SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech has a free update with a New Game Plus mode
8 Aug 2019 at 2:29 pm UTC

Good news! After finishing the game some weeks ago, It was very nice but I was kind of frustrated to not be able to buy all items and cards in my game. So until now I was farming to get the full set (items, upgrades...) in Legend difficulty.
So for sure, I will play this NG+!

Edit: I checked, the update is not available on GOG yet for the Linux build.

Oh I don't think it was available on itch last time I checked, thanks!

I don't think radv implemented external framerate limiting yet. How do you do it?
Maybe with libstrangle [External Link]?

CoreCtrl, a new FOSS Linux tool to help you control your PC with application profiles

I just noticed this as well! I love the AUR community.

But, I tried it and somehow after starting it and entering my root nothing happened. So I got a bit scared and uninstalled asap. The idea of giving root and then nothing happening is scary.

I understand it needs root to change stuff hardware wise, but still...
Works fine apparently on my side, but that's because it launched on the system-tray, did you look at it?

Quoting: heidi.wengerI refuse of it too... It's time consuming, stressful and altogether just awful! If i can't have a truly simple way to install something then it's "oh well" and move on. Really.
That's totally fine, there is no need to rush to use unpackaged tools. Eventually distro maintainers will package it, if they'll find it interesting, or someone asks them to. But it can take a long time in my experience, unless something becomes quite popular.
And That's why I find the AUR quite useful! And maybe that's why it's more easy for my point of view than on other distributions.

Quoting: belisamaBecause it's a time-consuming, finicky process that frequently results in the urge to pull one's hair out. And if you're on one of the more popular distro trees (like Debian), you rarely need to, because most programs put out a deb or a ppa or something.
Yeah "most of programs" but not all, and sometimes you have to do it to have the last update or something.
I agree about time-consuming for some heavy software that can take many hours to build, but I don't really understand the behavior of never want to do it.
For this case, CoreCtrl, with my 4 cores CPU it's just so fast.

For CoreCtrl maybe we'll see binary builds later, right now I've got an error after compilation I'll retry later.
See!
Right after I wrote this, the compilation succeed. ^_^
Now I have to test the program itself...

Quoting: GuestNice idea but requiring the user to build from source is an instant turn off for me. Just package it up in one of the universal formats and distribute it properly. I'm not installing anything I have to build myself
Seriously? You never install a software directly from source? I mean, you never have to do it?
Why you refuse to do it, serious question, because it's not really the philosophy of a Linux system IMHO, you can install any software you want from source or from binary, but refuse to do it from source makes me confused.

For CoreCtrl maybe we'll see binary builds later, right now I've got an error after compilation I'll retry later.
