So you don't play yuri games or just don't feel the need to hide it? ;-)

As a teen, I had a slightly younger neighbour who also had an Amiga and we've been borrowing games from each other. That one time I borrowed Hollywood Poker from his collection and a few days later his dad came knocking that he wanted his game back. :grin: Fortunately I've managed to finish it by then. :whistle:

Quoting: CybolicWell, I tried, but Gleam just kept telling me that they were doing maintenance and asked me to refresh - for an hour, in the middle of the night, for nothing. Great experience; wouldn't do again! :woot:
I guess I'm glad that I forgot about it and went to sleep. :grin:

When the hell is 12:30 AM UTC? :tongue:
Is it 12:30 or 00:30?

PS. I know that it's 00:30, just triggered by the use of AM with UTC. :dizzy:
UTC uses 24-hour clock.

We can fight it but it will come. Fortunately I already have enough human-made games in my library to last me a lifetime.

October 23 Steam Survey: Simplified Chinese rises, Linux and macOS decline

Quoting: enigmaxg2
Quoting: Purple Library GuyAs usual, my takeaway from this kind of thing is, we need to get the Chinese using Linux.
The government is moving in the right direction by ditching Windows and supporting distros like Deepin, OpenKylin, etc.

The problem as you could have guessed, is software, there are lots of programs unavailable on Linux and that's slowing down the process.

Only after the govt switches, there will be a push for general users to switch. That's 5+ years easy.
China's Linux usage on desktop seems to be on par with the global average, even slightly above. The issue at hand is that the steam survey results from China seem to mostly come from Internet cafés, which of course need to use Windows in order to run all games. IIRC that also skewed the results because every computer was counted multiple times or some such?
