Lutris game manager adds support for Origin integration
24 Jan 2022 at 12:14 pm UTC

Quoting: JpxsonNice, I hope they are able to add Amazon Games some day, since that's currently not possible to use on Linux.
Would be nice. Now you have to do some fiddling to get your Prime games in the Twitch App. I wonder if there is a know api that can be used for it directly.

Lutris game manager adds support for Origin integration

I assume this is done similar to the Epic integration where it installs the Origin client in Wine. I've recently tried Origin to try and play Dragon Age Inquisition, which came with Prime. Game itself runs great, but Origin took a few restarts because it simply wouldn't complete its task. May have to give this a try since Prime also gave Star Wars Fallen Order and Squadrons. Seems like EA is trying to pull more people into Origin directly.

Quoting: tuubiDid you read the rest of the article below the image?
Yes, the rest of the article doesn't say what to do to bring up that information from the webpage, only how to configure a browser to display it.
You're right. I assume it's the blue "Learn more" button under the STEAM DECK COMPATIBILITY header, visible in the background in the top right corner of Liam's shot of the new tablet mode.
How do you find that header/button?
Do exactly what it says under the picture in the article.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIs there a way to "emulate" an Steam Deck on a Linux desktop?
Not yet. Not really anyway.

Quoting: EhvisI wonder which Mad Max was "verfied". Native standard, native vulkan-beta or proton.
Here:
https://steamdb.info/app/234140/info/ [External Link]
at the bottom of the table there is a "Steam Deck Compatibility" row with this info:
tested_build_id: 1398848
and a link pointing to the page:
https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/1398848/ [External Link]
containing other links.
This may point to what version was verified but I do not know how to track the parent repository/branch/build, can someone help?
That just points to the build of the public branch, but doesn't specify whether it is the Linux or Windows version.

That it is, but I'm not sure my eyes are liking it very much.

Quoting: scaineThis is an absolute gem, ngl. Everyone on Linux with a VR set should own it, no question. Just don't allow Ehvis into your friends list... it's depressing. :grin:
Me 48.2 hours, you 3.6 hours. I think we can see the real problem here. :tongue:

Edit: Also:

With this being one of the few native VR games, every Linux VR player should own it. But I may be slightly biased because I also love the game. :tongue:

Compared to other VR rhythm games I would say this one is less fatiguing. It also requires more practice per song because the variation is much bigger and with this game using a larger part of your field of view, you're less likely to do well based on just visual cues. To get through the songs without errors, you'll need to do a bit of learning on higher difficulties. And on "executioner" level you need god tier speed and accuracy to get top scores. :grin: That last part I still struggle with since I'm more of an either one, but not both kinda person. Plus my timing is... not great.

Escape Simulator hits over $4M in gross sales

Don't think anybody expected it to do this well. It's a pretty good game as far as escape rooms go, but I think it's the room editer/workshop support that make this game really appealing.
