A new Humble Monthly is out and it’s not bad with Cities: Skylines (and DLC) plus MGSV

I just hate it when I own one of the games. Last month it was like: I already have Hollow Knight, I don't care about 7 Day to Die so that leaves just Hitman. Will I give 12 bucks for it? Eh... Same thing this month - I've Cities and I'm unsure if I'm that interested in MGS V.

Valve have pushed out another Steam Play update with the 3.16-4 beta including corefonts support

So, the big things that are ahead are fixing .NET problems, i.e. being able to install recent versions and the sound problems in Fallout 4, Skyrim etc. I think the first one should be solved by upgrading the wine version they use and the second will hopefully be fixed by Ethan soon.

Also it'd be great if they can squeeze even more performance in, but I think they've about reached the limit of something like 90% of windows performance. So I guess consistent 90% would be the final goal.

And then, they need to solve the anti-cheat problem. Which is probably the biggest mountain to climb, but unless you have the big multiplayer titles (even the ones not on Steam), you're not going anywhere.

Hey, we owned up to it 100% props for that. It was an incredibly stupid thing to do, but I respect people who take responsibility of their mistakes. Hope he can fix the game and be successful enough.

Quoting: DoctorJunglist
Quoting: mao_dze_dunOh, come on. I just bought Hollow Knight last month... Would have preferred to buy it with Hitman.
You can send me the extra Hollow Knight code if you want :D
Just have to decide if Hitman is worth 12 bucks, considering I have a crap to of games to play through (conincidentally, Hollow Knight being one of them) :D

Quoting: TPhaster...we need friendly and welcoming community - they need to feel that Linux OS is for everybody and not for small tech elite.
Problem number one for the majority of people who tried Linux and then gave up, because thy were trolled on reddit by some elitist a**hole. Even some of the people on the Linux gaming sub-reddit are just insufferable. A few weeks back I was called out for having a "parasitic way of thinking" because I dared to express my view that an OS is nothing more than a tool and I will use both Windows and Linux for whatever purpose they best suit me. Then there was this other person, who tried to explain to me that not having Photoshop or Vegas Pro was somehow the fault of both the developer and the user. Essentially, people who need professional software had to be ashamed they need non-Linux software and use Linux anyway. Because f*ck your job - open source for life :). You just need a bit of a thick skin when you're in the Linux community. 9 people are extremely friendly and helpful, but the 10th makes Apple fanboys go "Daaaaaaaaamn!!!" :))).
