An update on the GOL Podcast, we need help
5 Jul 2016 at 9:54 am UTC

So is there a thread or IRC that you guys chat in? And when is the next episode; this Saturday or next?

I don't mean to spam the comments, though I'm admittedly excited about this podcast business :D (although it's perfectly fine if I'm not selected as a co-host ^_^)

It'd probably help if there were some discussion prior gathering some topics, and setting a target end time.

Having a decent commute to work, I frequently enjoy a few podcasts (Jim Sterling's Podquisition atm). The structure I've seen them follow on average is:

1. Introduction
2. Topics
3. Listener questions
4. Sign off/Plugging (e.g. "you can find me at X doing Y)

I'd be interested in hosting :) And the timing would be good, since that would be 5pm in my state. I'm no Cheese, but I've studied some game design, and have plenty of games and contentious opinions :P

Though I don't know if I'd be up for a 4 hour session, 2-3 hours would probably be my limit ^^;

Does everyone record their audio seperately?

Salt and Sanctuary, a stylish 2D action RPG is now in Beta for Linux gamers
8 Jun 2016 at 6:59 am UTC

Quoting: tuubiI have total confidence in Mr. Lee's porting skills, and this seems like something I might enjoy. Won't buy a beta but I'll keep a close eye on the game.

Quoting: HadBabitsI do have a bug (which I reported!) where setting the game in borderless or windowed makes a small window that's cropped. However, Flibit doesn't seem to have this issue, so it could be something specific to my set up? :huh:
Something to do with your window manager, seeing as the problem is related to windowing? Maybe install and test with one of the light alternatives like xfwm, awesome or one of the *boxes?
Turned out to be a weird edge-case bug with FNA, has now been patched :)

No problems in-game so far ^^ Rough around the edges, but seems like a solid game; hopefully it can keep me distracted for a bit while I try to resist picking up Dark Souls 3 for PS4 until it goes on sale :P

Like getting scared? Some Horror games you have to check out on Linux & SteamOS

Outlast and Alien made me too tense to press on :B

I really enjoyed SOMA, even in the monster chases felt a bit token and unnecessary. And, as Yahtzee points out, it can be quite obnoxious to both have to avoid looking at a monster whilst also watching for it. The first one I didn't mind so much because it was noisy and had lights to give you an idea of where it was.

That said, I mainly loved the story, and playing The Talos Principle right after put me in a great mood for navel gazing :P

PFFFT, "flibitIsBadAtSoulsGames", this guy XD (Do read the post before buying though :U). Will buy :D

Quoting: eloHuh, where do I enter the password? Do I have to buy it to beta test? o:
Yep, you'll have to buy it. If you wish to do so, get the password from the post, and there's also a guide within to enter the beta :)

Rocket League for Linux & SteamOS getting close to a release window finally
4 Jun 2016 at 8:59 pm UTC

Quoting: kingofrodeoAccording to SteamDB, the game has approximately 3.4 million owners, of which 1/3 were active in the last 2 weeks.
Also, 24k are playing right now, and the average daily peak is 40k.
So yeah, bring it on.
Keep in mind that there's also cross play with PS4 players c: Meanwhile the Xbone kids can only play with each other XD

^Ditto :Y

And I'm glad GOG are aiding me in backing up my games after I got too lazy and complacent to check if Humble had a copy of every game that caught my eye on the Steam front o3o

Salt and Sanctuary, a haunting 2D action RPG looks like it could come to Linux

Hmm, looks fun, and I do love me some Dark Soulsian action :) Though, something about the protagonist designs seem a bit too cartoony to me? 0.o

Edit: Upon closer inspection it's really just their faces that put me off. Looks almost kind of anime? And despite some character showing some facial stubble they all look 12 o3o

Edit²: Woah, on even closer inspection they've got really weird eyes and no nose 0.0
