QuoteLater this month, Kentucky Route Zero will finally be a finished story, seven years after the release of the first part.

... and over three and a half after the last (fourth) one. :O

Quoting: BielFPsUsually I would agree with you, but games usually require fresh updates (specially with graphic drivers),and while I think Debian is a great distro (since I use at work) they have the habit of not update anything that's not a security issue (even minor bugs/glitches) until a major release, and this is bad for our case as we may have some minor performance issue in some specific game with some specific card and drive version, that need a specific fix in the newest drivers release, etc.

Sure they can backport those packages if necessary, but I think mixing old packages with new packages can be more problematic than just downgrade a faulty package if needed.

For Nvidia, I can assure its not a problem, I even use experimental every now and then. The driver is so seperated from the rest of the system you can just drop in the other version. Kernels usually get backported, and I think that's also the case for Mesa?

If you want something more rolling, you could still use Debian testing. With all the quality assurance needed for something like SteamOS though, I'd probably stick with something stable with very selected updates.

Quoting: 14I did not know there was a safe mode. Now, I'm curious. I'll look into this with SOMA. I do not like horror or creepy games.

I don't know what it does. I think beast is still there, but cannot kill you or something. It still will be creepy, but... there's stuff to be seen, decisions to be made, and the ending...!

Quoting: Liam DaweFrictional is a small privately owned indie company from Sweden, with only a few staff. Just because the quality of a recent game or two has been quite high, doesn't make them not indie.

Wow, Wikipedia mentions 16 employees.
Amazing what they are doing!

Quoting: EikeIf EA develops and publishes a 100M$ production, is it indie?

Well, if it did, it would be a very high production value Indie. That's where the name comes from, isn't it? "Independent".

However EA usually uses its main brand (EA) as a publisher and its various sub-brands/studios (Bioware, Respawn Entertainment, DICE, etc.) as developers, so their games aren't "indiependent".

So, would you call it "indie" or would you not?

I sure wouldn't...

Quoting: EikeWould SOMA qualify as indie?

Why wouldn't it? Frictional developed and published it themselves.

If EA develops and publishes a 100M$ production, is it indie?
IMHO, indie is (also?) a production value question.
I'd have seen SOMA above most indies with this respect, but I'm not sure.

By the way, because I saw the tag "indie game".
Would SOMA qualify as indie?

Quoting: NeoTheFoxYeah, some was on a whole other level, but I loved their games since Penumbra series. Consider me hyped, it's gonna be interesting to see what they cooked up.

Somehow unfortunately, I stared with Amnesia, which, while far from being perfect, was an amazing experience. I couldn't get into Penumbra anymore after that.

Quoting: PangaeaWindows IS still going in the wrong direction. Long may it continue.

But why tho?
What is the reason we "hate" Windows? Is it just because, or is it because it's going in a wrong direction?

Wouldn't it be better for everyone if it just started to go in a good direction instead?
Of course this is not likely to happen, but it's a valid question.

I for one wouldn't care for Linux growth if Windows would be a decent, non-spyware OS. Tho that doesn't mean I'd switch, far from it.

Yes, it's a valid question for sure.

Windows drove me away from Windows, but Linux made me stay at Linux.
Now I would want Linux to gain traction, which is easier as long as Windows s*cks.
Which would also help open source.
I'm not sure that's 100% rational, though. :)
