I was kinda hoping for a Skies of Arcadia style game, but this looks fun too!

Eco - Global Survival Game, an incredibly interesting looking game that's already on Linux

I think this would be fun to play on a private server. Despite the friendly greeting you received, I fear it's only a matter of time before trolls/griefers descend.

We have 99 keys of IMPOSSIBALL to give away to Linux gamers willing to test it out

Thank you for the key.

It runs well, but I seem to have an intermittent issue when using a mouse where I can't move my paddle to the bottom of the screen. It's almost as though the paddle already thinks it's at the bottom of the screen and won't move any lower. I have to move significantly up in order to be able to move down to the bottom.

This is using a Roccat Kone XTD, polling at 1000Hz, and running at 1000dpi.

I haven't tried playing with my steam controller yet.

Stefan Achatz, the developer who worked on Linux support for Roccat devices answers why he's stopping

Shame on anyone who said this was a lazy decision of him. He owes nobody anything, and deserves nothing but respect for all the effort he's put into this project over the years.

It is a shame that he's stepping down, and I do hope that someone steps in to keep his work going, be that Roccat themselves, or someone from the community.

Nvidia 375.26, 340.101 and 304.134 driver releases are now available

Quoting: tuubiWhy do Ubuntu users install manually when there's a PPA maintained by Ubuntu staff? A mystery for the ages. Or at least for me.

You get Arch users doing the same thing, despite the official repositories having the latest Nvidia driver available. It's usually down to a lack of knowledge, or a lack of patience. Packages take a little while to be updated by their maintainers, and some people just aren't capable of waiting for that to happen.

Site update: Notification system updated
15 December 2016 at 11:25 pm UTC

Cool. I disabled the notifications after getting so many. I've re-enabled them now, but it's immediately reported that I have 40 notifications. This suggests that the system is storing the notifications even though they're disabled, is this by design, or an oversight?

Also, disabling "Turn on notification area for: Comments" also disabled the notifications for likes. Is this a work in progress, and comments and likes are supposed to be controllable individually?
