It looks great!
The performance figures someone quoted in the phoronix thread are also quite impressive.

/me want a vulkan-capable card :/

hackmud, a cyberpunk themed text-based hacking simulator is now out with Linux support

I am a solo dev on this game, and I cannot currently keep up with player concurrency. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW IF SLOW SERVER PERFORMANCE WILL MAKE YOU REGRET YOUR DECISION.
At first, I got it as a joke, like if he was the one typing the answers to the commands (ant I thought that the joke was pretty funny). Maybe related to some manual events? Though I doubt it. It's not doable to interact with the entirety of the player base.

I quite like the terminal animations :) Would probably not use them on my system, though, unless it's for showing off*

*I already have ponysay for that

On Wednesday the 28th of September Feral Interactive will livestream Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II on Linux

Quoting: linuxgamerThat' really cool! Makes quite a bit sense as they are releasing the day after. But why advertising with BST, I bet more costumers use CEST, BREXIT?
I actually had to google BST, to be fair. I think the real question here is why not GMT/UTC? This is the only one needed, in my opinion. Giving something else force people to lookup the difference between the given timezone and GMT, then convert back to theirs :/

Well, just gave a shot at livestramer (twitch gui). It works great, though not with vlc, interestingly. I think I will just stay with mpv for the time being, then.

Quoting: MyeulCI might try to watch it; is it possible without flash?
Quoting: Liam's newspostFor those that don't know, you can use livestreamer [Official Site] to watch Twitch streams with your favourite desktop player.
How did I miss that? Thanks!

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTIf you like to follow several streams on a regular base, it might be a good idea to go for Livestreamer Twitch GUI [External Link]. The program helps you to configure your custom player as well as notifies you of streams going live. It has the option tu use a nice, dark ui and Login to your Twitch Account to chat as well.

There should also be packages provided for your favorite distro as well as Windows.

Livestreamer Twitch Gui + MPV = <3
Thanks for the tip, I will try it as soon as I get home. I might start watching streams, after all.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, Chaos Rising and Retribution announced for Linux this month!

I am eager to finish those campaigns once and for all. Will my savegames be compatible? Steamcloud?

I already own them, though. Meh, I'll just buy Life is Strange full price, then, I guess :)

'SOMA' from Frictional Games sales figures released, Linux accounted for around 1.1% of sales

Got it on a humble monthly, IIRC, so it won't count as a direct sale, I am afraid :)

Quoting: tuubiMaybe GOG could do a wrapjob for us?
This sounds particularly naughty to me, I don't exactly know why ;)

On a side note, IIRC, in France, if you own the game, you are allowed to own a "private copy" of it. This is also true for other media, and is compensated by a tax on storage devices. So, ROM ownership *should* be legal there (I am not a lawyer), as well as games stripped from their DRM, as long as you own them.

Become a box in 'What The Box?' a rather funny online shooter that has Linux support

Reminds me of prophunt for Gary's mod. Liam, we should definitely play this one day, it's hilarious!

Natural Selection 2 is finally taking steps towards 64bit with a new patch

I guess it is time to try this game again. It never worked for me, not even the menu IIRC.
