Quoting: liamdaweWhat I can probably do is include a few of the projects in the tagline to help. The title too possible although titles still need to remain short.
Maybe you could (ab)use the picture.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThis should be the standard behaviour in the software development world... Progress don't take weekends or vacations...
Please tell me that you didn't think long about this. AND that you're working seven days a week for your employer.

Quoting: 14The downside to kid games is Steam. It's annoying for my kids and myself when Steam decides to forget your password and then they can't log in until I am available. If I can get over that, I might pick this game up someday. For now, my kids are occupied enough with the couple games they have. I don't need to introduce them to the idea of video game backlogs at this stage. :wink: I wish my game collection didn't cause me decision paralysis.
You can create them their own account(s?) and use family sharing or buy the game for their account.

Quoting: skinnyrafI used to run unstable/experimental in Potato/Woody times, then got older and switched to testing. Now I don't have enough time to play, not to mention tinkering, so it's stable, with backports when I want some excitement :)
Same here! :-D
Still got my hamm CDs (bought in a Linux friendly bookstore) at the shelf. :-)

Quoting: skinnyrafI hope they'll update drivers in SteamOS just as fast.
Meanwhile, Debian is stuck with 390.
Experimental is not as evil as it sounds and has got 396.54 at the moment:

I did install from experimental several times and didn't run into problems.
Of course: no guarantee.

Quoting: adwamslayerI've finally been able to compose myself and play Anmesia: The Dark Descent. I think I got it on sale or in a humble bundle a fair while ago. Now i'm into it, i'm quite enjoying it due to the atmosphere and story. Just wish I played it sooner!
Headphones and in the dark, everything else will be less "fun" than possible! :)

PS: Envying you.

Quoting: devnullYa know, it didn't even occur to me to check gitlab *sigh*. Thank you.
Me neither at first. The suspicious thing I found was here on the lower right:

"IF_MS_BUYS_GITHUB_IMMA_OUT"

It's a bit erasing ones traces having a move and the renaming so close together...

Quoting: CorbenA while ago I read about a tool to backup your Steam savegames: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/02/steam-linux-backup-tool-slsk [External Link]
Did anyone try that? When trying betas it might a good idea to backup the savegames with a tool like this.
Haven't tried it myself yet though.
DMCA'd? Appears gone from github now. Anyone have a mirror?

Finally, a question! What have you been playing this week and what do you think about it? I'm still completely hooked on Rocket League. If you fancy playing with me, do add me on Steam.
I need to give up on the last two instruction count optimizations in 7 Billion Humans (one in the highest, one in the lowest tier) to keep my good mood, I fear.

Playing Rumu today instead.

If you enjoy these weekly posts to roundup a few loose ends, do let me know so I will continue them.
I think it's a good format for the things missed over the week!

Quoting: baccilusIs there a steamplay curator on steam itself? I know about SPCR.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/1734336452596897848/ [External Link]

But AFAIR they found that a curator cannot recommend more than one thousand games.
