We Happy Few to release on Linux after the full release, not during Early Access

Quoting: scaineI believe the whole project is late, not really specific to Linux support. Might be wrong, but they're not even at full release yet and I think they always planned Linux for after that.

Ah, I thought they would have released long time ago. Well, that's at least good news from Linux port point of view, I guess. :o)

Quoting: ShmerlCompulsion are only going to start working on Linux support soon. Hopefully some interesting update is coming.

Well, that's late. (I always fear such late ports will result in bad sale numbers and thus in a lower probability of later ports.) Thanks for sharing!

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?

Have at least two fully enhanced, fully equipped snipers optimized for long-range combat ready. At least!

Quoting: wojtek88So recently I've finished Pillars of Eternity + White March Part 1 and 2. According to Steam it took me 195 hours, however I don't know how the time was measured (sometimes I left game and Steam running while leaving home).

As long as the game has not been stopped, it counts as play time.

Yes, it does look strange, but it's big fun.

I'm playing Detention. It reminds my of Cat Lady: Rough optics, very dark atmosphere and not great gameplay-wise. But while I stopped playing Cat Lady after half an hour or so, I'm continuing with Detention. I fear I won't get all those arty dark scenes, though. Which is probably my fault.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoHow much this game costs in your country?
The GOG version of this game in Argentina costs 11.39U$D (including Event0 for free) and the Steam/itchio version, 19.99U$D...

...I just bought the GOG version, by the way.

19,99€ on Steam in Germany

I'm linux-user since 2 years, and i'm still wondering some times, how software is released. Often, you can't simpy download anything and install; no, you should compile that dumb shit before you can install and use it. This is something, you can't sell to any "normal"-pc-user, and this is something, that let other people say, linux is for freaks only.

I can't remember having compiled Linux software (which I didn't write on my own) for years.
AFAIR, my distribution is providing 70.000 packages...
Furthermore, I once made a comparison how many steps you need to install three open source programs on Linux and on Windows. Windows needed way more steps.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumNext up prevent spam friend requests. I get so many requests from random windows users it's not funny. Who wants windows users as friends? Not me!

Obviously, friend requests couldn't be restricted to friends only. :D
Maybe (like the feature of Facebook) to friends of friends, or to members of the same group or something.

Quoting: AnjuneThanks, LC_ALL=C makes it work! Should know by now to try that one...

Does anybody know why this doesn't seem to happen on Windows (they would have cought it if it would)?
Windows surely should have the same localized string to float algorithms...?
