I've cancelled that Patreon now and set a donation up on their own "platform", which is actually just a front-end to a recurring Paypal payment. But doing so gave me the opportunity to double my contribution, so that's something!
That stat above though? It doesn't appear to be changing very regularly as it hasn't moved today at all. Hopefully they'll update it again in a day or so.

Quoting: CatKillerHuh, so I didn't realise that they'd started their own funding platform, which explains why the patreon contributions are in decline. They're still making $10K/month on Patreon too, but it's on the way down, definitely. I was contributing there and must have missed their announcement that they were setting up on their own. Link is here if you're interested: https://fund.godotengine.org [External Link].Quoting: MayeulCI also hope that the studios that complained start donating to Godot, at least a token amount.

Heretic's Fork is an unholy blending of deck-building and tower defense

Seriously, this is an unbelievably addictive take on the horde-survival genre. And I love the "desktop" environment, complete with silly mini-games and applications to distract you between runs. Great fun. Brilliant presentation on the whole thing.

Heretic's Fork also has leaderboards to let you see how you stack up against your friends. So GamingOnLinux contributor Scaine doesn't know it yet, but we're now officially locked in a battle for who can punish the most sinners. Even if it takes me all night, I will take the crown.I just wish you'd stop sending me hate-messages on the Steam chat! :grin:

Good god! Hardly anyone knows about Slap Fight, what a game! I could make 20p last an hour in the 80's on this. But the cabinet was right next to 720° so there was always that temptation. And Twin Eagle at the back with it's rendered-looking graphics and metal sound track. Good times.

Quoting: StalePopcornGood news for HDR support, very confusing, given the 'NVAPI' naming yet requiring an AMD GPU :dizzy: I'm hoping that HDR is widespread on Linux by this time next year.Just to be clear, this project is Nvidia only. But you're right that its release notes point out that HDR is currently AMD only. Welcome to the clear-as-mud world of Linux graphics stacks!

Getting a great Invisible Inc vibe from this, with the vision comes and knockouts. I'll wishlist for sure.
Edit: Aaaaaand... it was already on my wishlist, from 1st Aug. I honestly don't remember seeing it though. Maybe it was a demo that caught my eye during one of the next fest seasons.

Titanfall 2 has a player surge with a huge sale, great on Steam Deck & desktop Linux

It's superb. Genuinely amongst the greatest FPS single player campaigns of all time. Fun story, lovely (if underused) time mechanics, epic gunplay, big mechs, cracking graphics, smooth (and huge) level design, excellent voice acting, wall running/parkour. It's just a winner in every way. I wouldn't touch the multiplayer personally, but apparently it's pretty top drawer too.
For £2.50 and the inconvenience of creating a linked account? I buckled like a cheap belt.

Quoting: benstor214"Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: EA on-line activation and Origin client software installation and background use required"I hear you. I own like 3 EA titles and zero Ubiplay... but if you don't pick this masterpiece up for £2.50, you're missing out.
"Requires 3rd-Party Account: EA Account (Supports Linking to Steam Account)"
"Requires agreement to a 3rd-party EULA Titanfall® 2 EULA"
"EA Play subscription requires acceptance of EA Play Terms"
Nah, I'll pass

I'd be happy to throw some money his way, but he only accepts donations through GitHub sadly. I'll always love the guy for Salt and Sanctuary, but not enough to make a Microsoft account.
Half-Life Alyx NoVR mod to get a huge upgrade in October

Everything is so much more manageable when it's not VR.
But, yep, it's a great story, with some great moments, even if you miss out on the visceral nature of experiencing them in VR.
Cos, your right, it's a CRAZY amount of money to spend if you're not completely blown away by the idea of it.

Quoting: TimeFreezeAnd thanks to the mod i have already experienced the game and its glorious.At the risk of repeating all the arguments from the first article on this, I think the argument here is that if you've only played this mod, then you really haven't "experienced" it. You're missing the panic of not being to reload your gun as a zombie slowly shuffles towards you. Or the terror when the lights go out and only your torch can light up the attacking spiders, but it's attached to your gun and your hands are shaking, making it impossible to aim. Or the sheer physical presence of Jeff.

Got them all too, but won't be buying this one, as the genre holds zero appeal to me. But hey, if that's reflected as poorer sales due to lack of Linux support, then that's fine by me!
