Are there any 3D printers that work better than others on Linux?

The E3 2019 Linux gaming round-up

Stadia could be very good news for Feral, Aspyr, et al. now that everyone and their Linux gaming grandma are playing Windows games with Steam Play. I imagine that it could be good business for them to eg. offer a one-time cut (and an optional support agreement) to port AAA games to Stadia, and additionally make an agreement to publish Linux and Mac versions on other store fronts for a cut of the sales, as they usually do.

Quoting: ArehandoroHold on... what about the first game? Is that also being remastered?

In any case, happy for this announcement and will get it for sure!

As far as I recall, the first game was never much of a hit, and the sequel can easily be played as a stand-alone game.

One of the main reasons I've been excited about crowdfunding in the past is that I've seen it as a way to help developers break free from the traditional Windows "monopoly", and publish their games on Linux. As such, I don't think a backer exclusive Linux build is a satisfying compensation, since the game will still be unavailable to all other potential Linux customers. I backed this game on Fig, and was looking forward to it, but now I'm considering asking for a refund, as I did with Outer Wilds.

Sweet! :D This was one of my favorites back in the day. I needed a little pick-me-up after yesterday's Double Fine news, and this hit the right spot.

The dev of "Marble It Up!" had intriguing words to say about the native vs Steam Play argument for a Linux version

Unless the game is whitelisted by Valve most Linux users won't even be aware that there's a Linux "port" though. I personally wouldn't even have heard of the game if it wasn't for this article, since it doesn't show up on Steam for me, with my preferences set to display only Linux games. I also prefer a native* port over a Windows version with Proton any day.

* And a Unity game with a Linux version is no less native on Linux than its Windows version is on Windows.

Quoting: amataiUsual message about how minetest is cool to put under any post about Minecraft ^_^
Nah, seriously, if you have'nt tried Minetest, it has become very cool (I will probably stop putting message under every message about Minecraft on the issue, that can soon become annoying)

Minetest is definitely very fun. My eight year old son loves it.

I requested a refund from Fig, and got a reply today saying they had refunded the charge.
