Quoting: LinasThe games has quite a learning curve. The first time I tried it, I was bouncing from wall to wall like a rubber ball, totally out of control. It gets easier with practice, but I didn't really have the patience to get anywhere near the level where I would feel comfortable. Otherwise, good game.

If I remember right, that's essentially how Wipeout & Wipeout XL were. It takes some time, but once you start to get a feel for it, it's quite satisfying to start winning races.

I've been using it since the last time it was featured here on GoL. I am really enjoying it... the Steam Buddy feature is great (though a bit rough around the edges), and a much nicer replacement for the old Ice and Steam Rom Manager tools which I've had mixed results with in the past.

I always appreciate a good Commodore 64 cameo.

The SteamGridDB (etc) integration is one nice, albeit superficial, feature of GameHub (major props to the artist who made all of these grid images):

All GameHub needs is a "Big Picture Mode" and we could be building a SteamOS-killer around it! :D

Edit: the Itch.io integration is a welcome addition, I'll have to update and test it out.

This is some impressive black magic.

Quoting: tmtvlI have the third problem: I see my list of games and realize I'll never have the time I need to give them all the love they deserve.

Same. And somehow that list also keeps getting longer...

Quoting: slaapliedjeTime for a port to the Atari 8bits?

Well it's already been ported to C64...

(edit: removed the link because I realized after the fact that it's an unofficial "cracked" version, apologies for that. perhaps now that the source is released there will be an "official" port.)

QuoteSystem76 are gradually becoming a bit more like the Apple of the Linux hardware world now.

When a company's actions essentially say "We're in control, trust us," I'm not likely to do so. When a company's actions say "Don't trust us, you're in control," I'm much more likely to trust them. Strange how that works...

Quoting: michaTowerfall Ascension Online!! <3

This was my first thought as well. But considering I didn't enjoy playing Shovel Knight via in-home streaming because there was too much latency, I'd imagine Towerfall and other fast platformers won't be very fun... at least not for the remote player(s)... :P
