That's a lie!
In this case, unlike the cake, it's the truth. I can confirm that even with the current version you can already crack eggs on it.

Quoting: NyamiouSeems cool, I will check it out later today but I hope it's easier to install than what I see on the github page.
There's a .deb download too. (I extracted this and manually installed the files on my not-deb system)

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLHatred isnt bad game. Look at users review on Steam. So If people did not protest against Postal, why they have to do with Hatred?
Haven't actually seen anyone protesting. The general complaint is that unlike Postal, which has a definite satirical edge to it, this is just bland and pointless.
Actually, Postal isn't satirical, or if it is, then it's completely lost on me. In fact, Postal doesn't have much story to it at all. There are some vague reference to the Earth hungering for death or some such, but basically it's just a guy running around murdering everyone with basically no storyline to speak of. It's actually almost the exact same game as Hatred. Postal 2, on the other hand, is silly and satirical.
I meant Postal as a collective franchise. Also, don't confuse "satire" with "funny".

Unity 5.3 released, hello modern OpenGL system for Linux gaming

Thanks Tak.

Also wondering (and please, no pressure, take your time with this) - do you have any 5.3 editor plans? 5.2 works really well, and I'm kinda curious if you guys have any handle on what the maintenance effort of the Linux editor might be in future.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroHow easy is it for developers to upgrade? That's my concern here.
That would depend on the project. There was a blog post [External Link] about the upgrade of Dreamfall: Chapters from 4.6 to 5.2 and all the issues they had.

In their case it was a bigger leap than, say 5.2 to 5.3, but some issues might still be the same, like having to wait for third-party components to be updated.

My only regret with Broken Age is that they finished it and released it. I could have watched many more episodes of that 2PP doccie. It was a great insight into studio dev.

Rocket League should be on Linux before the end of December

While you wait, you pull out the ol' MAME and play: Car Polo (1977)

Hollow Knight looks like exactly the type of action platformer I would play on Linux

Quoting: Avehicle7887If they didn't enforce the client to play, I would have no problem buying from Steam and using it just to download the games.
There's a list here of games on Steam not requiring Steam to play:
