It gives one hope that their Linux/SteamOS push may indeed not be over yet!

Quoting: DrakkerAlso a fan of FTL, but so far I rather like Darkest Dungeons. It may be because I'm still doing low-mid level quests, but the game doesn't seem all that hard, and by thinking ahead you can deal with the occasional bad luck, after all these games are all about planning and dealing with strings of bad rolls. I did lose a whole team foolishly putting a torche in the shambler's altar, thinking that its a level 1 dungeon and it can be that bad. Yeah... sigh... heh. Otherwise, as long as you have a good healer or two in your team the game is almost a walk in the park. The occultists dish so many critical hits that they significantly lower the team's stress. It seems that vestal+occultist+occultist+whichever-warrior-is-available can't lose so far. Infinite healing, lots of crits, can deal with anything and will make quick work of the back row of any enemy formation, preventing extra stress.

Yeah, my biggest issue so far, was when I wasn't paying attention to my gold at base, and spent too much upgrading/destressing. Then I had a very limited choice of Heroes, and not enough money to properly equip them, and pretty much hosed my whole campaign after 6 quests... Learned my lesson and started a fresh campaign.. :D

Quoting: DrakkerDarkest Dungeon is 60% off.

I bought DD the first day of Summer Sale. I've been playing the heck out of it since.. It's atmosphere and ability to make you lose hours at a time is a bit reminiscent to me of Hand of Fate. I think its great..

Quoting: prosoorI have Steam Link and Steam Controller for more than a year.
I am not very satisfied.[...]
Steam controller: what is the purpose of mousepad when it is completely unuseful in any game?
If I would be buying today, I would buy Pi and XboX controller. With my steam linux server, if you know how to set it all up, it does same thing as steam hardware, but better.

I don't understand? The mousepad (touchpad?) can be used in any game, it's fully programmable, with a lot of custom configs available to download with it already programmed to be used..

Quoting: meggermanI returned mine. Could not get a good experience with it even on a perfect 100/100 LAN.

that is a dirt cheap price though.

As Liam said, " A good network setup is required though." 10/100 is not a good network setup anymore...

On another note, following that link, they show at $36 USD... :( There are used ones for <$14, but new ones are $36. Too bad, I was gonna jump on that..

QuoteIs anyone here actually using SteamOS? What are your thoughts on it?

I installed it a couple years ago with Stephenson's Rocket.. I've done some modifications, but still running it on my TV box.. I like it overall, although it can seem a bit flaky on updates at times (I've had to fix things via command line rescue mode and/or ssh). Overall, though, it does a fine job as a basic game console in BPM. I wish they'd build more advanced game console features into it and media apps though.

Quoting: Hori

Quoting: inlinuxdude

Quoting: inlinuxdudeAnyone know if the Link has been hacked to run standard Linux or Android? I could use another cheap Kodi box...

Well, I just had to go and Google it... It looks like Kodi is recently running natively with a few bugs/quirks. http://steamcommunity.com/app/353380/discussions/1/451850849186712370/?ctp=13

Why go through all that trouble when you can get a Raspberry Pi for dirt cheap?

Commodity hardware is frequently cheaper at a price point for comparable hardware (especially on sale). However, after finally finding the specs on the Link, it didn't look that impressive, so for the trouble, not worth it for me.
