Quoting: fagnerlnDiRT4 is SO GOOD... I'm really enjoying it, even on "simulator mode" isn't frustrating as Rally. I loved Dirt 2, but didn't like dirt 3. Dirt 4 is a proper sequel to 2.
I know right, I really don't get the problem people have with DiRT 4, thought it was great fun.
Bought a Logitech G29 because of your driving videos from many months ago and Dirt 4 runs really well on my old GTX 970. Also, American and Eurotruck Simulator 2 are a bizarrely zen experience for anyone who needs a low stress escape right about now.

On a related note, maybe you or Sin stream some Dirt 4? Eh?

Quoting: Linas(Un)fortunately I can work from home. But man am I not productive with all the distractions around. Any productivity tips?
I'm in the same boat. Being able to do IT work from home is a blessing and a curse. This article from Ars Technica helped me a bit:
Suddenly working at home? We’ve done it for 22 years—and have advice

Also, I have a ton of duplicate Humble keys that I've acquired over the years. As long as people won't resell them, I'd be up for trading or gifting them to fellow GOLers.

Quoting: brokeassbenDamn. I joined too late. It was down to two players by the time I got there.
Don't worry, plenty more where today came from ;)
That's excellent to hear. Not sure how many CS:GO players we've got, but I'd be into getting some games of that together. It'd be a nice break from the about 1/10 awful people that populate the servers.

Aquiris Game Studio ending support for their online FPS Ballistic Overkill
6 December 2019 at 6:35 pm UTC

The signs have been there since last year, but it's still disappointing. I sank MANY hours into playing this game and a brief flurry of skin updates and a ranking system helped keep a player base for about six months, then that abruptly disappeared and the number of users tanked.

The Linux port of Shadow of Mordor from Feral Interactive has gained a Vulkan Beta, a massive difference
18 October 2019 at 2:06 pm UTC

Fired it up last night and the performance is massively improved. I'd given up on playing because the FPS were so low and inconsistent...and of course immediately died during my first encounter with a warlord because I'd forgotten how to play since I last launched it.

SC Controller, incredibly useful UI/Driver for the Steam Controller has a new release

Just saw that the new kernel (4.18) supports the Steam Controller out of the box

Edit: That actually says nothing about the SC addition, so here's the article from OMG! Ubuntu

Confessions of a Brogue junkie

Quoting: Patola... I specially admire when he describes the joy of games I don't like, because it helps me to learn and empathize with him.
Same. I've never been into this type of game, but his excitement for them makes me wish I was. His attitude makes him pretty endearing.

A Linux version of 'Full Metal Furies' from the maker of Rogue Legacy is coming

I'm a big fan of Rogue Legacy. It was punishing with it's nonstop deaths but still managed to hook me. If RL is any indication, this should be fun. Plus the artwork looks pretty rad.

Dropped $30 on Civ VI last night and already have 12 hours played on it. Might need a break to eat and rest my bloodshot eyes.

Also, why is Gandhi such an ass in this game? Declared war on me for no apparent reason.
