Quoting: MohandevirJust a vague idea.. Could be nice if someone was able to create a Stadia dedicated app that uses Chromium in kiosk mode with all the tweaks... But I'm probably talking through my hat.

Already happened as an electron app. However, electron does not support extensions, which means no Stadia+.

I just had a quick look through the repos and I found this [External Link]. Nice to see DXR translation being work on.

Quoting: GuestWhen Google introduces a option to Download the games not just streaming i might consider using it.

Not sure how this would work. Since they have and use Linux builds, the option to download the game would mean nothing to the vast majority of their users. And even for us, those exact Linux builds might not work at all.

i think he is afraid of cloud lock-in, so even an windows build is better than nothing

So basically if Valve implements streaming for your Steam library, you'd have what you want. The ability to install locally for the best quality and offline play and the ability to stream when you want to. Alternatively Google could start an online store with regular builds as an added option. I think the first one is probably more likely.

Quoting: RafiLinuxWhat is required to get up and running with Stadia for this? I do not own credit cards and I don't put my payment information online. Can I sign up with a gift card that some $ on it?

Nothing actually. I never gave any payment information and have never given any to Google in the past either.

Gave stadia a quick check yesterday. Still a completely subpar experience for me, so I'm not even interested in trying the free stuff any more.

Edit: I find it somewhat amusing that so many UE4 games are making it to Stadia. Even though we know that the Vulkan (and all other non-DX11 renderers) are not exactly great performers. If Stadia would become bigger, they (whoever "they" may be) might actually be inclined to change that.

Takes a bit of practice. Ordering the robot around is a multi-tasking task I'm not quite used to. I just had it chop or mine while doing everything else myself because I forgot about it. Left me with a lot of space and a less than impressive score. :D

Is anybody really waiting to pollute their game with social media? Even if it is llama themed.

Quoting: PatolaI think that video was very nice, but they could have also told something about jumping and platforming in VR.

Jumping in VR is a highly weird experience since it gives you the biggest disconnect between your "senses" of movement and what you see. I'd wager that most people have to take a long break if they had to do a whole sequence of platforming jumps. That's one thing I would always leave on teleport.

Quoting: KohriasIt is quite interesting that there is so much talk about Lutris (and rightfully so) and very little about GameHub. Any ideas why? Does GameHub have any shortcomings or was Lutris just faster/better with the integration of wine/dxvk?

Lutris manages and provides different wine builds. That's a pretty major thing that I don't thing GameHub has at the moment.
