First question: why are all the car doors opening all the time? :huh:

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.

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 ;-)

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. ;-)

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?

GNOME has supported it since 3.24 (late 2016):
