We're the highlight

I liked these lines from the last announcement:

Two special highlights from the post-launch period were:

• Noticing that macOS and Linux gamers really appreciated having native versions of the game to play.

There's developers out there, many, I think, that are not only counting the numbers (they have to do this, too!), but are humans who like appreciation of their work. Be nice.

Quoting: BeamboomMy very first impression (disclaimer: Have only owned it for 24 hours yet!) is that it works much, MUCH better than expected and what I was prepared for.

Sounds very good! What are you using, the full Valve VR hardware bundle?

A game magazine wrote its probably the last chance for PC VR. If exclusives are selling systems, what bigger franchise could there be on PC than HL? And it seems it did take off...
I will take a look into buying A VR system though I didn't even play any HL before (for more than an hour).

German computer magazine c't has done reserach about this. They often found fps not to vary greatly, but frame times (99% best) to get smoother with more cores.

Quoting: fleskBefore I bought it, I thought it would be similar to Good Job! or Moving Out, ie. simple puzzles with focus on destruction. However, the description on the store page is a better description of what the game is, a "physics-based escape room puzzle".

And off to wishlist it goes!
Thanks!

Quoting: yahyaFan control by pressing Fn+F5 is the best thing I can get, which works on Linux :wink:

Fans being controlled automatically is the best thing I can get.

I think you don't get how this fan control behaves.
The fans are still controlled automatically based on current workload. But they do have speed limits on each mode.
Before using this driver [External Link], it seems my laptop fans stay at normal mode, so they won't reach their maximum speed :(
Yes, sometimes I need my laptop fans to work at their maximum speed on heavy workload. But they are noisy. I don't want them to react sensitively when I don't need them to be.

In short, fan control is a compromise between automatic and manual fan speed settings.

I think I still don't get it.

Is it that you're not allowed to set a suitable curve,
or do you actually want the fans to react differently on the same load/heat at different times?

Quoting: tuubiHave you considered that maybe they block you because they find you annoying, not because they disagree with you? How is blocking a source of irritation a negative thing, if that's all you are to them?

For me, there's stuff worth an answer, stuff worth at least thought and (lots of) stuff I just ignore. And then there's - as said, very seldomly - stuff that is not worth an answer and in the same time annoying (and not the first time so). I think it's mostly the tone where you can already tell that an answer would be totally fruitless. The tone of "everybody who thinks or feel differently is stupid". The tone that tells people that someone will not even consider to reconsider.

Quoting: RoosterThere is no real point to the word "gamer". When you say: I'm a gamer, what are you trying to really say? That you like to play video games? Or that you often play video games? Then just say, I play video-games. It's more descriptive and clear at the same time.

I like to listen to music, but I don't refer to myself as musicer.
I like to watch movies, but I don't refer to myself as watcher.
In the same way, I don't see the need to refer to myself as gamer, unless I want to feel elitist, or part of some jerk-cycle.

The word "gamer" is well established:
a person who plays games especially : a person who regularly plays computer or video games [External Link]
I want to say with the word what it means according to dictionaries.
Not too unusual, right?
