The Cities: Skylines - Colossal Collection Bundle is up and an awesome deal

Does anyone know how "Native" this "Native Linux" bundle is? The last time I bought something from Humble it was just a bunch of Steam keys, and I was disappointed by that.

Quoting: mrdeathjrFor now in my case stay runs ok

My game now has two listings for every ride that can be built. Do you happen to know why that is? It's annoying me to see two of everything when building a pre-designed ride

Just a heads up for those new to Fanatical. These are strictly Steam keys, not keys to unlock direct downloads.

Quoting: tuubiIn addition to the newsletter thing, there's the additional catch that they require you to Link your Steam account.
So if I don't use a Steam account, should I not even bother ?

Quoting: ShmerlA pity the author pulled itch.io release because of IPv4 NAT problems that he solves by using Steam-only service.

The game was quite fun.
Thanks for your comment. This is what I came to find out. It is a bit unfortunate.

I feel the title would be better fit as "best Linux distros for Steam in 2020".

Direct3D 12 to Vulkan translation layer VKD3D-Proton version 2.1 is out
14 Dec 2020 at 4:01 pm UTC

Does VKD3D-Proton only work with Steam Play, or is it possible to install and use it for GOG direct downloads? I seem to read conflicting reports, some stating that it's a layer that works in tandem with Steam Play.

Meet the Raspberry Pi 400, a complete setup inside a tiny keyboard

Quoting: LinasAlso it's not like any of us will be traveling anywhere anytime soon... :unsure:
I think it mostly depends on where you live. I have spent most of this year traveling for work, and a cheap (like $15) wireless keyboard work great when I just need to do something quickly. Though Hotel televisions are absolutely horrible with those bolted one control boxes that override the TV accessibility. I am lucky enough to have a personal phone with an IR blaster, allowing me to unplug that box and regain control of the television.

I'm not really sure how this setup beats a wireless keyboard though. especially one with a built in touchpad ($20). As usual, it will be interesting to see what people do with it.

Quoting: lucinossteam code only. When there is drm-free download they say so.
Thanks for that tidbit. I got burned in the past and guess I just never noticed the DRM-Free icon.
