Yeah, they're after you. *yawn*

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

And no, "independent" doesn't make anything better (or worse).

Would still appreciate an ignore button for some people.

At least three jokes?!?
Instabuy! ;)

No, seriously:
This looks interesting!

Quoting: Guest(That reminds me of "The Cat Lady", a supposedly great game that I found totally unplayable and terrible.)
Wow, finally a kindred soul. I thought I was the only one (by the number of downvotes to my negative review ;-).
Didn't find it playable either. I love touching stories, but the game must allow me to actually experience them...

The Long Dark officially leaves Early Access tomorrow, check out their launch trailer

Quoting: ShmerlGood, without story mode it was somewhat lacking.
I'd be interested with full story mode, but it only has parts of the story at the moment, it seems...

Unfortunately, people being wrong on the internet are sometimes influencing our real lifes.

Quoting: michaTo be fair, SteamOS as a (console) OS feels indeed quite dead if you look at its user base (roughly 1% of all Linux gamers and Linux itself is around 1% on PCs, right?).
I wondered were you had the 1% of Linux gamers from. Figured out you meant SteamOS itself, seperated from all other "Linuces". Never counted it that way.

Same here...

Some things developers might want to think about when bringing a game to Linux

Quoting: gqmeloI worked on a company that developed OpenGL applications and using this approach we were able to build on CentOS 5 and run on Ubuntu 16.10, for example. That's 9 years of backward compatibility.
How much work was it to follow all security problems, update the statically linked binaries and ship them for nine years...?

Shadow of Mordor is currently 80% off and free to play for a few days

An incredible experience from start to finish, I completed it and really wished there was more! The Nemesis system really makes things interesting with the Uruk leaders gaining power each time they defeat you. I think it's probably one of the most fun enemy mechanics in any game and really helps you stay interested, it also makes the battles constantly tense.
The most important part for me was not them getting stronger, but them remembering you. It gives so much more life to the game.

I'm hoping sales of it have been good enough for Feral Interactive to port the new Shadow of War that's due out this year, as it looks amazing.
Pleeease!
