Resolutiion is set to get a big free expansion soon

Seems like a great game, but the pricing is a bit off. For 9.99€ I would have bought it for sure already.

TUXEDO Computers announce the Pulse 15, a high-end AMD Ryzen laptop

Yeah, got an older one (2016?) as well, no complaints. Just be aware that the build quality is Clevo barebones which is really only average.

Might be tempted if they make a 14" with also a dedicated AMD mobile GPU ;)

What have you been playing recently? We've been tinkering with a Raspberry Pi 4

Super annoying though that the Steamlink software for the RasberryPI is incompatible with other SBCs and stuff like the Pinebook Pro. Come one Valve, just release the source code of it :(

With EA back on Steam, you can play Titanfall 2 on Linux with Steam Play

Oh cool. No anti-cheat software issues with that one? Sufficient playerbase online?

An update on Easy Anti-Cheat support for Wine and Proton

Well, nice if it works, but I never missed anything so far :)

For the dual booters it will just be Denuvo (or what ever other anti cheat is currently broken) if EAC is working.

And given the current trend of windows kernel root kits, maybe it is better to avoid these games or run them on a seperate machine only used for gaming.

Star Renegades has a new anime trailer and a slick battle system
18 June 2020 at 10:20 am UTC

Hmm, looks very slick.

But from a business perspective I wonder if it makes sense to go to the length of having a nice cinematic trailer produced etc. I noticed this as a recent "trend" in some indie games, but those are then asking for a significantly higher launch price, basically competing with last year's AAA games price wise.

I doubt the slick but $30+ indie game will work out, and it might very well break those indie studios financially.

Hyperspace Harvest has farming, bullet-hell and more inside an interstellar animal

Really not into farming games, but combined with cool graphics and what appears to be twinstick shooter gameplay? Wishlisted :)

Valve adds OpenXR support to SteamVR in 'Developer Preview'

Hmm, this could enable using PSVR on Linux with Steam, as apparently Collabora has a working 6DOF prototype driver for it in Monado.
Could be a really cool entry level VR option, especially since they are widely available and relatively cheap.

Defold Foundation awarded a grant to bring support of Web Monetization

Coinspam on GOL ;)

The idea is good, but from a quick look at the websites for "web monetazation" it seems like this isn't a industry wide initiative like this article makes it sound, but rather some obscure cryptocurrency linked project.

Maybe better promote Offset, which is also obscure, but 100% blockchain free:

Or GNU Taler: https://taler.net/

June's Humble Choice is out with Supraland, Overload, Barotrauma and more
6 June 2020 at 9:35 am UTC

The comments here... there seem to be some real hidden gems in this one and the AAA titles are also not too bad. And yes I own some of these already, but as long as there are 2-3 titles in it the low price is worth it.

I pause Humble choice a lot, but this time probably not.
