To the Linux Index users: does the microphone of the index work for you? I mean does it produce any amplitude on the input? It's detected for me, but it doesn't record any voice. That's why I now went for an AntLion Modmic wireless...

As Space Mercs [External Link] was just released, I gave that a shot. Pretty different to Everspace, especially the steering. But cool to read that a significant amount of Linux gamers bought it.

Clicking might then not be the right expression, but I was trying to further improve my stamina and aiming skills in Beat Saber [External Link]. Gosh, this game is so good. I still need to adapt to the Index controllers (fka knuckles) though. I get many bad cuts atm, especially on the higher difficulties. Another excuse is, that I'm old already :D

Just today I learnt about Playnite... also a free and open source game library manager. But unfortunatly up to now without Linux support.

Quoting: liamdaweAlso, sorry for the delay everyone. Yesterday was my 31st birthday so I took a rare 100% day off, I'm in catch-up mode now.

Happy belated birthday also here in the forums! 31? Oh, you youngster :D
But don't stress yourself, the Linux community can handle a day without awesome news posted here.

BTT: Yep, Valve is showing what Gabe said back then: Linux is the future of gaming!

Unfortunately the Index' mic doesn't work on Linux. It's detected as mic in Alsa and PulseAudio, but you get no input signal.

Looking forward to this device as well. Also to the controllers they are shipping with it.

Quoting: x_wingEverspace has 75% of discount but I doubt that any Linux gamer that wants to call himself that way doesn't have it yet :P

Well, if you're still unsure if this game is for you, watch some streams coming up tomorrow evening and on Sunday morning (cest) and put your questions in the chat ;)

Atm I'm playing Doom 3 BFG with Proton. It's still enjoyable, though it didn't age quite well.

• Everspace - Got it in the summer sale to play in BPM but can't seem to get the hang of it with a gamepad. I'll try to get back my Steam controller and try a custom config later.

Everspace was designed for Keyboard and Mouse, it's in fact a first person shooter in space. I couldn't play it at all with a Steam Controller so far, as I'm really bad at FPS games with controller :D I can kinda cope with Everspace and the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, but Everspace on Switch has a better aim assist than on console/PC.

Nevertheless, let me know if you got a "good" custom config for Everspace.

Though I understand that devs suggest to pirate or torrent games instead of buying them on G2A... it's not legal. You won't win any case by arguing the dev allowed me on twitter to pirate the game.

Also there are probably some legal sources on G2A, where people just want to sell their unused keys. But yeah, there is also a huge amount of fraudulent keys on it, and that's what hurts the devs. I don't know how much effort it is, to implement a system that checks more or less automatically if a key is valid, but it can't be rocket science.

Heck, from a friend I know whose key got revoked he got even his money back from G2A. They want to be on the market and deliver good service, so it can't be so hard for them to make sure devs don't make a huge loss. Don't get me wrong, I know key sellers are shady and I am buying my stuff from authorized resellers. But people also want to buy games for cheap, some even can't afford anything near full price, so they are looking for cheap prices. Unfortunately they mostly end up with G2A... that's how the free market works. Is all we can do just to urge people not to buy there?

I thougth though that with all the steam, humble, gog, gamesplanet, etc. sales those keysellers would have a hard time... but looks like it still can get cheaper.
