Life is Strange: Before the Storm is officially coming to Linux, port from Feral Interactive
14 March 2018 at 9:31 pm UTC

so this was the game on their radar...
i wonder if the pool to decide what to port next was an waste of time, or if they will really start to porting one of the voted ones as soon as they are close to deliver those who they were already working on.

Exit84 is a frustrating typing-platformer game where you move by typing what's on the screen

the gameplay sounds like "train your skill on typing" so if its a platform or what the genre is, isnt very important, the game play will be the same of any other type-training game.
the problem witht his kind of game is, once you played one of then, you played then all

Quoting: KeyrockThe intel SoC in the GPD-WIN has very bad (intel) support for linux. The GPD-WIN2 seems to be more pc-like and less embedded, so I have higher hopes for that. It's easier to run linux on an ARM than on a GPD-WIN :-).
I assume (without fact checking) that the AMD support is better for linux.

if you run on arm you lose all your steam games, what is the point?
there arent many games for linux arm, the only ones i know are html5 games or android games.

plus, make a good controller is expensive.
valve spent a lot of money on steam controller, MS blowed up 100 milions on xbox elite controller (well , to be fair it costs 150 dollars)
i dont think an kickstarter company can do it

at this point, i'm wondering if they are porting games or engines and just testing the export function with some Q/A.
not that this is a bad thing, but i would like to see more games that i want to play, not games that if i buy, its because i want to support linux, and as result more games that i dont want get ported...

OBS Studio NDI Plugin for Linux, send video from one Linux PC to another

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: elmapulinput delay...
No, you're playing the game on the PC it's running on, then that's being sent to a PC with OBS which sends the video. There would be no input delay.
input delay may also refers to the refresh rate of the tv.

tvs with an bad input delay are bad for gaming, it dont make any difference when you're watching tv so many people dont know there is an issue, but as soon as they try to play, they have issues.

in this case, you will have the delay of the monitor (or tv) to where you are streaming+ the delay to encode, send and decode the image, it may be noticeable.

(i know, it will not stream to an monitor or tv, but you will show the image on those anyway)

that is the reason that people who have both an xbox one and an ps4 dont use the hdmi pass through to send the image from an console to the other then to the tv.
the controller will have the same input delay since it comunicate direct with the console, but the image will not
