Awesome looking adventure 'BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION' should now look great on AMD & Intel GPUs

Quoting: CorbenThey even bought an extra machine with AMD GPU to reproduce the issue.
I hope there are now enough Linux buyers to justify the costs of the extra machine and still be a net positive in the end!
Here I go and buy it!

What have you been playing recently and what are your thoughts?
8 Mar 2020 at 7:40 pm UTC

I played Black Mesa, but it's machines stopped working one version before,so I let it sleep for a while.

Now, I played Lennas' Inception with my short ones, it's such a fun game and worth every second I played it. I am so eager to slay all bosses, but as well to solve the side quests - and it is for my casual style gaming completely well balanced (old men like to take it easy)

A full recommendation for Lenna's Inception.

What are some of your favourite game soundtracks?
Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams - as a guy who loaded Giana Sisters on C64 just to listen this one is a must

I had got two months off and I played all day - so it's all me :-D

--edit--
Just for the public interest: I had no survey in this time - not on my TV nor on my Desktop

Descent 3 returns to Linux (and macOS) with an official modern port

This is cool! I am looking at the Loki Descent 3 CD on my shelf from time to time. I tried installing it some time ago and it failed miserably ;-)

Thank you Ryan for porting it again! (and all you other lifetime achievements for the penguin, of course!)

The hero is dead so it's up to you to fix a glitched world - Lenna's Inception is out now

It's really cute! The thing I don't get is when Lenna reaches EOL - should there be an overlay menu popping up or what? I am completely lost with my steam controller and some sounds when wildly clicking buttons...

--edit--
Found it! It's on the keyboard! Great and lovely game!

Open Fodder, the open source game engine for Cannon Fodder has a new release

Quoting: chr
Quoting: heidi.wenger
Quoting: chrSomeone with the skills (or time and motivation to acquire the skills in the process) should just go and add an appimage/flatpak/snap build script for them. So the other devs have very little maintenance to do.
I was about to email them about this (and maybe even join the convo here!) but there's no contact towards the author to be found? https://github.com/segrax [External Link]
I guess the only option left is making an issue? Btw this issue [External Link] asked about flatpak/appimage/snap. So there is a piece of the puzzle (what that person thinks of this).
My flatpak version is almost working. The only thing is that it does not find the executable when running from a repository. When I test-run it in flatpak-builder it works like a charm. My first flatpak experience, though :-)

I guess the only poblem here is packing the data files into the packages. I mean right-wise, not technical-wise.

The latest Black Mesa update makes it much smoother on Linux

Yay! I'm hanging in Zen where you have to hop through that mirror. Framerate was maybe 300fpm... No chance to hop along :)

Prepare for Half-Life: Alyx with the full and complete Beta of Half-Life recreation Black Mesa out now
9 Dec 2019 at 6:28 am UTC

In the Linux version, if you find it crashes on start try removing the "glshaders.cfg" file found with the game files usually in the "bms" folder. This will clear the Black Mesa cache, which can cause issues as it seems to stick between versions. That fully fixed it for me.
For me too! I was just starting a new playthrough (after how many years now?). This comes in fantastic! I am currently at the "Three Piston" Level of "Apprehension".

Save games ar no longer compatible, though...
