Quoting: Klaas
Quoting: scaineI purchased on Itch, and noticed recently that it wouldn't start on that platform.
What is the problem? I haven't noticed anything. Do you use the client?

The error message I'm getting (just bought it on itch today) is something to do with not finding lime: "Could not load module lime@lime_application_create__prime". I tried running it through the itch app and running directly from the command line (same files, not the separate download). Based off of the bug report section of the dicey discord, there are at least a few other people with the same issue.

Among the Sleep has been on my wishlist for a while, no excuse now I guess :-)

An updated Steam Client is out, should be more responsive when downloading

Quoting: Leeo97oneThis sounds great, but the issue with the "Configuration Support" for controllers is still a bit annoying, makes the feature itself useless and some controllers like the Nintendo Switch Pro unusable.
For whatever reason, this stopped being a problem for me recently for my wired xbone controllers and I can make configurations for them now. I can finally do 4 players with controllers in Crawl and it is awesome!

How to enable Steam Play (Proton) directly in SteamOS

There's been an open issue since August requesting a setting in BPM for Steam Play/Proton configurations. There's also a workaround in the comments that helps people like me who have problems loading the desktop client by editing the configuration file directly.

Damsel, the fast-paced action platformer with comic-like story-telling is worth a look

I just started testing it this weekend and it seems fairly fun. It has a very arcade-like feel to me: kind of repetitive, but you know what you're getting into from the very beginning level. I didn't have any problems with my steam controller on SteamOS beta, I just set it to the generic gamepad template and I was good to go, other than the UI prompts all being for keyboard controls.

Double Fine release the first official Psychonauts 2 trailer

It might be nostalgia that's making me biased, but except for maybe for maybe one level near the end, it's still very fun to play (first played it when it was initially released on Windows). And for that level, I created a steam controller configuration that exploits the levitation power so you can basically float up indefinitely to help avoid the some precarious platforming falls.

The steam controller works great

I finished playing Little Bug, a fun platformer with grappling as its main mechanic. Figured out a fun but not very useful exploit of the physics in the game where you can slingshot the character into the air for minutes at a time; unfortunately, it's hard to predict where you're going to land so it's more for amusement than anything.

I also just started playing Rumu, which recently released a Linux version. It's fun so far and runs great, although it has some problems detecting the buttons on the Steam Controller properly.

Adventure platformer 'Little Bug' released and it's really something special

They put out a couple small updates this weekend that fix some bugs and get rid of the opening dialog box (I requested it earlier on the steam forums). I had the same problem with the steam controller's right pad sensitivity; I had to switch to a Xbox 360 controller for the last part of the game for precision's sake

Valve have released some interesting statistics about controller use

I primarily use 2 steam controllers and have 2 Xbox 360's when we're playing more than 2 players. There are games where the right pad works fine (1st and 3rd person games like Doom and Tombraider), but it's harder to use in 2D games that require precision with a right analog stick. Could be I'm just not programming it correctly.
