Quoting: TheRiddickHey I was just saying, don't act like Linux is all roses and daffodils, it has a mountain of issues that need to be addressed before we see those steam statistics budge significantly in a positive way.

People need a real motivation to switch to Linux, to learn something new and to cope with its limitations, including the games not playable. For some, this might be the end of Windows 7 and avoidance of Windows 10, but I don't see a big wave coming here either.

Quoting: TheRiddickTry getting VRR working without odd blinking or other issues, can't.

I wonder about this. I bought a new GPU (Nvidia) and consider getting a VRR compatible monitor.
Can anybody comment on VRR working great / working not so great on Linux with a single monitor?

Linux is no good for most gamers...

Quoting: TheRiddickor do you want to get politically and start smelling your own farts?

... but as long as your not able to discuss this like an adult, I'm not going to discuss this with you.
This is not reddit, and I want it to stay that way.

Quoting: TheRiddickJust keep in mind, if you think MSGS/EGS/GOG-Galaxy not working for Linux is a non-issue, then you ARE NOT A GAMER.

This is a terrible take. If a person only ever plays 3 games from Kongregate, they are still a gamer.

... plus I've got literally thousand of games available from e.g. Steam. If only a person who falls for each and every store could be a gamer, I'd be a happy non-gamer.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyFrankly, those books were a pretty lame gimmick anyway. Or rather . . . it was innovative, kind of, but the whole concept just didn't work well with print. You're looking at a small paperback to start with, and once you've not only divided it up into a bunch of branching storylines and included the directions and whitespace you need for it to be comprehensible, each "story" is bloody tiny. Plus you spend the whole time flipping back and forth. Works way better on computers, and I say that as a lover of print books.

Of course at the time it was basically an attempt to recreate some of the ideas behind paper and pencil roleplaying games, except as something you could do alone. It pretty much failed; even to this day, the most amazing computer game still can't be that much like having a real human game master. But I guess it was better than nothing.

I guess it depends on where you've been coming from. For me, young and with no idea something like pen & paper exists, it was pretty exciting!

I'm happy this dark episodic adventure made it to the end!
(Yes, I'm looking at you, Kentucky Route Zero and Dead Synchronicity...)
Will soon start to play it.

Quoting: GuestNice work. With my skills I couldn't that. I know something about computers and programming but I'm not a professional.:)

This wasn't too hard. :)
But it leaves me with no excuse to forget this Kickstarter. :D

Quoting: GuestWell you don't have an elephant's memory.

I've been the first Linux tester of the demo and have helped fixing the Unity video problems...
