Steam News :


DistroWatch.com: SteamOS


http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=steamos




  • Itsa real boy




 


It begins…


http://store.steampowered.com/




  • Whole lot of shite I already own




  • Portal 2 would be a nice X-mas present.




    • That and the Stanley Parable.   Dear god I want to play that game






 


Somebody learned about the Stem box


http://store.steampowered.com/app/214420/




  • Still crashes at launch if you’re not using the proprietary drivers: Fatal error in __driConfigOptions line 1, column 0: unknown encoding.




    • Looks deliberate to me.




    • I’m guessing they never tested it because reasons.




    • Crashes on F20 w/Nvidia 331.20.   Fun stuff






 


Dust: An Elysian Tail


http://store.steampowered.com/app/236090/




  • Ported by Flipitibitijibitibjo




  • Made my pad rumble





  • The FKR saved my progress from the DRM version.




  • Actually a pretty fun little side scrolling beat’em up, furries or no




  • Fuck that Navi character though.    Seriously




    • ^






  • Will have to take it for a spin, eventually. So far only Wine games have made my Dual Shock rumble.




 


DN4E on Linux


http://store.steampowered.com/app/25000/




  • Damn, Was excited for a moment.




  • It’s been in development for over 5 years. Not hating but the graphics look primitive in 2013.




  • I actually kind of liked Lugaru, but this seems a wee expensive




  • 7Gigs, alpha Lugaru with shinier graphics/physics for €25… Nope!




 


DotA 2 officially out


http://www.dota2.com/thebetaisover/



  • Nation in shock


  • New players have to be queued up to balance the load on the servers. This way people who played the beta before get uninterrupted access to the game.




  • You two heathens don’t care, but this is Valve’s money maker game! Even though the TF2 hat economy keeps things going, DotA2 is their one big scale community game.




    • Yeah, because that Steam store thingy  is loosing wet stinky left and right.




    • And I suppose it is yet another reason for people who keep saying they’re gonna ditch Windows to not get around to doing that






 


Not The Robots!


http://store.steampowered.com/app/257120/




  • Best Roguelike Stealth Furniture Eating Simulator you’ll play all year. 





News:


Calculator drivers


http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/amdcatalyst13-12linreleasenotes.aspx




  • dkms fails to build by default. Got it working with a kludgy hack I refuse to share because it’s horrible. (basically replace kcl_acpi.c file in 13.12 with the one in 9.4 beta)




  • Driver isn’t even listed in Linux page, to download it you need to run:  wget –referer=’http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86′ http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.zip




  • Ogre3D games still segfault at launch.




  • From reading the posts regarding the much promised performance improvements in DotA2, that’s an outright fabrication as well.




  • Nope!




????????

That thing 8


https://www.humblebundle.com/




  • Really? All games have a Linux version?! Humble, are you feeling alright?




  • Gemini Rue doesn’t appear on Steam for Linux yet.




    • ITDOESNOW






  • Hero Academy needs proprietary drivers to work.




  • Holy shit! The Weekly bundle also features an all Linux compatible roster.




  • Quick! Someone divide by 0 to restore the status quo!




  • Shame its mostly games that everyone owns already.   Remember the days when humble would actually get people to try and port their games




    • And it wasn’t that long ago either. HiB5 included some really awesome games.






 


Wayland support just landed in SDL2


http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/4fc5f66d63cc




  • MIR IS THE FUTURE




 


Scraps gets kicked ..started


http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nition/scraps-customisable-vehicle-combat-for-windows-mac?ref=home_location




  • 7k Kiwi dollars above their original goal, including paypal donations!




  • Linux version tested only on Ubuntu. But the 0.2.8 alpha builder demo works fine on the calculator.




 


No MineTwitch for Linux


http://blog.twitch.tv/2013/11/minecraft-broadcasting-now-in-open-beta/




  • “Linux support is currently not planned due to licensing issues surrounding the encoding software.â€




    • WAT?




    • Don’t ship the H264 component.




      • What about that Cisco Open sourced H264 Implementation?






    • Really, good fk mothering luck finding a Linux boxen without ffmpeg or gstreamer.








  • If a high-functioning alcoholic (I know a guy) can figure this out INHISSPARETIME so can you.




  • There is no technical reason for noping out of this.




 


Mage Rage (thanks Gustavo)


http://www.indiedb.com/games/mage-rage




  • “Mage Rage is a First Person Puzzle Platformer set in a world of magic and mystery, where not even the fourth wall can protect you from the alcohol infused shenanigans of the College of Sandy-Crack and its intoxicated inhabitants.â€




    • Bitchin’!




      • Or it would be if it wasn’t 64bit only! Nowhere in the indiedb page is a mention that the Linux version is 64 bit only.






    • It certainly feels like a wizard frat house.    Gotta re-use that pizza box model






 


warspear-online


http://warspear-online.com/en/home




  • On Android this was pretty fun. For a PC game I don’t think the hippy pixel graphics do it any favors.




  • It’s similar to SEYKEN, only with more microtransactions.

Hate Mail:


Starbound review


http://slexy.org/view/s2ztrj8KTz




  • I think we struck a nerve on this one.






  • Soo you have a problem with some blokes who review games /w lawn chairs?




  • “Your worst review yet†tells me you have watched a few (thanks for that)




    • Seriously doubt it’s our worst review.   Did you even watch Secret of the Magic Crystals?






  • Interesting place to draw the line. Did we piss on your new favourite game?




  • OH WAIT! WE DID! \:D/




  • I dub thee, SlimmyDimmy.




    • He’s a youtube commenter.  He’s already one by definition






  • From where I’m sitting, the only ones that would look like “offensive idiots†would be us.




  • The fact that you’re including yourself means there’s probably a part of you that agrees with what we said.




  • You look like you’re projecting so hard, you could aim yourself at a wall and run a slideshow presentation.




 


Dem mics be takin’ screen real estate!


http://slexy.org/view/s2fX4ZDpr9


 


Your offer


http://slexy.org/view/s20xwERdpd




  • So… You’re asking for money to recreate the game in an engine that doesn’t allow monetization? Does the word IRONY mean anything to you?




 


From Mother Russia


http://slexy.org/view/s20Y3xF5Uh




  • Thanks for the Jagged Alliance Collector’s Bundle comrade.




  • Well fuck all if I want your sloppy seconds




  • Hm, so what does this one have that Running With Rifles doesn’t, besides turn-based yawn sauce?
