Quoting: SeegrasNo matter if I agree with your understanding of the word, there's extremism that everybody should frown upon and that we should not call mainstream for whoever.Quoting: EikeYou're talking about something completely different. "Extremism" per se just means you have in some area a position that goes far beyond what most people think even as outlying.Quoting: SeegrasYour extremism is somebody elses mainstream. And "not giving extremism a platform" is thus nothing else but an extremist position in itself.Really?

Karl Popper about the problem ( "paradox of tolerance" ):
Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI don't get this problem.Well, I followed the new releases filtered by OS for quite some time - and stopped doing so...
Whenever I go to Steam, I simply don't see any of these shovelware games outside of the "new releases" tab. I rarely to never have them suggested to me in the queue, they do not appear in my front page suggestions and they certainly aren't recommended by curators I follow.

Quoting: TheRiddickIf a government wants to install anything into your brain/head/body, just don't mkay!Just (get a time machine and) ask people from 30 years ago what they think about carrying a device around all the time telling others where you are...
I see allot of sci-fi movies and stuff these days with people putting lots of hack-able and exploitable stuff in their body, people of the future sure seem ultra naive!

Quoting: kaimanI used to, when they still made P&C adventures. Oh well, I like them for their continued Linux support and some of the stuff they publish these days is decent too. From the list above I got the Deponia games (of course!) and Caravan. I hear that Shadow Tactics is really excellent, just not my cup of tea. I like it laid back and relaxed ...Do fetch Anna'a Quest then! It's such a nice, slightly dark but still lovely story... (Be prepared for minor bugs.)
A new Rise of the Tomb Raider patch is out for the Linux version

Quoting: GuestWhat would be great is a frame limiter. I’m waiting for that to play the game in good conditions. Vsync causes big slowdowns when the game runs below 60 FPS, and no vsync causes microstuttering above 60 FPS.This libstrangle thingy doesn't help?

But it seems the game is not as close to the hell/pandemonium topic as I thought.

Quoting: GuestDOOM (2016) - Great to have on Linux but it's from Bethesda. As others have pointed out, Bethesda is very capable of doing the port themselves but Zenimax (holding company) is just so anti-Linux.If I'd be a Linux head having my child Doom run on Linux, but my bosses not agreeing to actually publish it, I might go to them and tell them about this porting company to make it a no risk port...

Quoting: ageresAgony would be the first Feral port I have never ever heard of before the port.Quoting: BeamboomIt's almost guaranteed not to be Agony [External Link]. Why? Cause it is SLAYED by the reviews. Feral has, as far as I can recall, never ported a game with really bad reviews apart from the first F1 title (F1 2015).What if they started working on this port long ago and couldn't have known the game is going to be bad?
