Quoting: SamsaiSo, Pyre won nothing? This is absolutely unacceptable and I will thusly dedicate a segment of the next Friday Livestream to a special Pyre of the Year awards where Pyre wins all the categories. :P

Quoting: tumocsHave they finally allowed unlocking stuff in local multiplayer? Since I'd never play it online but not unlocking shit turned me off from the local too.
Anyone? It's the only defect I found in this game really.
From what I've seen on steam forums you can only unlock stuff in online games.

One issue I found is that on my laptop it fails to recognize any controllers because it thinks my touchpad is a controller (an unknown one). This is a touchpad using the psmouse driver. This is not the only game with this issue, I had it with at least another one. I suspect they use some sort of heuristic to detect gamepads. If someone knows how to fix this, short of unloading the psmouse module, please let me know.

The 'JA2-Stracciatella' game engine for Jagged Alliance 2 has a new major release

I had no serious problems to play JA2 + 1.13 through wine, but it's always nice if engines get redone. They should really clear up the license situation though.

Hollow Knight’s new free content pack arrives on Linux

GOG is sadly behind on patches, so it's not out there just yet. Same for the latest patch for Darkest Dungeon. I do wonder what sort of QA they do or whether it is just formal BS.

The wayland part is what I don't get at all. Is wayland this broken still?

Quoting: KuromiLately it seems that GOG putting little more efforts in Linux on GOG. Bunch of new releases (like Dungeons 3), some old ports finally arrived too.
Which old ports arrived?
Dust earlier this year, Tiny and big just several weeks ago. Yeah, not much, but....
Oh I'm glad Dust finally arrived (what was it seven years late?). Never heard of Tiny and Big. Better than nothing indeed...
