If you rather download manually, you'll need to manually mark the binary primal-light-demo.x86_64 as executable before you can run it.
Takes 5 seconds and can be done with any file manager or use the terminal:
chmod +x primal-light-demo.x86_64

Quoting: furaxhornyxThere was a demo on itch.io, too bad I couldn't find how to install it...
Simple click install and play with the itch.io Linux native client, highly recommend it!

You can rotate the viewport with the mouse, scroll zoom, even Logitech F710 gamepad works for me.

Have you played Slayaway Camp? A killer-puzzle game that's genuinely good fun

Ouch, losing saves is not fun. Think of Steam Cloud as a multi-PC save syncing feature, it's not a backup solution. Backup those precious saves, people!

Slayaway Camp saves are stored in long codestrings in files charsInfo and prefs, found here:

Another day, another Intel security disaster.
It's not like people warned about this back in 2014 [External Link] or anything. :dizzy:

I'm concerned about the arctic permafrost thawing, like the Siberia tundra. That's been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years. Besides the incomprehensibly vast amount of carbon dioxide about be released, what else might be sleeping beneath the ice? :S:
(Plenty of tacky sci-fi/horror movies with that theme around.)

Looking to follow more Linux gaming sources? Here's a few you might like

A few more, mostly non-gaming. I'm mentioning these for the general purposes, things like BASH and coding can be very useful to the GoL audience even though they might not be directly gaming related.

DevOps, coding, guides, tips & tricks, things like that. Not super active uploader.

Spoiler, click me
Linux and Unix tutorial videos, ranging from basic Linux shell commands for beginners to videos plumbing the depths of the /proc filesystem, OS-virtualization, network security, and other topics for the aspiring professional System Administrator.

I started making these videos for a friend who was trying to learn the skills he needed to be a Linux sysadmin. Since then, I've expanded to cover even more topics, tools, theory, practical projects, and career advice.

I try to have a balanced mix of theory and practice, because neither extreme -- extreme theory and extreme practicality -- is useful:

- it's useless to know a bunch of commands without understanding the system underneath, and
- it's also useless to understand how everything works theoretically while being unable to apply any of that knowledge to solve real problems.
