A Little Less Desperation, a point & click adventure game in a comedic sci-fi setting is heading to Linux

Looks cute. Though episodic releases is a somewhat risky thing. I.e. the project can halt somewhere in the middle.

Good! Surprisingly, newly released Limbo didn't get the Linux version on GOG.

I think they already work well. And if you get a high performance card like upcoming Vega, it will be enough. When threading will be added to radenosi, CPU bottlenecked scenarios will improve as well. So far OpenGL is already in good shape and improving. But Vulkan isn't spec complete yet.

Also, Nvidia will drag their feet with Wayland support and this whole eglstreams / no eglstreams debacle, so it's another reason for me to switch.

I'm using Nvidia now, but I'm getting an AMD card as soon as Vega chips will come out.

Tyranny, the massive new RPG from Obsidian Entertainment releases today day-1 on Linux, our review

Quoting: m2mg2
Quoting: ShmerlSo far no response about the XFS bug.
I'd like to see Linux sales statistics for games like this that had day one Linux support.

That would be interesting yes, but GOG doesn't publish them, and I didn't see any such numbers from Obsidian either.

Great! :)
Is there a way to post content to diaspora from PHP?

I suppose it should be possible. Diaspora* has various bookmarklets for posting. You can probably reproduce it from PHP.

Thanks. I'm using diaspora* for a while, and so far it's the most developed option.

Quoting: soulsourceDetails are available in the answers to the bug report [External Link].

Yeah, I've heard about this nasty bug. Did anyone actually report it to Larian? When are they going to fix it?

If not, please open a bug report thread on their forum and point to the freedesktop bugzilla.
