Quoting: Liam DaweThe article should note if you have questions you have not answered and tells you how many.
I know, that's how I noticed I had 2 missing answers, but it's barely visible if you don't pay much attention to everything in the article. And it's quite easy to miss it, considering it's basically the same article each month and you don't have changes in your configuration you're rather tempted to "click here to continue to be included" and move on.

So placing that notification in a div with a visible background color would help. :)
A fair point if I wish to bring attention to it, okay. I've adjusted it to place it into an info box with the "here's what we have for you" bit below that. This should clearly make it stand out now.

It's Proton. ProtonDB is a website.

Quoting: mylkawhy does he need a new engine? just use godot
I like Godot but it's not the answer to everything and it doesn't fit everyone's needs. Why does anyone make their own stuff? To learn, to have full control and know exactly what it's doing. Just telling a developer to "use x game engine" isn't particularly helpful.

Quoting: kneekooWow, that only reinforces the idea of highlighting the newly added questions, so people can provide input if they want to. Thanks for the Trends tip! :)

Quoting: Alm888It seems the questions about WINE and Proton™ usage have been removed…
I think it was discussed a bit in the last round, and the consensus was that those questions are no longer applicable in the current market situation.
Yup, was discussed before. The questions were useless due to the way this survey gathers data. We may do differently styled questions on it in future.

Depending on your point of view, in a really roundabout way...yes.

Quoting: vskyeGlad you finally noticed this. I posted about this on Twitter earlier in the week and nobody seemed to care. lol
I came across it by chance. If people have tips, please always email them in.

Quoting: NodWould be nice to see some pi focused gaming content on GOL.
Well, we do now have a nice tag for it ;)

Quoting: scaineI'm gonna play my sceptical card on this title. We Happy Few was meant to come to Linux, but MS stepped in, bought the studio and announce, "suuuuuuure, it's still coming to Linux", then of course, it didn't.

So I'll stay hopeful, but I'm reigning in my expectations for this.
We Happy Few was a different situation though, a messy one at that. Double Fine at least have a history of supporting Linux, whereas Compulsion Games did not and they repeatedly delayed Linux and then teamed up with Gearbox too. At least in this case Double Fine are very clear about supporting Linux with it every time asked, and they don't wait to be asked either as they just openly state it's coming to all promised platforms.

Narrative exploration RPG 'Vagrus - The Riven Realms' enters Early Access

Quoting: denyasisMakes sense. Thanks for the clarification. I dunno, it's just weird to me to tout your awards before the game is even released or complete.
AAA games do it all the time, as they get awards during game events. It's quite normal.

KDE teams up with Slimbook to bring a stylish new AMD Ryzen 4800H laptop

Quoting: kit89It looks like a nice laptop, but I can't find what the weight of the machine is. Being advertised as a SlimBook I can only imagine it's not heavy, their website is somewhat light on information.
1KG for Slimbook 14" and 1.5KG for the Slimbook 15.6" according to the spec.
