I watched the video (without sound) and I have no idea what I just saw. So definitely different.

I picked up Dicey Dungeons. Only played the first "show", but it is good fun. And picked up the Puppygames Ultrabundle because I will have to try Basingstoke at some point. And a few more that I don't quite remember :D
What have you been playing on Linux? Come and have a chat

I like into the breach. There's one issue though. I got my "Victory" achievement in one game and two hours of play because the game "lets" you. Now I need to find a reason to play it again to see what more the game has to offer, but so far I haven't done that. The whole "you can go to end game any time you want" thing hasn't been helpful to keep me in the game.

QuoteOnto the subject of gaming on Linux: honestly, the majority of my personal game time has been taken up by Into the Breach. It's so gorgeously streamlined, accessible, fun and it's also ridiculously complex at the same time. Tiny maps that require a huge amount of forward thinking, as you weigh up each movement decision against any possible downsides. It's like playing chess, only with big mecha fighting off aliens trying to take down buildings.

2080 should be fine, especially for Alyx. Key is turn switch back to legacy reprojection and keep the headset at 80 or 90 Hz. You might get a frameskip here and there, but nothing jarring. "Normal" reprojection is so broken on nvidia that it's unusable and makes it look like the performance is low.

Quoting: yokem55Been tweaking and tuning my system for VR. Built a liquourix/zen kernel for my gentoo install and tried some different power management approaches, but my 2080 and the nVidia drivers really don't cut it for VR on linux. It would mostly be okay if I ran the index at 90 hz and really cut down settings in HL:Alyx, but it would still cause nausea inducing stutters fairly frequently.

No. You could use the 20% until you paused. After that it was gone until the new month started.

Quoting: spjoeBasingstoke and Earthlock have no Linux icon. Do these games officially support Linux?

Purism reveal their powerful privacy-focused Librem 14 laptop

You're paying quite the premium for those privacy features though. Did a quick check on what it would cost to have it "here" (including VAT and such), it would be about 40% more expensive than a locally available laptop of similar specs. For that difference I would sort out my own privacy settings.
Kerbal Space Program 'Shared Horizons' is out with ESA missions and comets

I have looked at mods to make things a bit more realistic in term of size and physics. I was hoping to find a mod that would replace the two body physics implementation with a three body one so that all those stable orbits wouldn't be so stable any more. But since it would still be "Kerbal physics", it seemed like a good idea to first see how that worked.

Whoa, you will probably love the Ferram Aerospace Research mod (the author is no longer active, but there's a fork for recent KSP versions).

So what you really want to say is that you want to play and not write about it. But really, we all have to work on our birthdays, can't leave us in the dark!

Quoting: Liam DaweAlso as a note: since July 30 is my birthday our thoughts on it may be delayed ;)
