And on International Talk Like a Pirate Day :grin:

I’ve been having a lot of fun with mine, works great.

A previous article about Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered being awesome isn’t wrong.
Works, mostly, flawlessly (the odd graphical artifact that may be present in the windows version) and a great game.

If anyone enjoyed the Batman Arkham games, it’s just as good if not quite a bit better.

For some reason it crashes randomly on my Linux desktop, but that might be Nvidia driver issues.

Valve speeds up Steam Deck production some more, all existing reservations this year

Just got mine today, I own my own company so I was trying to get everyone done early so I could get home to try it :grin:

Still fiddling around with it, but phenomenal first impressions.

Quoting: slaapliedjeSerious Sam 4... like the only Croteam game that isn't Linux Native (yet?). Was saddened when they stopped their awesome trend...
I might be in the minority, but I’m just happy it works at all.
I look at it like:
I want to run cars on pickle juice but most manufacturers only make gasoline cars.
Someone (Valve and others) made it so I can run my car on pickle juice.
I’m okay with that 🤷‍♂️

Come tell us about what you've been gaming on Linux lately

I had bought Doom Eternal on sale and started playing it via Steam Play.
Then “Update #1” came out and completely broke it due to DRM.
Requested a refund due to that “feature” not being advertised when purchased.

Refund received 👍

I’ll go back to playing Borderlands 3 & The Witcher 3 I guess

Action-adventure roguelike UnderMine now available in Early Access

Seeing as I’m on call this evening, and the cost of this game amounts to about 20 minutes of pay... I bought it as it sounded interesting.

It’s a very good game as is and I’m looking forward to what they might add in the future.

This will keep me busy and content between calls.

Cheers!

A look over the ProtonDB reports for June 2019, over 5.5K games reported to work with Steam Play

Quoting: gojulGood that games work perfectly with Proton as native ports get more and more scarce. On the flip side Proton works so well that some games that stopped working on Windows like Act of Treason and it made some ports unnecessary.
This made me stop and think.
Can you use Steam Play on Windows? I haven’t had Windows install for a couple years now.

Would be an interesting incentive for some to at least dual-boot to play some cherished classic games. Completely backwards to the reason most people did/do dual boot.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think of it?

Been playing a lot of Mad Max and The Witcher 3.

Both games have a lot to explore if you don't want to just plough through the main story line.

Both run excellently with Proton, haven't found any issues with many hours of play.

DXVK 0.96 is now officially out with CPU & GPU overhead improvements plus plenty more

Quoting: GuestWhy would you worry to break an EULA? Did you really read all and agree? They enforce this after buying the game anyway and do not care to make the game run fine on your platform. So they take your money, show you later an EULA, enforce you to agree with everything as otherwise they blocking you from using the game. Fixing a game that I own and paid for is my right :-)
Its not the EULA for the game I'm worried about breaking, it's Steam's terms of service and losing my account/library :D

I have a few single player games that will not work due to DRM issues.

I’m curious as to what Steam’s terms of service are on modifying the game files as there are obviously removal tools from the pirate community.

On one hand, yes you are removing a “security feature” and likely breaking the EULA of that particular game.

On the other hand, since it was purchased on Steam. The fact that you paid for that game is 100% verifiable ?
