I wonder if immunity against Spectre and Meltdown can be built into chips and when the first CPUs having it will be announced.

Anyway, I might replace my i3570K with some Ryzen+ this year.

Wandering through stations! My cup of coffee!

I think the only thing I don't like about them is that their engine is rather motion sickness prone. I got around it with some settings, but the Let's Players of my choice couldn't stand it in Talos Principle...

I didn't play through all of the last Serious Sam, but I guess it will still be a must-buy.

What are your hopes for SteamOS/Steam Machines in 2018?

I don't have any.
It seems SteamOS is more or less in maintanance mode, and companies probably won't do any Steam Machine launches anymore.

Linux release (it's in the descriptions of the categories).

Quoting: facePlantedI've read more than once that to have the game count as a Linux sale (in the Dev statistics), you need to install and run it on Linux within a couple of weeks.
This is what I've been doing with my latest purchases ... even when using the Steam client for Linux to buy the game, I install it immediately and run it for few seconds.
Is this still the case ?

I think you misread that.
When you're buying on Linux (and don't install on Windows), you're fine.
When you buy on Windows (or mobile or whatever), you need to install and run on Linux in the following days/weeks/noone knows for sure to make it a Linux sale.

Over Christmas holidays, I could only play on my wife's notebook, which unfortunately is running Windows. So I bought some little games (The Mooseman, Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet and Thaumistry: In Charms Way) some weeks before and installed and ran them under Linux, in the hope they will count as Linux sales...

Quoting: meggermanLinux gamers can't afford to ditch Valve at this point…

I personally have all the rights to ditch Valve however I want. And Valve can not do anything to me. Because I don't even have Steam account and neither is planning to, ever. :D

Then it's obviously impossible for you to ditch Valve.

Isn't a single one of the over one billion Chineese here to enlighten us a bit about what happens behind the Great Firewall?

Quoting: GuestInvestigate more, see what is really going on. And realise you are not in control of your purchases if using Steam. Valve is.

Mysterious things not to be spoken of, it seems...?
