Looks great. Won't go to the top of my wishlist but excellent news for fans of soiled pants.
QuoteIntel AMD and GPUs are not supported.
Quoteand I'm not kidding you just how much this game scares when me.Liam's so scared he has lost control of his keyboard.

No interest in 2d roguelikes, but Pittman does know his platformers. Zero is definitely worth checking out (when it's out).
@sub: I almost always disable CRT simulation effects in these games. Don't see the point. I guess I'm just not that nostalgic for the inferior technology of my childhood years. Many old games were/are great fun, but not because of the crappy screens we had back then.

Quoting: Mountain ManHave you ready any EULA before? They're actually not much different now than they were 10-years ago. The only real difference is that here in the digital age, developers and publishers actually have a means of enforcing the EULA.And every single one of these "means" the corporations have been given has been a loss for us consumers. This rapid erosion of consumer rights is unsettling for many of us Europeans at least.

Quoting: oldrocker99Personally, I have no problem with Steam's checking (on some games. not all) to see if you actually bought the game.There are other problems with DRM, but that's a whole another discussion. Anyway, the problem I have with Steam and others of its kin is the idea of games as a service. I use Steam daily, but I feel much better buying an actual copy of a game from the likes of GOG rather than the mere right to play it (and some extra social crap I don't want). That said, Valve has done a lot of good for us Linux Gamers, and to a (significantly) lesser extent for the larger Linux desktop community as a whole.

Quoting: SirBubblesI know that the Witcher 3 is on the GamingOnLinux's release schedule for November, but is that actually confirmed?It's been marketed as a future SteamOS title, but I don't remember anything resembling an official announcement with regards to the release date. I guess official Steam Machines launch date is as good a guess as any, if a bit optimistic.
The Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 PRO Rev.2 Is Cheap & Fantastic AMD CPU Cooler

I made the mistake of buying a rather expensive Noctua cooler for my work machine a few years back, and now I'm hopelessly in love with them. (Please don't tell my wife.) Their heat sinks and fans are pure gold. Well not actually made of pure gold but copper, aluminium, plastic and whatnot. Still, you know what I mean.
Spoiler, click me
I've had my share of hits and misses in the cooling department in the almost two decades since I built my first rig as a teen, although back then the coolers were all crap. Some were made of copper, but that just made them slightly heavier and more expensive crap.
One shiny blue sink with a tiny little fan - appropriately shaped like a jet engine - that sat on one of my early Athlons (or might have been a K6-2 or something) was so extraordinarily loud I was positively scarred for life. And so were our neighbours. It sounded like a vacuum cleaner trying desperately to reach earth orbit.
I won't even speak of my unfortunate but repeated missteps into the world of overclocking, let alone the subsequent hasty exits from said world with my tail between my legs, the remains of a handful of expensive components serving as smouldering proof of my shameful failure.

Steam Controller Demo From Pax Prime With Valve Talking About It

Personally I use a wired controller because I've never been bothered by the cable, even on the sofa.

Quoting: neffoWHO only classifies wireless radiation as "possibly carsinogenic" pending further research into it's long-term effects, so no worries I guess. I wonder if it's even possible to meaningfully reduce the radiation we are exposed to in an urban environment...Quoting: ShmerlI like a wired option. Too much radiation isn't needed. And good point about batteries waste others already brought above.
A tin-foil hat shouldn't affect the controller. All good.

Now let's get back to work and argue statistics and numbers until big business learns to love the penguin.

Quoting: liamdaweYes, we are one whole percent. One one-hundredth of 'em all. One of every hundred gamers out there is a penguin. Who'da thunk that'd ever happen just a few short years back. Not EA, that's for sure.Quoting: tuubiQuoting: oldrocker99Currently, the total concurrent Steam users is ~7.85 million. Even if it's only 1%, 1% of 7, 850,000 is 785,000 or 863,500 if 1.1% and 1,020,500 if 1.3%.You better check that math, good man. :) 7 580 000 * 0.01 = 75 800.
We are the 1%, not the 0.01% ;)

Looks Like Grid Autosport Could See A Linux Release Soon

In any case the wrapper itself isn't a problem, but it does mean that Linux support is an afterthought, not a priority. It also makes it next to impossible to fix platform specific bugs. You have to hack around them in the wrapper, and you just try doing that when the original code you cannot see, let alone debug, does something weird that just happens to work on Windows.
I still think wrappers are a good way to bring older Windows games to Linux. Better a wrapper than nothing. And a good wrapper is better than a bad native port. In the end, only the end result matters for gamers.

Quoting: maodzedunHow is a wrapper a problem if you get the same performance?We'll need to see more than one game performing the same as on Windows before we can conclude that eon is perfect. Arma 3 seems very bad at utilizing your cpu & gpu resources on windows according to reports, which might have given VP an opportunity here.
