Quoting: EMO GANGSTERis it just me or does the download seem faster on this or is it just in my head
I had the downloads usually use my full 55 mbps, so I'm not expecting anything on this front. :)

Quoting: SchattenspiegelStill taking ages to start the client. Wish they would at least add a a banner or something to indicate the client is loading.
Still wonder why this is the case for some and for some others not...
Might be raw single core power. Whatever it does the first minute or so it only seems to utilize one core at a time.
I've got below 10 seconds I think. My processor (Ryzen 3700X is it) cannot be that stronger. :D

Quoting: idk-manI absolutely hate this new design (talking about the oversimplifying Trend) Why can’t they just leave things as they are or at least give people the chance to change to the original design.
Well... They weren't good. I mean, from a usability perspective. If I understood correctly, I can now define the download queue with drag and drop, while before, I had to push the up arrow on the games in order... but in reverse order. Same for library places: The new interface can do more. And in my humble opinion, it also looks better, but well, that's just taste, isn't it?

Quoting: GuestI do worry that the Deck was oversold on that idea of 100% comparability.
This. People will be disappointed.

Quoting: ixnariYeah, I had a feeling you'd be keen to look at it. That was awful, sorry.
I wish I had something to show in return, but nothing coequal comes to my mind. :D

Where is Commander Keen?

Probably in recovery after going through this shit. Thankfully, Zenimax seems to have scrubbed every mention of this "game", so Keen might get a remake yet!

What the hell did I just watch? Please tell me that's not actually an upcoming game?
Answering very, very late, but: thankfully, no. It was upccoming game at some point, but the backlash was too much (thank goodness) and they've scrapped the project.
Oh my godness, why did you make me so curious to look at this... this... THIS?!?

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion restored full Linux support in the latest update

I read by one developer after they released the Linux version with delay that they had fought with setting executable rights in a zip file for Linux. You might find this sad by itself, but my point is: The little indies really should ask for help when needing some to make a Linux version. Many of us a helpful and grateful.

Developer of the cosmic-horror RPG 'Death Trash' shows off some sales per-platform

Quoting: TheRiddickHow long/big is this game meant to be? I've heard people say they beat the EA in around 4hrs which is ultra short even if its not full content yet! (heard EA was like 75% of the game).
20 hours has been mentioned as far as I remember.
