MXGP3 - The Official Motocross Videogame, some thoughts on the Linux version
27 Nov 2018 at 5:37 pm UTC Likes: 1

Why even allow anymore wrapped games to have Linux stamp with them? At least on Steam either do a native version or just leave it for Proton. Im not so technical so im not so sure about the wrapping thing, but i think it's like WINE or something like that?

Just my common sense tells me that it's stupid.

The Atari VCS team put out a post to talk about the Linux OS along with an open source project teaser

If it is USB 3 that shouldn't be a problem.
Depends on the USB. USB is not really designed to be running OS. It usually works quite bad from my experience.
To me it seems dumb.

I really don't get the need to protect the internal storage? Rather just make a warranty void if OS swapped. Make a physical fuse to pop if OS changed and make it not affect the machine, just make it to see if the internal storage has been tampered. Simple as that. USB for OS is not a good idea.

I really don't expect anything from this device, but maybe for the right price it could be a decent product? I truly doubt it though.

E: Saw the price. Yeah... Not worth it.

Well. I hope that people get their money back. If not then they can only blame themselves as you should never put your money in advance to something that is not finished. If the people don't get their money back, then i can always remember to not buy anything from Snapshot Games.

Nightdive are having issues with the Wine-bundled Linux build of System Shock 2

It works for me after fiddling. I just think it's ridiculous to have a wine game in the store and advertise that as Linux. It's bullshit and think that it only gives Nightdive worse reputation. Kind of a dumb move from them from the beginning if you ask me.

Popular retro-inspired FPS DUSK still coming to Linux, due sometime next year

I really hope the port is good then. I really want to play Dusk and Amid Evil. Those plus Ion Maiden are the games i wait for most.

Feral show off Total War: WARHAMMER II on Linux, along with confirming more Linux ports and a Vulkan teaser

Hitman would deserve a Vulkan version. Now it runs kind of bad sadly.

Dota 2 has a new hero called Grimstroke available now, another called Mars coming later

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLPrevious heroes were not new. They came from Dota 1 (warcraft3 mod). So, by nature for example Wraith King is male not female because this hero is from dota1. So thats why Icefrog did not turn it into Wrait Queen... because this is the story of the game - the story does not change.

Only new heroes were invented from scratch - from Monkey King.

"Monkey King is the first original hero made for Dota 2. All previous heroes were ported from DotA."
It should have been Monkey Queen. Just for seeing people acting as kids because somebody turned Sun Wukong into a girl, muh masculine feelings!
Your profile picture says it all. :)
Damn. I lowered myself to that level.

Some games have more males some more females. Big deal.
