Quoting: lucifertdarkSocial Justice Wombats getting their claws into the last place that's been largely free of their toxic influence, looks like gaming is about to get trashed for good like everything else those morons have touched.
I found more insults than arguments in your post. My fault.

Quoting: legluondunetIn a video game we should be able to choose the gender, race, type of creature , hair color ... we want.
Why? Many of the best videogames give you no choice about player character at all. Think about the Half Life, Bioshock or Tomb Raider franchises.
And for all of those, either male or female players are forced to use the another gender.
Like Rust forces half of the people to use the another gender.
If you don't happen to be male, you'll know that feeling for sure.

Quoting: KeyrockSomewhat off-topic, but I wonder how many of the 800 bajillion early access survival games will ever make it out of early access and have a full release? 5%? 3%?
Same here. And I've got the feeling, if it ever happens, most players will be already "through" with it by then.
It seems like you need to use early access if you're into the genre.
How to tell what Steam games work on Linux & SteamOS, steamplay does not mean Linux support

I still wonder if anybody has an example of a game on Steam supporting several platforms but not SteamPlay?

Quoting: liamdaweIf you buy a Steam Play title on Windows, you can play it on Mac and Linux and so on.
... if it happens to be available for Mac or Linux. SteamPlay does not guarantee either.(*)

(*) I know that you know, Liam - hey, you're "liam" again!?! I like that! -, I just want to make it clear for those who don't.

Quoting: HoriSo it's a redundant waste of space... We can already find what other platforms are supported without a repurchase simply by looking a few pixels to the left of that label :D
Erm... no. SteamPlay does not tell you which platforms are supported. It only implies that it will be at least two, beecause otherwise, SteamPlay would make no sense. SteamPlay means that you can buy once and play on all supported platforms without rebuying, that's it, no more, no less.

AFAIR there is at least one game on several platforms that supports several platforms (Win and Mac?) but does not support SteamPlay, but I cannot find it ATM.

Quoting: Mountain ManI thought the Tux icon was perfect, but I understand that Valve has a vested interest in pushing their own branded Linux distro, and I don't have a problem with that. However, they really need to brand their OS with something more distinctive than the generic Steam logo. Something like this:

I like these,
but I like even more Valve betting it's Corporate Identity on LinSteamOS!

Did anyone take a look which game was no. 2000?
Banished Linux port is pretty much complete, OpenGL performing well

Quoting: Avehicle7887I like this guy, a brutally honest dev and likes to write in details. I can see he has taken many things into careful consideration such as OpenGL 3.2 and common Linux libraries which are found in most of today's distros.

10/10 I'm sold.
That sounds interesting, do you have some links you could share?

Quoting: fleskWorks without issues for me. The game is very similar to TIS-100, but much easier so far, and with the trademark Tomorrow Corp. storytelling. I'm enjoying it a lot.
That sounds great - all four of it (works, TIS, easier, Tomorrow Corp)! :D

Quoting: GuestTell me about it, I’ve been programming for nearly 30 years and I’m stuck on level 7 of TIS-100 :(.
:D
30 years of programming here as well. That included some assembler, which probably helped. I couldn't do the sorting algorithm, the last puzzle on the page, no matter how hard I tried. I might revist it these easter days, but I fear my brain is stuck on this one. X)
Want a hint for level 7? (sequence counter or edge detection?)
