I love GOG but that is the worst thing about them. There are several dozen games on there that have yet to add their already finished Linux ports.

Last time I commented on ARK performance, I was using only the APU iGPU and running the game playable. All I can say is that some of you guys who doled out for big GPUs got unlucky, I was shocked to find so many other people having trouble.

ARK for all Linux users does still have graphical bugs such as incorrect water reflection mapping. What resolutions are you guys trying to drive? I'm using lowly 1600x900 only because recently I upgraded my machine from a little APU box and I have to wonder if it only runs so well for me because of that.

Quoting: ElectricPrismValve is just chipping away at the mountain, the avalanche is coming. I suspect that Steam Machines Winter 2016 and Spring 2017 will be power houses ready for the final console war.

There Steam Machines will enact the final solution. We will be victorious comrades.
So inspiring. Do we having any comic artists that would be willing to depict this metaphor?

Quoting: KimyrielleGood to see another heavyweight title coming to Linux. The more, the merrier.
This is the most important thing. Even in a period of player controversy, at least Payday 2 a name people recognize.

Godot keeps crashing and freezing on me and they want you to use their in-house, non-universal scripting language ew. Maybe I'll give this a shot.
