Ohhhh Yeeaahhhh!
I'm going to buy this as soon as it's released for linux... If one company can deliver an experience I was hoping for with the new uprising of VR, it sure is Valve.
I can't wait...
.... I have to watch the trailer agein :D

Wow... this looks fantastic! I'm not a big fan of stealth games, but I think I need to try out the level-editor and see how far I can stretch the gameplay... Anyway, I love the project... really an outstanding FOSS-project! Great Work!

Thanks for supporting linux!

The beat 'em up Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans left Early Access recently
10 May 2018 at 9:20 pm UTC

Bud Spencer and Terence Hill - Movies were a big part of my childhood and still are a big part of my adult live.
Just a week ago I re-watched "Man of the East" (only Terence Hill in this one... also not exactly the type of movie this game is about...) and was filled with joy... just like in the 80s!
And early this year I re-watched "The 5 man army" with Bud Spencer (completely different to the movies the game is based on... very dark and almost no humor) ... and it was the best movie I have watched in years.

2nd generation AMD Ryzen desktop processors now available to pre-order

Quoting: ArehandoroCould someone please explain me in plain English why the difference in W from the normal models to the X ones? From my ignorant point of view 30/40 extra Watios per model to get an extra boost of 0.2Ghz doesn't make sense at all, specially in the bill, unless there is something else to them?
TDP (Thermal Design Power) is not the amount of Watts its taking in, it's the thermal loss you have to get rid of by cooling. And as the TDP will rise exponential to the clock speed (I think... don't quote me on that... ;) ...), it explains the big steps in Watt.

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is now officially out with day-1 Linux support
28 Mar 2018 at 6:39 pm UTC

Such a great game... I own a few copies of the original one nowadays... but instantly bought the EE yesterday on steam.
A few bugs should be mentioned for interested linuxers, though:

-Fullscreen has to be done by the window-manager (rightclick on the window-titlebar and choose fullscreen)
-moving the mouse to the edges of the window or screen doesn't rotate the camera, which sucks and is maybe linked to the fullscreen issue
-the mouse-offset for scaled UI is also bad if you want to use anything higher then 1920x1080 (its pretty unplayable with scaled ui... works normal with unscaled, if its big enough for you to read (menues are about half the height of my monitor which is 1920x1080))

(I know some of this is posted above... just wanted to summarise it...)
It seems Beamdog is traing to fix the issues afaik...
Anyone here, who doesn't have all of the above on linux?

Cel-shaded third-person shooter 'Crazy Justice' will have a Battle Royale mode and Linux support

Looks really cool.... Will buy! (...if it's released for linux roughly at the same time as other platforms)

MMO 'Project: Gorgon' released in Early Access with day-1 Linux support
13 Mar 2018 at 9:00 pm UTC

Hmmm... I think I will try it out. I was searching for a PVE-based MMORPG on linux for years now. The reviews on Youtube sound rather good actually. (Great depth, real puzzles and exploration, which is, in my opinion, way more important than graphics...)

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition release date announced for March 27th, day-1 Linux support
10 Mar 2018 at 8:37 pm UTC

Ouhh.. it's indeed a shame, that the linux-version will be without toolset. I absolutely loved the game back in the days... but without the toolset I will wait for a sale, I think. Would have been an instabuy otherwise...
