The war of the PC stores is getting ugly, as Metro Exodus becomes a timed Epic Store exclusive

Seeing screenshots like that, and then looking over at screenshots of our indie games... And... Yeah, well...

You can always distinguish a AAA game screenshot from an indie one by the fact that you can never find that AAA game screenshot in the actual game.

"Because marketing is the thing!" :)

This said, we all know that it doesn't make it a better game.

Thing is, judging by the wave of angry comments on the Steam page, 4A Games / Deep Silver seem to have hurt it's Metro fan base. Really bad move to pull it off like that, 2 weeks before release after having built such a hype for it. We now have a full year to discover if it's a good game. Who knows, we might have saved 60$.
SteamOS got updated recently, previous beta promoted to stable with a new beta for security fixes

Personnally, I really do like SteamOS but, imo, the "lowest denominator" they are offering is just way too low (outdated drivers). I prefer tweaking an Ubuntu minimal install and add the nvidia gpu drivers or mesa repo.

Stumbled upon this project that quite does that with a nice automated script:

I guess it might change when SteamPlay will be out of beta...
Some information on why Wine is not going to be using DXVK

Quoting: benjamimgoisWhile opensource is fighting it self, closed source OS like Windows and OSX concentrate efforts in what really matter.

Please define what really matters... Personally I still see the OpenSource having an edge in that department. Isn't 70% of cloud based services and servers running on OpenSource?

Let's hope that this public statement will force both (all) parties to establish the communication and get something positive out of it, for "the greater good". Else, it's not really of concern to us.
Valve have detailed some changes coming to Steam in an overview post

Quoting: eldakingValve has its many flaws (their hands-off approach to curation or their subpar treatment of indies for example). But they are still so far ahead of the competition it's just hard not to support Steam.

Yep! And when you read the complete post... It's quite shocking (unfair? Surprising?) when people say that Valve takes a 30% cut without doing anything... I don't see Epic offering an equivalent infrastructure now and not before a long, long time...

Edit: I hoped we would get news about new hardware, but Valve being Valve, we still may have surprises. :)
Steam Play recently hit 500 Windows games rated as Platinum on ProtonDB

On my RX580 + Mesa 18.3 (transform feedback included) and with the latest Proton beta (3.16-6 beta), Witcher 3 runs flawlessly.

The stuttering that was felt (while riding a horse) is totally gone, the experience is really smooth. Didn't notice any graphical glitches or major slowdowns...

I'm really impressed by the pace of developpment and the performances they are getting out of Proton!

Awesome job guys!

Will we see Witcher 3 in the next round of Whitelisted titles? :)
Epic and Improbable are taking advantage of Unity with the SpatialOS debacle, seems a little planned
11 January 2019 at 3:16 pm UTC Likes: 5
It just feels like a FUD campaign lead by Improbable and Epic to lure developers away from Unity to Unreal.

I might get it wrong, but from what I just read, it's still permitted to use SpatialOS. What is not permitted is Improbable's specific way of doing things:

"We’ve made it clear that anyone using SpatialOS will not be affected.

Projects that are currently in production or live using SpatialOS are not affected by any actions we have taken with Improbable.

If a game developer runs a Unity-based game server on their own servers or generic cloud instances (like GCP, AWS or Azure), they are covered by our EULA."

"Much ado about nothing"? Improbable decided to wash it's dirty laundry in public, with Epic's help?
Liftoff, a drone racing game that launched this year has Linux support

Quoting: g000hI'm quite interested in this but would be particularly interested if you could use it with an official R.C. Remote, e.g. Spektrum DX6i using USB link cable. In my cursory look over the Steam page. I didn't spot anything to indicate that you'd get proper kit to work on it.

A friend of mine who owns this game and a couple of drones told me it works great with a Jumper T8SG. Might work with your Spektrum too?

Dragonlance! Check it out if you enjoy fantasy. :)
The book where he gets pulled into Ravenloft was amazing.

Dragons of a Vanished Moon is a great closure, imo, to this character.
I should read the newer Dragonlance books, I mostly stopped after the short stories about the Companions kids.

I read "Dragons of Summer Flames" and "The War of Souls" trilogy... Excellent books if you ever come by one of these.
