Roberta, a new Steam Play compatibility tool to play games with a native ScummVM

Quoting: dreamer_Plan for ResidualVM is to add support in Roberta 0.2.0
Thanks for your excellent work on these tools! What would be a killer feature is if there was some way to import a list of appID compatibility settings into the Steam client, so that all supported games would automatically have the compatibility tool selected.

Quoting: subTelling you I bought the boxed Duke 3D when it came out
Still have mine! And possibly the mouse pad, too.

Thanks for posting this! The minimum pledge to get the game is a little higher than I would normally want to pledge, but I really enjoyed the demo, so I'm in.

Has anyone here seen the animation short from the previous Kickstarter?

Valve add additional titles to the Steam Play Whitelist

Quoting: Maweki Sam&Max hit the road? Are they really Proton-ing ScummVM instead of just using the native binary? That's amazingly stupid.
That could be fixed with luxtorpeda ;-)

For anyone who got it in the Humble Monthly bundle: you can go back and get your Steam key for it now.

The Humble Crusader Kings II Bundle seems like an amazing deal for strategy game fans

Quoting: EverLinuxI only own the base game in steam and wonder are the DLCs listed apart & can be redeemed individually?
If it's not the case, I'm afraid of a blocking from steam telling that I'm trying to add an already owned game!
I can confirm that there were separate keys for the base game and each DLC. If anybody wants a key for just the base game, and doesn't want to spend the measly $1, send me a PM, and I'm happy to share. ;-)

NVIDIA have three new Linux driver releases out today
30 Jul 2019 at 5:17 am UTC

Quoting: subI guess Luke was referring to Nvidia+Wayland.
Didn't they (Nvidia) struggled over some stream support that was refused and then reworked?
Is it supported at all by now?
No personal experience, but:

KDE 5.16 is supposed to work (new release):

RedHat added XWayland support over a year ago (dunno if it's in an official release yet):

GNOME has supported it since 3.24 (late 2016):

Quoting: MrNilssonThanks for your detailed recommendations. I put the most games on my wishlist.
If you are interested in a Steam key for Deponia: the Complete Journey (essentially the first 3 games rolled together), send me a PM.

On a side note, I wish there were an easier way to trade Steam keys; steamtrades.com seems so cumbersome. At least steamgifts.com is easy...
