Wine is an excellent piece of software and has given me access to many games or utilities over the years which I'd otherwise would have had to go to Windows for. The effort behind it is nothing short of amazing.

Bought this morning, after Steam recommended it to me. Looks great and has very modest system requirements. I'd never heard of Spoonbeaks before, maybe now that Linux is popular they will port it sometime.

Hmm, I already have this on Steam (caved in when it was released to try it in Wine). I wonder how I can give Feral some money...

Quoting: TheBossVulkan in Talos already beats OpenGL, so actually it would be nice to have it.

I am eager to test it. It will be great to have better performance in Talos Principle.

But wait... I have 540m gt card. I won't be able to use Vulkan before hardware update. Bummer...

When you upgrade to Vulkan-capable hardware, I GUARANTEE you'll get an immediate performance boost.

That's really good news; it's an excellent game.

Another one I'll buy to show my support and then never play. :-)

The first part is also available on iOS, so you can play there if you have an iPhone or iPad. Bear in mind it's a full-on point and click adventure, different from the ones that follow.

The 2nd part I'd played in Wine some years ago and it ran well enough. I'd expect it to work fine right now, too. It's available from GOG. I enjoyed it, fwiw.

Quoting: BeamboomHow can they port something they don't have the source to? Or enhance it, other than replacing some textures?

Are you talking about SS or SS2? Because it doesn't look like SS's code is lost.

I remember trying to replay SS on hard where there was a time limit and failing miserably to meet it. I just might take another crack at it now :-)

My enthusiasm has cooled somewhat after the first impressions I'd read, but the tinkerer in me can't wait to try and find perfect settings for each and every game I own.

There should be no apostrophe in the title of the article, BTW. It now reads Steam Controller Is Now Have a Later Shipping Date. Whi'ch make's n'o s'ens'e. :-)

The only problem with this I see is that the CPU you got is rated by AMD at 125W, whereas the cooler is rated aby Arctic Cooling at 85W. I'd be careful there.
