Quoting: Eike
Quoting: BogomipsSounds nice, indeed.
But for me, after the last update, the -hwcursor launch parameter does not seem to work anymore.
If you've got sensitivity problems, there's a script by the porter in the respective Steam thread. He says Unity has changed behaviour without notice (and that it does so often)...
This update has now rolled out.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLIs any way to test Stadia for internet speed, pings, lags? Any free demo gamę available?
The article clearly states there's two free to play titles.

Quoting: EagleDeltaJust to add - this update is going to be for both Baldur's Gate: EE AND Baldur's Gate II: EE. Both have betas up and both need testers.
This is mentioned at the very top of the article ;)

Quoting: HamishNever had to deal with a bear attack on your hives I see.
Oh no, don't go giving them any ideas ;)

Quoting: OdisejMy experience is rather different. I like the bundles as they introduce games I would probably not even notice. I have had a a great time playing some of them especially from Daedalic. I won't play all of them I added to my library until now but for 10e+ I don't see it as a big expense.
Frankly for the price, I've not seen a month that has been a "bad" deal even if I was only interested personally in two of the games at the lowest on one of them because it was still vastly cheaper than buying individually. Builds up a nice collection to keep, unlike other subscriptions where you're basically renting.

Unity acquires the open source MLAPI networking library

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: Purple Library GuyGotta say it feels weird to me to see someone say they "acquired" something that's open source. I know what they mean, but my instincts yell "It's open source, it belongs to everyone!"
I actually wasn't sure. Does it mean they hired the (main) developer?
Hired yes and the GitHub has moved under Unity's umbrella.

Stadia exclusives Outcasters and Submerged: Hidden Depths out now and free for Stadia Pro

Quoting: GuestSerious Sam 3 was not the best initial experience.
Was it for anyone? Even on Windows it was initially a very rough launch...
Quoting: GuestNice to see Stadia continue - and nice that it's finding use, without really taking away from local play either. Another tool in the box.
Yeah, that's the way I see it. Linux desktop is my primary, Stadia is an interesting option for certain games.

Operation Broken Fang announced for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Quoting: ageres
On top of that there's a new competitive map entering the game called Ancient, and it looks pretty awesome.
Aztec finally returns?
From what I can gather, it seems like it started as a remake of it.

Quoting: Blue22Anybody else has problems starting the game? I'm stuck after the intro to the Operation Broken Fang intro.

Operation Broken Fang is literally broken for me.
All fine here. Stuck how? There's a close button in the right corner do you not get it after the intro?

Stadia exclusives Outcasters and Submerged: Hidden Depths out now and free for Stadia Pro

Quoting: randylI would like if they would add a local install/cached option for capable devices.
Since it runs Linux builds, it would only be useful to us Linux users. A lot of work to enable it for (sadly) not much gain for them right now.

I can see myself playing a whole lot more Outcasters that's for sure.

Quoting: VdoPeven if it isn't official.
But it is official, they even feature tux in their youtube videos and in its webpage
