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.

Yeah, they're after you. *yawn*

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

Would still appreciate an ignore button for some people.

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...

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...
