Quoting: MaathI suspect there is an age range demographic to which Life is Strange caters. I tried the free first chapter, but it did not resonate with my memory of high school.

IDK what your high school was like, but mine had nothing to make a game about, so that's maybe a good thing.

It seems to be different for other people, but I don't care when a game with a school setting doesn't remind me of my school time just like I don't care when a dragon slaying game doesn't remind me of anything I have done in reality.

Quoting: PatolaIt's the sad finding that Linux is departing from the mainstream titles for the mainstream public. You might even love the genre, series or title and still find this unsettling. Some of the Total War complaints also had this tone, even though I think (maybe wrongly) the Total War franchise is more mainstream [External Link] than Life is Strange [External Link].

SteamSpy estimates the number of Lis Before the Strom owners to 500,000 - 1,000,000. I bet LiS 1 has more, but I can't find a number except for episode 1 (5M - 10M), which was free. Not too niche in my book.

But more important, "Nobody deserves such punishment." is quite different from "We need more mainstream games."

1) Great!

2) We do need new teasers (for something but being Total War) now.

Quoting: subYet, I'm a really angry at Valve.
Not sure about the legal situation in the US but here (Germany) I'm pretty sure,
that would be a contract that can't be single-sided cancelled in that way.

I'm not sure either, but I read the situation is quite complicated from a legal point of view in Germany. What a company does is the offer to make an offer, you're making an offer to them, ... so you "buying" something is still not a contact from a legal point of view. I'm not sure when the contract is in effect, though.

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: tuubiOf course it's possible, but the "active" adapters are much more expensive than DP to HDMI ones.

Last time I looked for one, it wasn't possible. Do you know any examples?

Does this match?

Quoting: tuubiMy biggest gripe with the graphics is the lack of functioning AA. The game (and ATS too) lets me pick SMAA, but the setting has no effect that I can see. And no matter how much I bump the internal resolution, there's aliasing and moiré effects all over the place.

I don't know about AMD, but for Nvidia, there's an override setting in the driver settings.

Quoting: lqe5433What is the difference between SDL and kernel driver?
Both are needed for a new gamepad to be supported?

SDL should make gamepad access easier for developers.
So, yes, it's better if both support the gamepad in question.

Quoting: rick01457Also, are there any games that have tried a 3D pixel art style? That front page is making me want one.

A Short Hike doesn't look like the front page, but it's pixel 3D (and good!)...

Quoting: chrI saw the "buy" button green (with no "out of stock") message for me 5 minutes ago in Estonia (with 15 eur for shipping). But by now it is out of stock again.

Someone has to write a sniper application for this. :D
