Valve have released the CAD files for the Index VR system, enabling some fun modding

Had a quick look at the cad files. The parts in there are only those shown in the picture, so it's not a complete model of the whole thing. Still useful to create your own foam pieces or to design something for the space with the USB connector in the front.

On casual inspection that looks like a lot of fun. Will have to check it out. If Sin gives me a chance to do so. :whistle:

This almost sounds too silly to be true. Of course there is the "don't attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence" idea, but you do have to wonder whether there may be an ulterior motive here. Possible they just want to get on with new stuff and not spend time fixing horrible broken old code for a game that won't generate much in sales from this point.

Humble Store is doing a "DRM-Freedom" sale, GOG also has multiple themed sales going

Quoting: torhamWould buy Gang Beasts but not sure it's actually DRM-Free despite being part of a DRM-Free sale.
It is clearly stated that it's available as a DRM free download.

It’s a tough time to be an indie developer, with Steam’s new sale event causing wishlist deletions

It was probably easy to predict that this would have an effect. I personally wouldn't start deleting stuff from my wishlist because the chance of winning something is just too small to worry about. But if Steam wanted to prevent that, they should have made it a random pick from the wishlist before the sale started so that any changes wouldn't have an effect. Probably a relatively small effort on their part.

Anyway, it being the top three was already a good solution of they actually made that very clear. Which they obviously haven't because I thought I read it properly and I still missed it.

Edit: On a practical note they seem to have butchered the team selection a bit. Looks like everybody (that is not me) is automatically selecting the top team.

ZED from Eagre Games and Cyan Ventures is out for Linux now, it’s quite an experience (plus an interview)

But from the Steam discussions a big question remains for me. Can I rebind the WASD (and other keys) to something that actually works for me?

Quoting: KohlyKohlWhen you pick a few heroes you want and they never show up again, that is a big issue in my opinion.
You can also say that you failed to plan for alternatives. Since the sell price of one star heroes is the same as the purchase price, you can store stock a few alternatives.

So apparently there are people that managed to get beyond the bad gateway.

Insurgency: Sandstorm for Linux not due until next year, with a beta likely first

From what I picked up on Discord, the game works fine in Proton as long as you join servers without EAC protection.

And I don't see EAC working in Wine/Proton. If they actually managed to get a properly configured EAC to work with Wine, I'm sure that EAC will be changed so that it won't. Not as a spiteful act, but because it means that EAC failed in its primary objective.
