Stupid Linux Steam Tricks #312

November 9, 2019


Is a native game crashing? Would you like a log file? Go into the game's properties and set its launch options to:

script -c "%command%" /home/YOURUSER/log.txt

Make sure that YOURUSER is your actual home directory (obviously), or point the log file path wherever else you want.


w00tage: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition arrives on Linux on November 5th | GamingOnLinux

October 15, 2019


It's been quite a long wait but finally, we're getting a native release for SOTR! :)

The first two Tomb Raider ports from Feral were absolutely perfect, so there's no reason that this one won't be. I'll be picking it up and playing it non-stop on 11/5 after it's been released.

Feral Interactive have finally confirmed the Linux release date for Shadow of the Tomb Raider after announcing it for Linux back in November last year.

Streaming is all the rage now right? How about streaming your PlayStation 4 to your Linux box using Chiaki, a new open source Remote Play client.

OtherOS “Settlement”

"Class Members will be eligible to receive a cash payment up to $65 per valid
claim, the exact amount of which will depend on how many valid claims are submitted."

Actual result: $3.02

It's interesting how, after so many valid complaints, the government does absolutely NOTHING about enforcing any kind of truth-in-advertising laws, and as always, the shark-in-the-caviar-pool approach wins.

Truly, the best way to become rich in the US is by cheating a very large group of people out of something worth a relatively low amount.

Kind of like Kickstarter predators.

Thanks a lot, Sony.

Re-posting this for any friends who might've not heard yet somehow - if you backed for PC+physical release, you'll be getting a copy of the Epic Game Store on a CD with a code to download the game.

We all know that's not a physical release, that's a cop-out - the entire purpose of a physical release is so your game retains its value after the online store even if the store it's from goes away.

My Dreamcast Mue 1 still works. My PS4 Mue3 will still work, long after PSN stops supporting the PS4. (How are those original XBox game downloads doing btw?)


Beta Testing

It's pretty fun to get to try out games before they get released. :)

The next Outbreak:Epidemic update is gonna be quite awesome.
