Quoting: TermyThis still requires the godforsaken origin app, doesn't it?
Would really like to get it, but not with that abomination attached to it...

Uses the EA App.

Quoting: GuestMandatory reminder: Not worth playing unless you experienced Half-Life: Alyx in VR first.

I don't think such a complete stance is really helpful though. Tons of reasons why someone can't / won't get a VR kit. From price to accessibility, mobility issues etc.

Quoting: GuestThat being said, while the mod is bound to stay janky forever, it's impressive seeing that it is still being worked on.

I disagree here as well really. There's actually nothing in the game mechanically, that they can't move over to some form of KB/M control and still have it work well overall.

The atmosphere will never be the same, but making the story more accessible is great for everyone.

[...] with plenty of indie teams having a growing list of titles they no longer worked on directly that could benefit from a little TLC.

Can someone please explain to me what does TLC stand for?

It means "Tender Loving Care". :wink:

Unless Liam was referring to his favourite girl group from the nineties.

No Scrubs was a banger.

They're being added under "Valve Jupiter device", with Jupiter being one of the names Valve seems to use for SteamOS.

I could be wrong, but I think that "Jupiter" is the hardware platform of the Steam Deck - the computer gubbins - and "Neptune" is the input platform of the Steam Deck - the controller gubbins. SteamOS itself is called Holo for the version with the Deck, and was named after DOTA characters for the Steam Machines - .Alchemist, Brewmaster, and Clockwerk.

If we assume that there's some underlying logic to the codename, Galileo the person and Galileo the probe are both famed for looking at Jupiter, which suggests it might be a Valve gaming platform linked somehow with visuals: a new display, or VR, maybe? It's all pretty thin, though.

It’s a little mixed on exactly what it is, because a bunch of OS packages are named Jupiter. We’ve also seen before “Jupiter OS” named directly like in a dev stream https://youtu.be/P6CUQeHIxDA?t=12417 [External Link] perhaps before they settled on the name Holo for that specific SteamOS.

Quoting: JacksonI always feel like they are going to bring back the Original Steam Machines, but instead of it failing by relying on native ports, now they can use Steam OS on it. That would be a very interesting project and I believe it would greatly contribute to Linux gaming. Just like Steam Deck has up until now.

Would love to see what kind of impact a home console from steam would bring not only to the PC gaming market, but also to the Linux gaming space!

I think you mean Proton, not SteamOS specifically ;). Proton is what runs Windows games on Linux.

Quoting: PenglingI found this very entertaining to watch when it appeared in the GOL "5 years of Proton" stream on YouTube; That moment of utter surprise the moment that bomb fell out of the sky and landed just inches from your tank, then exploded before you could've ever gotten away from it, was just epic - and hilarious. :tongue: I'm going to have to try it out soon, methinks. :grin:

Oh yeah, I remember the confusion in me at that moment. Epic though seeing the bomb drop, fail to detonate and then blow me up seconds later lol! Good times. War Thunder can be pretty great.
