Gimme gimme gimme!

(and if they meet their deadline, nicely on time for my holiday)

Another big SteamVR update is out now, with plenty of Linux fixes for VR enthusiasts

By default, SteamVR will now select the correct audio input and output devices that actually belong to the active VR HMD.
Does this actually work for anybody on Linux? It sure doesn't for me. Also, the volume setting in the SteamVR overlay doesn't work for me when I manually switch the audio over.

Overall the experience seems a bit smoother. Still vsync issues with gsync enabled (on the main monitor) and reprojection is still a mess for me.

All in all this beta sequence has been messy. A lot of temporary were introduced that had to be fixed in the next release. The ghost windows being least bad. Having the actual VR overlay corrupted was particularly bad. I hope they'll be a little more careful going forward.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition released with Linux support

Not much difference in the benchmarks between medium and highest.

Although it doesn't matter for this game, I find it interesting that Feral used DX12 as a base for this port. Which means they developed new tech for this one. That should calm some nerves of those wondering what Feral has planned for the future.

Quoting: GuestI was a bit worried about the kickstarter but i am not familiar with their dynamics. They were short for their last day.
It fairly normal for KS projects to have a steep start, then flatten and spike back up near the end. But the end rush on this one was exceptionally steep.

Worms have invaded Golf With Your Friends with a big new 18 hole course

I've had this game from the early days. Pretty good fun, especially for the price (9 courses of 18 holes now). A few minor glitches on Linux, but nothing too major. It's especially hilarious when you start doing simultaneous multiplayer with large groups and weird modifiers. :)

Just played trough the worms course. Great fun, especially with the explosive barrels.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York shows off some gameplay, releasing December 4

Last night, you have become a vampire
Now, I'm not a native speaker, but do the tenses of that sentence check out? Seems odd to me.
It's present perfect, in this case indicating "an action that happened in the past and continuing in the present". Become is an irregular verb, so it's "you have become".
That still sounds wrong because the "becoming" part ended a moment later.

Survival Vacancy looks like a mix of Factorio and Terraria and it's now in Early Access

A mix between Factorio and Terraria? Who would play something like that. Enough now, my factory could be a better. Gotta optimise!

(also, also has some Oxygen Not Included in there)
