I'm playing Detention [External Link]. 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

Quoting: De1m0sTo become a real alternative to windows, there must change a lot of things in linux.
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...?

Quoting: AnjuneI grabbed Gnome Home for free on itch.io a while back but never got it to work past the title, loading screen and menu.

I had problems with it because my locale is one with a "floating point comma" (so it's 3,14, not 3.14 here). Don't know if they ever fixed it. If you do as well, here's a workaround:

I had only few invites, so it didn't disturb me, but of course, when you're more "visible" as a user, I understand it might be a pain... somewhere.

Quoting: GuestWhen you open any random history book you can observe that many societies have been sick to the core. Even now, the world is still capitalistic, producing things as fast as possible, destroying the biosphere as fast as we economically can. 50% of the species died in the last 40 years.. This happened in the past when there was a natural disaster. Now human behavior is the core reason. Where is your social justice?

Quoting: GuestAnd please don't blame the politicians. It's the fault of the average human being. It's in our DNA that we follow the general behavior. Because prehistoric humans died when they didn't follow the general behavior. "social justice" isn't inherently good, it's often the oposite.

Your posting seems to be self-contradictory to me. The first half implies social justice is something good which we have not reached to a large extent, which I would agree with, while the second suddenly says social justice isn't inherently good.

Quoting: BoldosYep, I'm missing a Linux/SteamOS icon too in the Steam client, so not released for Linux yet?

How dare you talking about the actual game in question? ;)

It's available for Linux, but as they've got launch problems on SteamOS, they didn't yet mark it as such:

(Didn't see that in the article. If I didn't just miss it, it should be added.)

Quoting: EikeYou were using "social justice" as something negative, which is, sorry to say, plain stupid.
Social is good and important, justice is good and important.

To be fair, that term has come to refer to those who are bigoted while purporting to be anti-bigoted, but of course it often gets used by bigots to mud sling against anyone who is actually anti-bigotry which may or may not be the case here.

We should not let them get through with giving "social justice" a new, bad meaning. It's something inherently good, and if they are to point out bigotry or something else bad, they should call it like this. (Which in the course, as you pointed out, would make it much harder to apply the word to Gone Home).

Funnily enough, social justice is often blamed not by people who would suffer from more social justice, but by ordinary people who could actually benefit from what they are debasing.
