Livestreaming Software OBS Studio Major Update

Quoting: CybaCowboyThe Web site [External Link] still says it's "coming soon"... Is this the alpha or the beta, to which you're referring?
You need to either use the PPA, or compile it. Updated the article to mention this.

I have updated the article, real shame developers have to deal with people claiming they are something they aren't.

Quoting: MayeulCIt ooks a lot like risk of rain. Is it from the same devs ? If so, what will happen now that gameMaker has been bought ?
Anyway, added to my wishlist :)
No, different people, and no idea what it's made in.

Quoting: morbiusI was very much into this game until I've seen on Steam that it's a Paradox-style DLC fiesta. I hate developers who keep endlessly nickel-and-diming their customers.
I don't see it being an issue? Why the heck would you ignore a game because they work on giving you additional content that is completely optional?

Quoting: SkullyNot sure why you think we should change our passwords, nothing in that message says anything about other people being compromised, just you. And I haven't received such a mail.

Not even sure why it's an article on here.
Exactly what Cyba.Cowboy said.

It's a major issue affecting a lot of people. Not everyone will see the email, and we would rather be safe than sorry, and it's a good reminder for people.

League Of Legends Not Coming To Other Platforms

Quoting: BeamboomWell, if we are to be pedantic even Macs are PCs these days.
Yeah, this is pretty much my point, but it's a dead argument as most developers don't really care about their terminology, it just annoys me with announcements like this, as it just confuses matters.

No More Probes, A Really Stylish Survival RTS Coming To Linux
22 Mar 2015 at 9:05 pm UTC

Quoting: N30N@liam, I don't think this should be classified as a [RTS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_strategy).
I don't really agree with Wikipedia on this one I'm afraid. I see an RTS as any strategy game that you control at least one unit that builds things and isn't turn-based :P

Tales of Maj'Eyal Roguelike RPG Has A Major Update & On Sale, Some Thoughts Thrown In

Quoting: SkullyLiam I see you always cheering about Alt+tab working in games.
Alt+Tab works almost all the time since people stopped using the old version of SDL.
And if you do find a game that doesn't. Bring up the steam overlay and bam you can Alt-Tab in any game.
Hey, I'm allowed to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

Beautiful Platformer 'Pid' No Longer Heading To Linux

Quoting: IgnisConsidering that GoL is available over HTTPS too it should use absolute /paths/from/root for pictures on it's own server (like tagline-image). //protocol.relative/urls will do as well, but that's more characters since domain needs to be included.
Stuff like that needs to go in the suggestion forum please :)

Bioshock Infinite Early Linux Port Report

Quoting: dubigrasu
Quoting: liamdaweI'm pretty damn happy with it, my only issues are the textures flickering, but it doesn't happen everywhere, and the stutter when loading a new area (I'm sure a few optimizations can be done for that somewhere?).

Ohhh heellllooooo, going to try fix now to see if it works for me :D

Edit > Just played it for a bit, didn't notice any stutter now, cheers!
