The Current Humble Weekly Sale Is A Cracker For Linux
14 Aug 2015 at 7:20 pm UTC

They are good games, indeed. I purchased it, but I would also like to see "bigger ones" in a space bundle. Like Star Ruler 2, Planetary Anihilation, Stellaris (not out yet, I know), or similar.

Terraria Now Available DRM Free For Linux On GOG & Out Of Beta
13 Aug 2015 at 1:45 pm UTC

Still no DRM-free version on the humble store, though :(

I hope it will come there one day, I have a pretty big humble library.

Hacking Simulator Hacknet Released, Eventually Coming To Linux
13 Aug 2015 at 12:21 pm UTC

It's now on my wishlist (well.. Sort of). The best (imo) hacking simulation I have tried to date is uplink. Any word on how this title cimpares against it? (besides the fact that it doesnt' seem gui-based :P )

BOMB: Who let the dogfight? Exits Early Access & Released For Linux, It’s Terrible
13 Aug 2015 at 11:05 am UTC

Looks a bit like crimson's skies. I might like it, after all.

Those issues you are experiencing are weird, though. Is it still in beta ?

GOG Have Supported Linux For Just Over A Year, Announce New Linux Installer System
12 Aug 2015 at 5:18 pm UTC

Looks good, but not really future proof, when everyone will be using "LinuxApps" or whatever docker-like desktop container.

(If that ever happens one day, which I hope).

The Sales Page Returns
9 Aug 2015 at 3:05 pm UTC

I was about to write the same about SteamDB.

Your sale page is useful, I used to check it regularly, but I currently don't have much time to play new games, I already have a lot of good ones in my library, in part thank to you :)

A bit off topic, but :
I was wondering... Do you use a cron job or something like this to regularly pull updates for these websites? I am in the process of writing something similar (jobs that have to be scheduled at arbitrary times in php).

Thanks :)

The Wine Development Release 1.7.49 Is Now Available
9 Aug 2015 at 9:56 am UTC

Quoting: DissCentFinally I can start Steam without the "-no-dwrite" option (which I always forget to add to my command line :P).
So true...

@Liam, I noticed that page 2 is rendering somewhat incorrectly on mobile phones, with items being too large for the page. Maybe an issue related tho the video in the comments ?

Nvidia To Show Off Vulkan On NVIDIA GPUs & An OpenGL Linux Graphics Debugger
7 Aug 2015 at 3:22 pm UTC

Thanks everyone for this information. I have one more question : since DX12 is very similar to Mantle [External Link], we can expect it to be very similar to vulkan, right ? Will it make a difference in the porting effort to vulkan ? Or is it something we don't know for sure yet?

Stellaris, An Ambitious Space Grand Strategy Game By Paradox, Announced & Coming To Linux
7 Aug 2015 at 1:09 pm UTC

Hype, hype, hype !
I've never been that much into paradox games (admittedly I didn't have much time to look into them), but if they come to the space sim genre, that might change.

(Newton's laws will probably be violated once more, though. I might also buy Star Ruler 2, for that matter.)

Nvidia To Show Off Vulkan On NVIDIA GPUs & An OpenGL Linux Graphics Debugger

I am terribly excited about vulkan. I hope the support will be backed in mesa day one !

About nVidia's debugger, though, IMO they should have worked to improve a cross-vendor solution; that would have meant less work and good tools for everyone... But you know, when you can sell 10x more cards to developers than AMD, logic and ethics don't stand a chance against financials :/

I hope mesa devs will come up with a cross-vendor multi gpu solution for vulkan, though, unless it is exposed directly by the api ?
