Quoting: liamdaweTheir reply to me was...interesting [External Link] "It? So you think it's just one thing?" :D
Well, if it would be like famous "one more thing"... ;-)

Life is Strange: Before the Storm is now officially available on Linux

Quoting: rkfgIf you completed the game, there's collector's mode. It allows to play any episode and even choose a starting scene. The only difference is that your choices aren't recorded but we don't need that.
Ah, cool! Will be some days at least until I get there, though. :-)

Quoting: rkfgThe game has just been updated, could that be the bugfix? Eike, can you test it?
I don't know how, I's not like the game is having save slots. And I wouldn't want to play through whole episode two again at the moment. Sorry.

Quoting: ColoneilGame refunded, they should change that "Out now for MacOS and Linux" to "Out now for MAcOS and Ubuntu"...
It works fine on my Gentoo box.
... on my Debian as well, no problems (except the place where Windows is having troubles, too).

What even more developers think of Valve's Steam Play

Quoting: scainePresumably just a different QA process. They'll need to check it doesn't break any of the whitelisted titles. I suppose it's weird that it hasn't hit the beta channel though.
I don't know if this already has been discussed, but the option page seems to suggest that Steam is keeping different versions for different games (a bit like PlayOnLinux)...

Quoting: ElvanexI was so annoyed, I didn't even let it run the update. I just powered off, and nuked it from my system, never to touch it again.
Rage quitting the OS. :-D

SC Controller driver and UI version 0.4.5 is out, last release for a while

Quoting: scaineWeird that no-one is talking about Torvalds open letter either. This CoC isn't being forced on him against his will. His letter openly acknowledged the need for such a CoC and he admits that he's a shining example of why it's needed. He talks about the personal attacks he's made over the years and admits they're wrong.
Thanks for pointing out! This is actually the first time I've heart about this discussion (Though such stuff has been discussed in length in Debian MLs as well.), and that's an interesting information.

Quoting: lucifertdarkWhat's HIS real name?
Should we care? I don't know the name you were born with, or more importantly, what you've got in your pants. Does that mean you're evil?
Doesn't HIS/HE usually signify The Lord Above? Which is a strange question especially when asked by Lucifer, HIS old acquaintance...

Quoting: rkfgFrom the stacktrace, it must be something wrong with resource deallocation. The crash happens in the multimap destructor. So if you turn the settings down the game might not load or use the offending DeferredSkinningOperation (which probably means "animation" ). The good thing is that if this is fixed, the Windows players would also benefit. I'd like to read about this issue if Feral solve it.
Maybe it's a texture you either shouldn't look at or that should be loaded low-res...

I got no idea what you want to say me. Or somebody else.
