Ah, we really do need more pacifist games so this is definitely one I'll keep an eye on!

I played and finished Terminator: Resistance which ran flawlessly through Proton on my Ultrawide monitor (3440x1440) and was surprisingly nice to play with my Steam Controller (aim-down-sight + gyro control = chef kiss). This is actually one of the only games I've finished in recent years and I fully recommend any Terminator fan to play it.
It's a bit like Fallout 3 with the big difference that I didn't dislike it one bit ;)

That is some surprisingly good sound work! Clear, punchy and with very nice stereo effects (is that an HRTF-like phase effect I hear on the sword swinging?). I'm not that big on roguelikes but this is so polished that I may just have to take a look.

Yeah, I'll echo what AciD is saying.
I was getting terrible finger aches from the finger stretches I had to do when using Qwerty which was alleviated by switching to Dvorak and fixed completely by switching to an ortholinear layout. My wrist pains were alleviated by switching to the ErgoDox and whipping up a ghetto-stand (extending the existing tent kit with popsicle sticks to get steeper angles :P)
I will recommend switching Z and L on Dvorak though - moving the pinky down is just easer for me than up and I use L a lot more than Z.

Quoting: Philadelphus[...All these nifty keyboard options make me slightly sad that my Corsair Vengeance K70 I bought back in 2014 is showing no signs of needing replacement anytime soon. :P[...]

That's the one I was on before I switched to my ErgoDox EZ - just saying ;)

...I love dvorak, bepo, all those alternatives but their costs, wow!
I would love to buy a Ergodox EZ as it should be from my point of view a standard ... but that price XD, no way

Well, I think I've spent about the same on my ErgoDox EZ as I would have continued spending on the continued search for a better keyboard, wrist pads, programming gloves, etc. For comparison, I bought 3 normal keyboards and about 5 wrist pads in the year before the ErgoDox and haven't used anything else since I got it.
There are cheaper options as well; you can get a normal ErgoDox for about $150 less if you build it yourself (you'll be missing out on the tent-kit, wrist pads and lights though) or you could build a Planck (about 50€ for the PCB off eBay).

I applaud their effort, we always need more keyboards, but with plenty of variations on Planck and Ergodox and the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard already available, I'm not sure where exactly they'll be able to innovate. The current layout looks very squeezed and like it would require either a lot of hand movement or cramped finger gestures, so I'm not sure what benefits over a standard Tenkeyless or (better yet) a Planck they're going for.
Disclaimer: Still in love with my ErgoDox EZ.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt does look nice but actually I can't hack the music. I had to stop the trailer halfway through.

Same, what awful bawling that was. Muted, it's just a very slow slideshow; really can't get a feel for how this plays or what the themes are (apart from maybe something about a terrible musical karaoke night).

Is SGX actually used in any way on a standard Linux desktop though?
