What's that? Another Steam Client Beta update? With a Linux platform filter? Yes it is

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI hope they finish this beta stage before October 28.

I don't understand why a sale event has any bearing on the beta? The store is the same in any client.

That's the beauty of open source though -- you may want to prioritise features/bug fixes/etc for one platform, but that doesn't stop other people in the community picking up the slack and working on the other platforms in your stead. :D

Thanks for the sum up, I'd missed a couple of these.

As for what I'm doing -- I have fallen into the same trap as Sin and fired up Minecraft again. Goodbye non-working life, I will remember getting shit done with fond memories.

Prison Architect updated with more free content, needs a fix for it running on Linux

Yeah, I just finished fighting the game to get it to launch on my system too.

The ancient sndio library dependency comes from the libSDL2-2.0.so.0 the game ships with. I avoided that by preloading /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0. Even when preloading /usr/lib/libc.so.6 I can't get the launcher to show up, so I ended up just forcing steam to launch the game binary directly. So, TLDR, I set my launch command in steam to:
LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0" ./PrisonArchitect.x86_64 %command%
(That %command% still seems to be needed, despite the "command" being explicitly set...)

I've never had this problem with Prison Architect in the past. It's quite.. disappointing.

I had to stop playing a few months ago because the game causes burn-in on my monitor. No idea why, it just leaves a ghost image of the menus, etc. even if I switch to my PS4. It eventually fades away, but it's very distracting when it's present. Might give it another go, just in case it was a driver bug or something.

Quoting: GuestThat being said, there is an alternative client to Discord that I use that piggybacks off of Discord's protocols:

Ripcord. It's an Alpha, but it's something.

It's also Qt-based, which is a win in my book. If my girlfriend keeps pestering me to jump back into Discord (which I abandoned after they moved to a GTK3 build of chromium/electron), it's nice to have an option.

Boo. Didn't realise it would require gtk3.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way of releasing the license and I tied my account to my steam, so I can't release it for someone else to use.

Awesome! The pause function will be very useful when my cats decide to destroy the place (or get stuck on top of doors) mid-recording. I can probably remove avidemux from my system now, as I only ever used it to remove such pauses from my recordings.
