Compared to my interest level, even $15 is way overpriced. I'll leave it.

Quoting: someg33zerWhat is a "JRPG"?
Japanese RPG. Or at least in the style of one.

I just noticed that you now have the Humble affiliate link on the "Support Us" page. Now I don't have to go looking through articles to find it.

Also, don't forget to take a break! You've been working exceptionally hard on the site for the past few months!

Quoting: EikeI wonder which prices people expect, considering that every VR headset contains two gaming "monitors".
I suppose people expect "value", which is a very personal thing. The current value is probably not very high due to the limited amount of use they can get out of these things. Especially for Linux users.

Quoting: g000hI've been grabbing deals on Fanatical, Humble, and chrono.gg

My latest Humble grab was "Space Grunts [External Link]"

A highly recommended Humble grab is "Slay the Spire [External Link]"

My most recent purchase is "Tower of Time" which is in a Flash Sale on chrono.gg [External Link] at 40% discount. Very good discount for a month-old release.

Now, I've reached 800+ Linux titles in my Steam collection.
Thanks for the heads up. I got Slay the Spire and lost 3.5 hours. :D

The Linux Dev Lead at Feral Interactive is moving onto something new

Quoting: EhvisI don't think porting OpenGL/Vulkan games would provide a challenge worthy of Marc! That would probably border on trivial.
This may come across as a dig at feral which is not but, The only game that has shown what Vulkan can do is Doom tbh. So yes while openGL/Vulkan may seem trivial actually doing Vulkan well seems to be a bit of an art only a few can manage.
I'm not sure you got the point. Porting OpenGL/Vulkan games is no challenge. Apart from some input/sound stuff, there's just nothing to do (yes, slight simplification, I know). Making them is a whole other story.

Valve seem to be tightening their rules on games with sexual content

Quoting: ElectricPrismThese two examples of AAA top selling games including sexual content are validation that Valve removing this content on that basis is absurd.
These things are advocated by people refusing to believe that games/movies/comics/whatever have no effect on how people behave. Because if they did, they wouldn't have anyone to blame but themselves.

Philosophical and mystical horror 'Fibrillation HD' is now on Linux
17 May 2018 at 9:32 am UTC

Quoting: liamdaweAh it's not a race though remember, I always find the times developers say are off since they know their own game, it's hard from them to imagine properly someone who doesn't know it.
Nowhere was this more true than in The Long Dark. Their 15 hours of content for the first two episodes took me 35 hours. :D
