Quoting: buenaventuraHum, I can't see any games to vote for, in any category? I tried Firefox and Chrome :/ I want to vote Quadrilateral Cowboy for best story, I wish other story driven games would be as confident and subtle as that. Also, the port is very good, even on my old hardware.
If I got it right, actual nominations will be open in January, and this is just to test the server. I don't have any game listed either.

The Steam Link can now use the XBox One S controller and customize the PS4 controller, also on sale

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: acup48bought it! thanks for the heads up, I was waiting for a decent discount to buy it
I'm rather surprised by such large discounts on hardware!
To be fair, I was surprised that it cost so much in the first place. It's not like the hardware itself is extremely advanced.

Anyway, bought it full price some time ago, and I still have some problems making it work over the PLC network (read:doesn't work) . Plus, the beast don't like my DHCP server, and manual settings have been buggy for me.

The Feral Interactive store has Tomb Raider for a stupid price, go grab it

The DLC are ridiculously over priced, though, at 18€

But it's only multiplayer stuff, and there is no one playing multiplayer anyway, in my experience.

The game is pretty good, though, and ran quite fine with Mesa on my 6870.

Valve are looking towards Flatpak functionality for Steam

Pretty nice answer (and pretty nice to have an answer at all from Valve :D ). Thank you, Pierre-Loup.
Yep, Flatpack technology makes sense here, IMO. I just hope it won't make it too difficult to use more recent libraries *instead* of broken ones that might be shipped.

Worms W.M.D will be getting cross-platform multiplayer, beta starts on Friday

Speaking of which (sorry to hijack the thread, I loved worms, but I seem to have moved on since), does tomb raider support cross platform multiplayer? I can never find anyone on it.

Alien: Isolation – The Collection is currently rather cheap on the official Feral store

Quoting: MikeHow does Alien run on Linux? Haven't check yet...
Just checked via family sharing, system crash on my 6870 + Mesa (so does Bioshock Infinite after forcing GL 4.1 -- no fp64 on evergreen). So, not cool.

Feral Interactive are requesting that Canonical get Mesa updates into an official PPA

I support the idea, but I am afraid this could be complicated in practice: you have to provide a compatible version of the kernel, llvm compiler, Mesa state tracker, as well as the Xorg components (with a compatible Xorg version).

Lots of breakage opportunities. The alternative is of course a rolling distribution.

Jupiter Hell, a modern turn-based sci-fi roguelike from the creator of DoomRL is on Kickstarter

Meh... I wanted to make my own sci-fi game on Jupiter :/ (just an idea, nothing clearly defined for now).

This sounds pretty interesting, I might back it as well.
