The Humble RPG Bundle seems like a really great deal for Linux gamers

Yeah, I already have the 4 games I'd want the most. This is an incredible amount of great gaming for dirt cheap. I wish I knew more people that spent quality time with RPG's.

Godot Engine continues advancing the Vulkan rendering system, 3D work has begun

Having never heard the word myself, I was always pronouncing it "go-dot" in my American head.

This reminds me of a Tweet a week or so ago where the coiner of a word (can't remember which) was asked which was the correct pronunciation and he essentially said both. Me, being a very particular person, would not be able to live with myself if I replied like that!

Quoting: PhiladelphusSince a quick perusal of their site didn't answer my questions, I'll ask here: how does multiplayer work? Does it use a separate server and client system like Minecraft? Most importantly, does it require port forwarding to work?

Ooo, this is really sweet. Yes, SPICE would be a fantastic next step. Imagine Raspberry Pi as a thin client... I guess Steam Link is the same thing. Still, it would still be very useful to me if it was local only. I run VirtualBox and libvirtd locally to tinker with stuff besides my dedicated hypervisor.

The Bard's Tale IV: Director's Cut is now out, adding Linux support and other goodies

Weren't the older Bard's Tale games comedic? This one looks like they walked away from that a bit.

Since it's single-player, maybe it won't be important to download every patch published by GOG.

Looks like a support hero. *Interested*

OBS Studio has a fresh release candidate available for a major new version
23 Aug 2019 at 12:49 am UTC

OBS hasn't been picking up the color white lately. It's been showing it as black. Seems like a regression maybe. I wonder if that will be fixed. I'm running version 23.
