Hailing from California, things seem back to normal - now I can obsessively check GOL along with pacman -Syu all day long as is my custom XD.

Africans culture is fascinating, it's nice to be united under a common cause with friends and people all over our one world :)

I had read on Phoronix the game started with T.

Valve have made some big changes to the Steam Reviews system

I wish they would require a minimum play time in order to leave a review - or even esteem reviewers who have completed 50% or 100% of the game.

Rocket League updated for SteamOS & Linux, AA now works, FPS no longer locked to 60

So what's the general consensus?

A lot of people have been riled up about the incredible delay of this coming to SteamOS - and some of us believed it would not happen.

Is the Linux community willing to overlook the rough ride and enjoy a well designed, fun and addictive game?

In most cases I will salve my frustrations when developers change their attitude and or deliver, in this case the vexation is alleviated because OP delivered finally.

I am stoked too that it runs good on AMDGPU as it pairs nicely with my RX 480 - I just borrowed a copy for 20 minuets and it seemed fun.

StarMade, the Minecraft-like spaceship builder now has a brand new launcher, be sure to try the demo!

This is a game I always thought to try, but would never buy with limited information - a demo seems like the perfect lure.

@lod - that was a fun watch, thanks for the entertainment - as a programmer I know that mans pain, I've disected 10,000 files of procedural code to convert a application in a service for a new UX, the most brilliant and spaghetti part was when I had to code a custom blow-fish decryption module to interface with the existing system to authenticate logins, what a nightmare.

It might be cool to have a uhm place where it displays UTC time like say in the website sidebar so we know when things are going to happen. I google for UTC time every time these come up and I pretty much miss 90% of the streams because of confusion, or being busy, but mainly confusion.

Remember the Smach Z handheld? LowSpecGamer took a look and others at Gamescom

Switched to Red Camp AMDGPU - RX480.

It runs most games well @ 1080p - about 300 FPS in CS:S and CS:GO each (Though theres some weird anti aliasing or filtering slow down I had to turn down low.)

I'm curious how much juice they can pull out of their AMD Falcon SoC APU. I guess at 440p you wouldn't even need anti aliasing @ 1080p, I sortof honestly feel like a handheld would do better at 720p at this size to conserve GPU and maximize framerate.

This will be a interesting watch, I consider AMD to be becoming a increasingly dangerous contender to Nvidia, especially in the Linux scene.
