Quoting: ShmerlDoes it mean Epic games have no DRM? How would an open source solution work otherwise?

Quoting: scaineSTASIS had no Linux support, so I skipped that one.
It's in the beta branch on Steam, or at least it was when I played the game last year. But yeah, no idea why it never was released on GOG...

Quoting: AwesamLinux"Press X to Not Die", "The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker" and "Roundabout" are great FMV games that have native Linux support

Those games are not that old though, but might be worth taking a look at anyway if you like them FMVs
Thanks for the suggestions, wiill add them to the list!

Quoting: ShinyaOsenWish they would add ps3 support because sonys program doesnt work on windows let alone wine but id imaging that would be to much of a hassle for little reward
Perhaps you've already seen this, but there does seem to be an implementation of the PS3 streaming protocol available. Adding it to Chiaki might be a fun project for someone?

Quoting: slaapliedjeStill no one gives love to the mother of them all, Debian...
It's a long term relationship, 18 years or so. We no longer feel the need to be demonstrative.

Crooks Like Us us an upcoming party game where you steal everything, try the free Alpha
29 December 2020 at 7:11 pm UTC

Puts me in mind of Katamari Damacy. But you stack up all the things instead of rolling them. Plus stealing is always fun! Grabbing the thing and running and laughing...

Hope they add a single player mode!
