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
4 Dec 2017 at 10:15 am UTC

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!
If you didn't get it yet... Get it!

NVIDIA has confirmed a driver bug resulting in a loss of performance on Linux
30 Nov 2017 at 8:13 pm UTC

Quoting: EhvisThey're not saying they'll fix it in next release. They stated it would contain a workaround because they have not yet identified the cause.
I'm reading this as they will undo the change that showed the problematic behaviour and will fix the bug and redo the change then later.

Point & Click adventure game Black Mirror now available on Linux

Quoting: GuestI bought it at release but got a refund because the mouse pointer was sluggish (and the framerate in general too). Has it been fixed?
I had this with some adventure games due to my gaming mouse. Found a fix somewhere in the Steam forums. Maybe it's the same for you and this game?

It seems quite some Steam reviews are negative due to the controls. :-(
I hope they improve them, I was looking forward to playing this!

The scenario is appealing to me, but sorry to say, it looks like This War of Mine in ugly...

Quoting: razing32Weren't a large portion of the original migrants to the US from Germany ?
I think that might have something to do with it , no ?
I think so. I even heard that the decision between English and German as the country's language was a close one. (Not sure about that.)

Quoting: EikeGesundheit! (*)

(*) My dictionary says this would be used at least in the US - is it?
Yep, US-only as far as I know. In Britain, it's more common to say 'bless you' after someone sneezes. But not as a note of sympathy for someone who has a cold! If you did that, you would just sound very old fashioned and religious! :D
*lol* You're right. In an old habbit I'm saying "Gesundheit!" (translates to "(I wish you) health!" ) to people who are ill, forgetting that it's usually only used (here in Germany as well) when someone's sneezing. :)

One more question: I guess saying "Bless you!" when someone's sneezing is not strongly connected to religion nowadays?
