Quoting: MaathI suspect there is an age range demographic to which Life is Strange caters. I tried the free first chapter, but it did not resonate with my memory of high school.

IDK what your high school was like, but mine had nothing to make a game about, so that's maybe a good thing.

For games that aren't out for Linux, there's zero reason for their makers/publishers to make them so unfortunately. They'll get minimal additional sales and the whole ballache (real of perceived) of support.

It is a game to the troll.

Quoting: GuestIt really runs on a potato. ^_^

It really does, performance is great. Much better on my 10yo laptop than either Crossing Souls or Dead Cells (and looking much better than the former). Doesn't even spin up the fan.

As long as it means CUDA is _also_ supported, it’s all good. Should it suddenly become the _only_ thing that works, that’ll be huge grounds for concern.

Blender needed more than 20 years to get where it's now, Godot still has a ways to go. ;-)

Still, open source has been doing the rounds recently, so who knows. I certainly wish them the best of luck.

Wouldn’t start until I ran Steam from the terminal. Weird.

I guess they’re trying to drum up interest for their next game? It seems to be working, at least in my case.

On Linux I’m playing Dark Souls III and Mortal Kombat XL. I also started setting up my Valve Index, which arrived yesterday, but am still to actually play anything. The setup seems to work well, at least. I had to set it up at work as that’s where I have the space and the good(ish) computer, will probably get back to it on Monday.

But the game I’ve really been playing these past few weeks is Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana on the PS Vita. It’s very good. It’s out on Steam too and probably runs fine on Linux.

That's interesting, probably a bug. In my experience when I select a not-installed Proton version, it'll download it before starting the game.

Quoting: x_wingand in the end, is what our platform needs.

Not necessarily. Our platform needs more games. GOG installers are pretty easy to use too. If they wouldn't have been missing releases though.

The installer itself is easy enough, but you need to have a bunch of libraries installed for almost any given game to work which are not installed by default and they are listed in the system requirements box on the game's store page and someone who's just moved to Linux because whatever and is not an IT guy will a) have no idea they have to install them, b) have no idea how to install them, c) wonder why the hell their game isn't starting and d) reinstall Windows.
