The Feral Radar had ideas beyond its station and is now being admonished and updated accordingly.
I love this quote.

A bit disappointed, though. I was looking forward to finish this campaign started years ago once for all!

My First Hours With A Steam Link

Quoting: EikeHas anybody tried this over WiFi and/or power-line? As I don't see how I could have a cable between my PC and my TV, I wonder if especially power-line could be fast and reliable enough.
I haven't tried the steam link itself, but I was able to play some games quite fine with steam in-home streaming with powerline adapters.

Quoting: Comandante oardoFinally!!
I'm gonna buy it only for my linux exclusive steam account. :)

PS, anyone of You know if I can use the same credit card in two steam accounts?
You shouldn't have any problems with that. Multiple accounts are allowed by steam's EULA. I've done so in the past. They even recommend you to create a new account when you're VAC banned.

I would recommend playing this from behind a pillow, with emergency pants nearby.
I own no such thing as a spare pants.

Yeah, I could never manage to start this game... Which is a shame, since I played the original HL mod and enjoyed it.

Is local multiplayer considered as multiplayer? I've found myself fond of these games lately.

A New BATTLETECH Game From Harebrained Schemes Is On Kickstarter, Funded Already

I like mech games a lot, and there are not enough of these on Linux, to my liking.

I would have prefered a realtime one (FPS or TPS), but that's better than nothing :)

Cities: Skylines - After Dark Patch & Expansion Released, Some Initial Thoughts

Quoting: kurrosWe know that most of its benefits can also be achieved with Vulkan, but that is going to be even less common than OpenGL engines as long as OS X has no intention of supporting it in favor of Metal.
We know all of it's benefits can be achieved with Vulkan. There's no technical reason to prefer DX12. And I don't see how Apple's support of neither of these APIs if somehow a point in Microsoft's favour.
Yeah, moreover, it looks like nitendo (and possibly sony?) might support the vulkan api on their consoles.
One more thing : since vulkan and dx12 seem so closely related, wouldn't it be relatively easy to implement the dx12 API on the top of an open source vulkan driver ?

I personally purchased an arctic freezer extreme rev. 2. Not quite the same category, though. I have been really happy with it so far, and it's really silent :)

The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter Redux Moved To Unreal Engine 4, Still Has A Linux Port On The Table

If they intend to do so, they should be careful not to use too much middleware, or at least ensure that those are cross platform before using them. As far as I know, this is often the most difficult part when porting a game to a new platform after the release.

Other than that, glad to see they're still coming :)

The Stanley Parable Released For Linux, You Will Play It, You Won’t Play it

I am wondering... Is the quicksave shortcut a bug or a feature? I made some extensive use of this in my first playtrough.

It works wonderfully on R600g here. Thanks, GranPC
