you think about it?

I just stupidly did rm * on the root partition while trying to migrate to a new M.2 ssd. I stopped it within 2 seconds of having issued the command but already 8GB had been deleted, including everything in /bin and /usr/bin... :D

Luckily my last automatic backup was only 10 hours old, so I'm already back up and running with no data loss.

Quoting: HmeGrabbed a copy of DOOM (2016) for 7€, thinking I would test this whole proton thing not expecting much...
IT RUNS SO SMOOTH!
Where did you find it at that price?

Valve's Steam Play should work better today, as DXVK was left in debug mode causing a performance drop

And here I was thinking it ran surprisingly well yesterday! :-D

Granted, all the games I tried were 4+ years old, but still.

This is great news to me: it means I can finally play all those old games I have and the ones I got from bundles.
I most likely won't buy non-native games in the future though, it's just a little too risky. Who knows if they'll still work tomorrow?

I guess I'll be firing up Civ 4 and Skyrim this afternoon :-)

Also, Hard West is at a crazy 2€ on Steam. It runs ok on my Linux system, though the FPS is not that high.
I also picked Tropico 5 Complete up for 7,77€ at gamesplanet.fr.

Thoughts on the Corsair STRAFE RGB Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Silent Switches

I bought a cherry keyboard with blue switches a few years back, and it's a keyboard I'll never stop using. Sure, it might be loud, but it's incredibly good for typing. Also, no annoying RGB lights, just plain boring black design ;-)

Quoting: Tchey
Quoting: tuubiThe game is aesthetically very pleasing, but I just couldn't push myself to finish it. I guess I simply wasn't having fun. Couldn't say why exactly. On paper the game should be right up my alley.
Same here, i couldn't find the fun, even if the game fits perfectly my check-list-for-games-i-should-love
Same same here, I've given the game several tries but just get bored and never finish it.
Sure, the graphics and music is nice, but the game itself just isn't very interesting in my opinion.
