Quoting: PeciskBut as regarding these bad posts it is worth politely contact media and inform them if they got something wrong.
I did for c't, pointing out the driver problem.

Quoting: toorThe most famous french video game website also just released an article about how "failure steam is with linux". Claiming that it's not going well at all and will disappear.
Do you think microsoft is getting major video game medias to give a bad image of steamOS ? :þ
I'll never ever believe they would take money for such artices, but I do need to mention:
Renowned German (paper) computer magazine "c't", AFAIK the computer magazine with most subscribers in whole Europe, has written a slating review about "disastrous" XCOM 2 Linux port (they've use the bad nvidia driver...):

Microsoft's latest tactics show Gabe Newell of Valve was right to worry

Quoting: StyromaniacI'm not worried even though they're buying exclusives. Vulkan, open source philosophy, Windows frustrations abound, and HTC Vive have entered the fray. Need I say more?

"OS: Windows 7 SP1 or newer."
Yeah, a current Linux is newer, but I don't think the mean it like that...

Breaking the fourth wall is ok, funny somtimes, though I feel Poki overdoes it - but it shouldn't be (secret) part of a puzzle.

BTW, of Metal Gear, I only played the original Metal Gear 1 and 2 on my MSX back then. :)

Quoting: EikeI wonder if I will play that with my better half. Sure will make her cry...
Firewatch is also a good "couples" kind of game.
Yeah, I had this in mind as well, especially as she loves nature. I just guess that she'll tell me that real nature is just more... real. :) When we're at couples games: Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a different kind, but big fun as well!

Quoting: Segata SanshiroSome were hard, but I've played tougher P&C games, especially some of the older ones where there weren't things like hotspot indicators.
The one where Rufus forgot the password due to the noise was totally unfair and IMHO the worst puzzle I ever met in about 30 years of adventure gaming (including goats). The rest was fine with me.
