Out of the Park Baseball 17 Released
21 Jul 2016 at 4:40 am UTC

An update on this game. I did buy it on sale, and promptly discovered that it wouldn't run. The culprit is Ubuntu 16.04's fault as well as the (silent?) devs'. I am able to run it an a 14.04 VM, but

I shouldn't have to do that.

I started a trouble ticket about three weeks ago, and have heard nothing at all. Another Steam user reported that he couldn't get it to run under Fedora or Arch or Ubuntu 16.04.

This from a company which has supported Linux for quite some time. :><:

Five years ago, back in my dual-boot days, I bought it, (still in my Steam library) and expect to see it appear in my Linux library Real Soon Now. Having played it, it's not really my cuppa, but I should give it another try, I suppose. Hardly a AAA game, it's still pretty unlike most everything I can think of. BBB, maybe?

Hmmm...maybe I should add a heart to my avatar? And a Steam controller?

Hmmmmm...

In my message, I asked about the drivers ;) and mentioned that I'd love to see AMD-ATI be more competitive in the Linux world. (a tiny fib, I suppose)

:whistle:

And so it begins, the Steam Summer Sale is here

The game I'm most excited about is Out Of The Park 17, which is half price at $19.95; waiting until I get my pay on the 3rd, just in time. A majority of games on sale, of course, I already have... :whistle:

I'd love to see TQ ported; I had a lot of fun with it about 10 years ago...

What are you playing this weekend?

Arch is indeed a great distro, but I'm a Ubuntu MATE loyalist (I contribute to its development) and I have found (using Manjaro) that a few games don't run under the Arch architecture, so it's Ubuntu MATE for me.

Thanks for the update screen!

Steam's Summer Sale to apparently begin on June 23rd

SO many games in my Steam library, and I still look for more :whistle: ...

Torment: Tides of Numenera delayed until 2017, partnering with a publisher

As a backer, I'm disappointed :><: . If anything was going to tear me away from Pillars of Eternity and Wasteland 2 :wub: , it was this. I do remember that Obsidian supplied the original and more to backers prior to release :woot: . Of course, Obsidian used Unity...
