I'm having trouble setting up in-home streaming with two computers connected directly with a cable. I hope it'll be easier now.

New expansion of Kerbal Space Program. I bought KSP early, so I get all expansions for free :)

Lutris has the first release candidate available for 0.5 which needs testing

Quoting: TheRiddickis there a way to make it discover all your steam games and just at them to the list? or must you do it manually?

Iv'e caught it adding games itself sometimes but never correctly.

You can link your steam account with lutris and list of your games gets synchronized automatically.

Move over Steam Link, there's a Raspberry Pi app in town now

Nice! Some time ago I was checking if it was possible to install android on raspberry, to run the steamlink app (short answer: it's not). Now the problem is officially solved :)

touch steam_appid.txt is not required. echo 466560 > steam_appid.txt is enough to create a file with given content.

Nvidia beta driver 370.23 has initial support for PRIME Synchronization
18 August 2016 at 5:07 pm UTC

Read the paragraphs about "Output" and "Offload". Read the sentence "NVIDIA has no plans to support PRIME render offload at this time.". Say "Fsck you NVIDIA! I'm staying with bumblebee." :/

Barony, a 3D first-person roguelike goes open source

"I really do wish more developers did this."
This.

But looking at this source code gave me cancer. It's like it was written in plain C and someone made a last minute decision to turn this into C++. I call such code "C+-".

EDIT: Well, I should read README before:
QuoteThis project was a first for both of us in many ways and it shows. Since all of the original code was written in C and hastily converted to C++ in the past few months, experienced C++ programmers may be horrified at some of the kludge we had to write to get some of the more basic systems working properly.
I forgive them :)

Resolution added to the user stats page, please update your profiles
19 June 2016 at 6:54 am UTC

My situation with resolution is a bit complicated: I use a laptop, which has screen 1366x768. But when at home I attach an external monitor, which has 1920x1080. But when playing games on this external monitor I sometimes set the resolution to 1280x720 to get more FPS. (on my profile I selected 1920x1080 as my main gaming resolution)
