The Linux port of Banished is still alive, the developer plans their next game to launch cross-platform on day-1

I don't care about Banished too much, but it sure sound like his next project has a good chance to see light on multiple platforms!

Quoting: KuJoWhy are other companies and games able to support this? (*head shaking*)
Which ones? Feral had (has?) its share of problems with AMD support as well...

Quoting: sasannGreat. Another sub-par, Nvidia only port. Pass.
Such comments make me want a dislike button.

Which game was it they added official AMD support to months after the Linux release lately?

I don't like the optics of Project Zomboid in general, but these maps actually look nice.

A note about security after a possible security issue was discovered

Quoting: EikeWhile disclosing security concerns publicly without having communicated privatly before is obviously not the optimal thing to do, it's still probable that the guy on IRC made the website more safe, not more unsafe.
I’ll go light a fire in your wood house so then you’ll thank me for having shown you that is was not safe, eh?
It's more like giving a lit match to someone next to petrol :P
The analogy has more flaws, as the owner of the wooden house already knows that it could burn and you didn't know about the security problem. As said: It's safer now, and it wouldn't be if he wouldn't have looked at the sources.

This analogy totally makes sense...

Stellaris 1.5 will allow you to accept refugees, but it has upset some people

Quoting: ColomboDo you have even a slight idea how it actually worked in communist regimes?
I happen to live in Germany (Western, though), so yes, I do a little.
EU policy is capitalistic, not marxistic, as shown.
Linking Wikipedia articles and images or asking rhetorical questions won't change that.

Quoting: Colombout look closely at EU (or recently at UN) leading people. A lot of them are marxists, or at least they were quite active in communist party when they were younger.
Yes. That's why EU forced Greece to raise taxes, raise wages, raise pensions and nationalize their airports.

Or so they would have if they were by any means socialists or marxists. In reality, they did the opposite.

Yes, Feral gets more money when buying directly from them!
