I wonder if that's a clever idea from a business perspective. Either you find good games to play and don't need new ones, or you're ashamed of your stack and avoid buying new ones, no? Stack of shame is part of their business...

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyMicrosoft makes no secret about just how much of your personal information it tracks intimately within its software, almost all of which cannot be deactivated unless you have a "volume" license.

I wouldn't be here if I were a fan of them. Though I fear there's worse companies nowadays...

Quoting: jarhead_hHonestly, I think that a good number of people are starting to think that Bill Gates really is evil afterall,

Mostly tinfoil heads, lately.

Quoting: BotonoskiKinda fixed that particular issue by catagorizing my games into 3 collections: Finished, Unfinished, and Unfinishable (typically multiplayer games or endless games like Tetris).
Has catagorizing my games like this helped me in anyway towards finishing more games in my Steam library? Absolutely not.

I've got played through, given up upon, unplayed and try again some day.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI dunno . . . I spend large parts of my life doing things I'd rather not be doing just so I won't have to experience what it's like to actually be homeless.
I do applaud the game's objectives though.

The advantage is you can stop this at any time. (You literally don't have to experience.)
Maybe its like This War of Mine - giving you feelings for a short time you never want to have for real.

Quoting: tuubiSimple merging and page shuffling you can achieve easily with pdfshuffler. It has no editing features, but it does what it says on the tin and it does it intuitively. Just drag and drop files and pages, then save the result.

Thank you so much! That's going to be very handy. I just went to install it, turns out my distro has it already installed and I never noticed the thing.

For those who wonder: At least Debian has replaced it by the fork "pdfarranger" (but has a compatibility package with the old name).

Quoting: salamanderrakePeople complaining about UE4 on Linux are just mostly mad about UT3 not being ported to Linux and can't just let it go and move on.

Not at all. I heard there's several games made with Unreal.

Quoting: HoriIn any case, I am looking forward for better Linux support. There were issues that led me to switch to Windows for VR gaming and keep Linux for regular gaming. I'm gonna try it again on Linux one of this days and see if I can "reclaim the lost ground" and bring those games back to my Linux drive... after I solve the storage space issues, ugh.

I read very positive (to avoid "ecstatic" :D ) voices lately here.
I'm interested in your views when you revisit VR on Linux.

Quoting: EikeI really like modesty, but making a 1.0 after what feels after a decade of usefulness seems to be too much for me.

My two favourite examples:

• 0 A.D. [External Link] is still pretending to be an alpha. It started as a Age of Empires Ⅱ mod in 2001, the current engine is libre software since 2009.


• WINE [External Link] reached 1.0 when it had already been in development for 15 years.

I looked up GIMP, but that had it's 1.0 in 1998. It might have been WINE what I remembered so vaguely.

Quoting: MnolegOnce I played the Zork trilogy via Frotz [External Link], It was an amazing blast from the past. I look forward to another idle period to continue with Enchanter.
