Saw this a couple of months ago and piqued my interest straight away. it's fantastic they are planning Linux support already :)

Quoting: wleoncioSounds cool! I wonder if they would also target Chromecast devices, that might make me buy a Steam Controller.
That would be very interesting!

Just bought Donkey Kong for Switch and received the key for PoE 2 from Fig, Everspace will have to wait another month or so I'm afraid.

Pixel art cinematic adventure Backbone looks good on Kickstarter

Quoting: DepeszaIt looks like Backbone was heavily inspired by comic album series Blacksad. Since Blacksad is one of my favorite comics, I hope that Backbone will be good as well.
I didn't know about Blacksad but adding it to my next comic to buy, thanks :D

There is a limit of times I can resist backing a game. This post was one too many and had to back it xD

The Steam Hardware Survey had some flaw causing cyber cafes to be over-counting users

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyMeanwhile, it's now been a couple of years since any of the Linux-based computers in our household have been counted in the Hardware Survey... But that's not a bug, and it all works "as designed".
I actually got the survey two days ago and got totally by surprise!

System76 have announced a new Oryx Pro laptop model and it's a bit of a beast

If it wasn't because my company insists on only buying Mac Books for IT personnel, and I don't need more laptops, I would definitely consider one of these.

Not sure what to think of the teaser. Need more input to make a decision.

A new Steam Client Beta adds support for the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

Quoting: CorbenYeah, cool! Will have to try that out. The Switch Pro Controller feels quite different to my former mainly used Xbox 360 and now mainly used Steam Controller.
Has anyone tried it already? Is it possible to connect the Pro Controller via wireless with the PC? Does it work on Linux?

The only game I couldn't enjoy with my Steam Controller so far is RUINER. Here the aiming via touchpad doesn't really work good for me, and mouse region unfortunately seems bugged with RUINER. So I'll give it a try with the Pro Controller.
I paired my Switch Pro Controller a few months ago with my PC (Debian) and it all worked out of the box. Steam may have added support now but with sc-controller and Dolphin emulator I was able to use it with no problems.

The Switch Pro Controller is expensive, no doubt about it, but it's also the best one I have tried yet. Almost as if Nintendo had used my hands as template haha. The Steam Controller is also great but it does need time to adapt to and configuration and mappings can be very time-consuming. Which, let's be honest, we don't always want/have. I still own two Xbox 360 wired controllers as well for visits but they do feel a bit outdated now.
