Quoting: RCL(P.S. I work for Epic, although here I'm just another Linux gamer speaking privately).

I'm sure you're already aware of some improvements we would like, so I'll just say "Thank you!" here. Can you comment on the reasons for the implementation the article talks about? (Or even any of said possible improvements?)

It's not only coming to Linux, they've even tested it!
Well, some do less, I guess. :)

Quoting: BeamboomBut what do we then call the perspective I thought was called isometric?

"Bird's eye view"?

Quoting: KimyrielleI guess this list points out nicely why we need Proton so badly, and people need to stop bashing it. I don't think we can sell Linux as a viable gaming platform to interested users, if we have to tell them that only 25% of best-selling games work on it. In an ideal world, all games would work on all platforms, but alas, that's not the case. And with our 1% market share, it's not that we'd exactly be in a strong position to tell devs to release native ports.

I understood the theory, I just don't see it happen in reality.

Quoting: Geppeto35I can't understand that those games are not yet translated at least in text using the community. We have google translate and other kind of tools to do that for cheap, and communities ready to check and refine this first translation.
They can get french, spanish, deutch, swedish, etc. in couple of weeks

I won't buy due to that, I can play in english but not my teenager.

I took part in the community effort to translate Wasteland II to German. At least one of the volunteers was very eager, but at the same time his translations were not too good. I ended up playing in English.

Maybe, if you don't know enough English, this is better than nothing. Or maybe it's a chance to learn English?

Quoting: GuestI had heard that, but hearing it from a reliable source like you is relieving to know- I still haven't entirely forgiven GOG, given that they didn't fire that person until the 3rd time they posted something so horrific, but I am more okay with people mentioning GOG now. Thank you for confirming what I had heard, though.

Googling for it, I found this...

Quoting: eldakingYeah, steam tags always were a huge mess. The top selling "Strategy" games are... Counter Strike and a bunch of other shooters. But not to be outdone, Hearts of Iron 4 and several strategy games have the Action tag. RPG is applied to pretty much everything, but somehow misses some very normal RPGs. Which have the Puzzle tag because of some dungeon puzzles, but then some actual hardcore puzzle games are tagged only under Strategy. Look, I know that genres are simplifications and many games are in a gray area... but there has to be a better way.

Reminds me of an article stating that RPG creeped into the other genres - you can't even make a shooter without a basic RPG system...

Quoting: devnull> Frankly, I think that's tin-foil hat level stuff there.

Ohh Liam... poor guy. I give you Red Hat:

Red Hate [External Link]

Red Hat urges the FSF board to seize the opportunity during its current leadership succession by appointing a president and members of its board that are more diverse, including from a national, racial and gender perspective.

Wolves be a circlin kids. Lot of unemployed ex management types who are used to being overpaid PHB's smell blood.

You cut out all context, so I'll put it back in:
"I simply can't understand how it is possible that such companies like MS or Apple can even get a seat at FSF?! Something bad is going on IMHO."

So, how does what you linked refer in any way, shape or form to "such companies like MS or Apple can even get a seat at FSF"? It's about diversity in the FSF.

Quoting: TcheyRebel Cops is nice, but lacks some option (camera rotation, remove auto-tracking camera on action, easy zoom in action etc), and i find it extremely difficult ! Didn't manage yet to win the first mission after the tutorial, the one with the train and the timer. Also having only 3 saves per mission, having turn based quite slow paced, make the redoing again and again when you are as bad as i am, painful.

They're addressing...

They patched a "railroad mission" with two extra turns, did you use this?

(Also, someone in the news discussion mentions a "relaxed mode".)
