Quoting: PhiladelphusI'll grudgingly admit they've managed not to run GitHub into the ground yet

They put Nat Friedman in charge of it; he's an old GNOME hacker, that ended up at Microsoft as part of the Ximian/Xamarin acquisition.

Quoting: soulsourceLong story short: That's a bundle I would buy immediately, if I wouldn't already own most of the games...

I was surprised to find that I already own every single one of them... :-)

I haven't played all of them, but I also love the Deponia series; Night of the Rabbit was what I played most recently, and it worked just fine via Proton. I'll have to get around to the "Dark Eye" ones; thanks for the recommendation.

Quoting: tuubiIf you're looking for similar games on Linux, both Quern and Haven Moon are worth playing.

Must agree; both are great, although Haven Moon is way shorter (about 1/7th the play time here).

Quoting: PhlebiacA few games I've tried it on (that worked before) exit immediately after starting; anyone else seeing that?
I noticed similar behaviour on Arch after upgrading FAudio from 21.01 to 21.02. More precisely, I noticed that after the regular package upgrade no game in Steam would run.

Hmm... interesting. I do see the libFAudio package did update to 21.02 near the same time. Something I can check into further, thanks.

As noted on Phoronix, Linux users will want to steer clear of these for a while:

Quoting: pete910Ironically its AMD's IP that they are using.

Intel made some processors with integrated AMD GPUs on them, but I'm pretty sure "DG1" has nothing to do with AMD IP. Do you have any evidence otherwise?

My only complaint at the moment is they waited until after release to send out keys to the Kickstarter backers - and I still haven't received mine. :(
