Quoting: liamdaweAre they separated or all bundled together?

It's a single purchase, you can't buy the episodes separately. Each new episode was an update.

Then there's the answer ;) "Best update"

Also, please do not submit games that were released before 2016*
* Unless it had an update in 2016, as there's a category for that

So to repeat my unanswered question from the announcement post:

Quoting: wintermuteFor episodic games (e.g. Dreamfall Chapters) are we counting the release date of the first episode or the final episode?

The first episode was released October 2014, the final episode was released in June 2016.

Didn't see it sorry. Are they separated or all bundled together?

Quoting: GuestI’ll never buy a Steam Controller as long as it is tied to Steam. But I’m not sure if Valve cares as they made it for the Steam Machines.

As mentioned, it's not actually tied to Steam. On Linux you can use SC Controller and it works perfectly doing configs for it.

The issue here, is to have Valve open source the entire system they use for it. As Valve does other special things that can only be done on Steam.

Quoting: EikeDunno if you already want to sorting out input, but here we go:
I liked Life Is Strange very much. But I don't think episode 1 qualifies as a free game. It's more of a big demo.
(But do get it and play it you didn't do yet!)

Considering it was originally a fully paid game by itself (while being an episode) it is still now free. To me, this counts perfectly.

Quoting: Sgt.Romeo9Aspyr Media announced today that Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI, the next entry in the award-winning Civilization® franchise, which has sold-in over 37 million units, is coming soon to Linux!

This is all Civs together, not the latest one, right?

Likely, yes.

Quoting: LeopardI asked for that because Feral planning to add Vulkan support for Deus Ex:MD.

Are they?; I thought they had mentioned that the first Vulkan game from them would come in the first half of 2017 but it wasnt Deus Ex, though they may revisit it later on to see.

Correct, they have not named any specific game that will use it. The Civ port is likely OpenGL like Mac.

Quoting: SamsaiWhile it's good that more and more games will run on Mesa without users having to do a lot of fiddling, I certainly hope that this doesn't become the norm. I don't really like the idea of Mesa becoming a mess of exception cases and strange code paths for all the weird things game developers do when they don't really know what they are doing.

As was mentioned, this is purely a config change. No new code paths so we're not quite there yet. Also the mechanism is generic enough to be usable for debugging and other problematic titles. Wouldn't have been accepted otherwise.

I can't honestly argue that this isn't a hack though and it will stop working if the executable is renamed.

Yeah I don't really get the people saying it's not a hack. A special config for it is essentially a specific-game hack.

Quoting: ShabbyXHave you noticed the "GPU Driver (AMD)" trend graph has over 105% as the sum of free and proprietary drivers for Jan 2017? That graph generally looks weird: the free driver is on a smooth rise, but the proprietary goes up and down... shouldn't they be complementary?

You're right, there's something wrong in the trend statistics.

This is now fixed BTW, the dates somehow on only that one got mixed up, so I fixed it.

Quoting: liamdaweThe end result is the same, users don't have to fuss around and search around for solutions.

I agree. Let's hope Larian makes the next step which renders this hack [External Link] unnecessary.

Edit: About unnecessary things – was it really necessary to drag this discussion to Twitter and even change my message by cherry-picking and ignoring the term "IMHO"? :|

I often poke fun at people on Twitter, and it wasn't a direct quote just inspired by stuff here. The point again remains, people saying how it's not a big deal. Well to people who have no idea about this, it will be.
