Beep boop the Feral Interactive port radar has a UFO sighting for a new Linux port
31 May 2018 at 8:16 pm UTC Likes: 2

Quoting: BeamboomIt's almost guaranteed not to be Agony [External Link]. Why? Cause it is SLAYED by the reviews. Feral has, as far as I can recall, never ported a game with really bad reviews apart from the first F1 title (F1 2015). Apart from that one title it's been top shelf titles throughout the entire catalogue.

So no way they'll touch a game with a metascore of below 50. Nope.
Dawn of War 3

You can now pre-order the Linux-powered Atari VCS games console, a lot more details revealed

We know being a Linux gamer is hard enough already, so this is something we're very happy to finally deliver.
That is not true at all , this message sounds like there are just bunch Tuxkart'ish games out there for Linux. Sure , we don't have all games but that statement is just silly.

SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics now officially supports Linux with a big update & price drop

Quoting: KithopHuh. Even after uninstalling & reinstalling it, and using the Verify Integrity of Files thing, I'm not getting anything beyond the raw ROMs and manuals it seems. No front-end or anything, and of course it launches with an error to that effect. I'll give it another couple days and try again, maybe.

Steam's Spring Cleaning Event has multiple Linux titles to play for free for a limited time

Quoting: EikeUnfortunately, their badge tasks are not platform filtered...
I use a Python script which emulates playing a game for getting Steam cards drop. Create file run_app_id.py containing this:
#!/usr/bin/python2
import os
import time
from ctypes import CDLL
import sys
steam_api = CDLL('./libsteam_api64.so')
str_app_id = sys.argv[1]
os.environ["SteamAppId"] = str_app_id
steam_api.SteamAPI_Init()
time.sleep(9999999999999)

Then copy libsteam_api64.so from the Steam folder next to that file and run it in the terminal with "./run_app_id.py xxxxxx" (where xxxxxx is AppID of a desired game). With that, all tasks can be done in a minute.
There isn't a libsteam_api64.so on my .steam folder though.

Quoting: stretch611Anyone know how long you need to play in order to qualify for the trophies?
1 or 2 minutes. Maybe even logging in and off would be sufficient.

So , i screwed a little bit.

In their badge process quests , one of the section contains two Windows only games which when i was on Windows added , some shitty games.

So as a workaround i permanently removed them from my account but they're still staying here as suitable ones.

Maybe i should raise an issue on Steam Github to fix this or DM'ing to Plagman on Twitter. :P

vkd3d for Direct3D 12 to Vulkan in Wine has released the first stable version

Quoting: pete910
Quoting: ShmerlHopefully Wine developers can also explain to Khronos how they need to use stream output (transform feedback ) with Vulkan in vkd3d.

So far no one answered their last question here [External Link].
How would this help perf/what games would need this?
Witcher 3 needs this afaik

There's hints of the 'SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics' pack coming to Linux
23 May 2018 at 9:45 am UTC

DosBox , nothing to surpise really.

Actual surprising part is , why they added these so late?

I hope you like Anime & Manga styled games, as GOG just added 10 with Linux support

Quoting: LeopardSo , i'm not a VN gamer guy but i tried that free one ( Sunrider ) to see how it is sexual by Valve means.

So far , there is 0 sexual drawings etc. What was the deal then?
The free version probably doesn't have anything. the other 2 have 18+ patches you can download from the official site.
No , i think i found it but didn't try it.

So games like these not contain these on their market forms by default and this adult content is opt-in?

Well , it is just seemed like modding to me.
