DragonRuby Game Toolkit, a cross-platform way to make games with Ruby

Quoting: DerpFoxI personally love Ruby, way more that Python for exemple. But compared to python it look like its in a semi state of abandonment. Most of the Gems have not been update in years. And the final blow is RoR that have stained Ruby reputation, every single devs I know despise RoR and each time Ruby is mentioned they push it away because of RoR.While Python is more used since it's very similar to shell script, Ruby Sadly isn't used very often because RoR and because most developers have difficulty to use a fully OO language I think.
Compared to the very lively Python community Ruby look in a very sad state.

Ruby... the most criminally underrated programming language in the market. Very nice to see a project like that, hope they can also add 3d support in a near future.

Quoting: EikeSeparate games through personal categories would be great too, Like FPS, Native games, etc.What would you like to see improved next in the Steam Client?Tagging, tagging and tagging.
I cannot possibly be the only one who want to use these multidimensionally, like
* played through / given up / unplayed / give a second chance
* gift / advertising gift
* genre
* co-op / couch co-op / solo / online competetive
* ...

Quoting: EMO GANGSTERbut at least only 6 months rather than a year.Either way, since the Steam Machines hype is gone, I really doubt they will spent in another port for linux.

Nice news. Unfortunately since Borderlands 3 will be Epic Store exclusive, I have almost no hope about having a linux version (with is bad since I'm a big fan of the Borderlands series)
But still, It's nice to see they ported the remastered version too (could be because Valve's contract forbidden to release exclusive content of a game out of steam, or because it was cheap to port the remastered version since they already had one).

DXVK 1.0.2 is out with some bug fixes, d9vk seems to be progressing nicely

I'm curious if D9VK could improve the performance of SWAT 4 with wine in the future :)
Quoting: YoRHa-2BTo be clear, the plan is to merge it if it matures enough. Joshua definitely knows his stuff and dedicates a lot of time and effort to this project, and I believe it can happen, but keep in mind that the project isn't backed by anyone and if Josh has to pull out of it for whatever reason, there's going to be no one to maintain it in the long run.Hopefully more people will join to help him.
A quick look over ProtonDB reports for Steam Play in March 2019

It's just that when I see a platinum game, I like to imagine my "Average Joe" friend trying to play a game on Linux without any knowledge about wine/proton etc, playing a game out of the box like they do with a console or Windows in most cases.
This is what I personally consider to be a "Platinum" experience.
Valve probably think this way too, that's why they just take feedbacks from github and not protondb. A small tweak may be simple for those who has a lot of experience, but it is too hard to a common user to do by himself.
Anyway, I hope they improve the feedback system in a near future, since this is a great help for "Gaming On Linux".

Quoting: scaineThe common fault is "people", I think...Agree
Quoting: scainewhich is why I'd like a filter by GPU. Maybe we play different AAA games. Who knows.Maybe, but I totally agree with a gpu filter.
Quoting: scaineWe'll agree to differ then.Please don't get me wrong, I totally understand your point of view :)

It shoudn't, that's a problem with users feedback. Most of then just put gold/platinum status without testing all the resources of a game. That's why we have silver/bronze too.

Quoting: scaineI guess you didn't read where I said:I did, and I say again that even if it's a small tweak, it requires that you have outside knowledge for this. the "Platinum" should be just for install and play like native games, and not just because a game runs as good as.
Quoting: scainebut I honestly think there's a too big a jump between gold and platinum.

Quoting: scaineThe graph in the article shows us just under 2300 reports from Nvidia users in March, with just under 1800 reports from AMD and Intel users.I was being sarcastic, even though if you check any AAA games, you will mostly see Nvidia users. You have to search more if you want to see Mesa users feedback.

The vast majority of reports there are from Nvidia users. It's understandable since until not long ago, Amd was crap with linux, but at the same time it's sad to see most people using products for a company that doesn't care about helping open source.

Quoting: scainesince earlier Proton version reports drag down the score of certain games that work perfectly now.Totally agree, I hope they can fix it soon.
Quoting: scaineI mean, Subnautica is still Silver on the site, but is at least a gold. And with a simple "-forcegl", it's a PlatinumThis one I think it should be gold if require a tweak, even if it's a small one. Imagine that most people don't even know this command without search in the internet first. Platinum should be only for games working by just launching it, and gold if just require a little tweak like your example.
Quoting: scaineSo I'd really like to say "Only show me Proton 4.2 reports, and only for Nvidia". And if I can get a "Only Ubuntu", so much the better.Isn't only Nvidia already? :)
