Quoting: MohandevirWould have been happy to buy Legend of Grimrock II if it came out on Linux... If I remember right it was because of to few resources available. They have a mac build though... Someone to help porting it? Snif!
Anyone has made a list of game series'/developers having supported Linux and not doing it anymore?

Quoting: qptain NemoIf you're into story-driven stuff, The Detail is a very neat solid crime thriller.
I already had a look at it today but was held back from the negative reviews saying it lacks in choices making a difference. It's pratically free, though - 51 Euro Cents here. :) Is this episode 1 self-contained?

Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan.
Google makes out of it:
Finland mentioned, see you at the marketplace.

Wut? :D

Onneksi olkoon!

Here's another way to look at the Linux market share on Steam

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt weirds me out that with the thousands of games around, many of them really good, the statistics can be pulled around so much by one or two top-selling games. Clearly everyone's buying the top game because everyone else is buying the top game, not because it's one they will intrinsically find fun. The mindset unsettles me.
marketing, those AAA games have so much more budget for advertising, nothing more, nothing less.
I don't think so. They are just pleasing many people. Otherwise, they wouldn't buy it a third, a fourth, ... time.

And PUBG, man, it just looks fun! I would totally want to play it!

Quoting: chancho_zombiethen you think I'm just going to shut it off so it stops and it won't let you (please don't turn off your computer).
When Windows, I think it was Windows 98, started to tell "You can shutdown your Computer now", I was joking one day the computers would tell us we must not shutdown them. Well, here we are... ;-)

Quoting: meggermanHad one of those radio moments where you imagine a face to go with the voice and then years later you see the presenter and the face doesn't match the voice :huh:
I know that feeling from many radio moderators. :D

Quoting: Boogiepop_PhantomProbably off-topic, so put it under spoiler.
Spoiler, click me
Quoting: Boogiepop_PhantomAll the most horrible atrocities were commit by states, governments. Look at 20th century and even now. Corporations are little children compared to them.
Well... Companies have never been so powerful. So this might be subject to change.


Sci-fi horror 'SOMA' now has an easier mode to give a different experience

Quoting: ZlopezI played Amnesia, is this something similar?
Yes, but...
SOMA was less exciting in the horror department for some people, but it has some breathtaking moments to an extend Amnesia did not for me (though I loved it!) and the end is way better.

SOMA is absolutely worth playing!
