I'd just like to see Valve move into the 2010's and make the Steam client 64-bit.

Quoting: WMan22I wish there was an auto swap utility akin to prime-run/Nvidia Optimus where I could use the proprietary driver for games that run better with it, and NVK for games that run better with that, like A Hat In Time.

Even if I could use it by just swapping to it like a desktop environment in SDDM, where it'd be like Plasma (NVK Wayland) or (NVK X11)

This way I could like, check on the progress periodically without compromising my core experience, cause hot damn NVK is moving impressively fast in terms of updates and new features.

You can do it at the boot-level. On my old Maxwell based laptop I had grub setup with two entries for the same kernel, one that blacklisted nouveau, and one that blacklisted nvidia. It was a pretty manual process - I had to edit the grub config after every kernel update. Someone smarter than me could probably automate that though.

My current laptop is Pascal based, and nouveau sucks on it. I'm stuck with the proprietary driver. Anything Turing and newer should work fine though.

SiN is 75% off ($3.40 for us Canucks). Works well on Linux with this.

I'm pretty excited about this. I have a Maxwell GPU that supports manual re-clocking, so the clock speed isn't an issue. Nouveau performance is ... reasonable, except running Vulkan, where it's terrible. With more and more games running Vulkan, whether natively, or via DXVK, it was getting pretty limiting running Nouveau. I'm back to the proprietary driver for now.

Torchlight is the game that got me on Steam, and back into WINE. I made the swap to Linux exclusively in 2006, and I dabbled in WINE at that time, it was too unstable, and I played only Linux native games. Until Torchlight.

It was the first game I bought on Steam, and in the years between 2006 and 2009, WINE had crossed 1.0 mark. It was quite a bit more stable than the 0.9x days.

I'd like a new, widely available, Steam Controller. I wish I'd bought two, when I bought my first one.

Now, I have a problem.
I'm one of the unlucky folks who purchased The Long Dark from GOG. They removed it from the GOG store, but have continued to support it. Every update since it was removed has been released on GOG still.

I wonder if Hinterland will give me a Steam key so I can get the DLC when it's released?

Quoting: GuestWhy do all these games look childish as if meant for elementary/high school children? Where are the serious games?

Here's a less childish looking game for you. Made in Godot, it's hard and fun.

Turing+ ... this should be pretty mature by the time I can afford a supported GPU!

It will be interesting to see if this turns up as any improvement on my 10 year old Haswell chip.
