More Updates From Aspyr Media On Linux & Mac Progress For Civilization Beyond Earth
4 November 2014 at 1:11 pm UTC

Quoting: ImantsWhen I started programing on Linux I hated case sensitivity and I still hate it :). This was one of the many windows features I liked.

I have a question and maybe you can answer it...
Why would anybody, if the OS forces him or not, would use different casing on disc and in code in the first place? I a) automatically use a pattern, like camel casing, pascal casing, all small, all large or whatever, and b) am probably to lazy most times to type it twice, so I'd copy and paste the file name. Both ways should ensure consistent casing quite naturally...

Quoting: GuestWhat is xorg-edgers?

Seemingly this is for Ubuntu graphics drivers what "experimental" is for Debian

The Dark Descent of Frictional Games: Part Two
2 November 2014 at 8:30 pm UTC

Dark Descent was the only game that gave me literal shivers from top to bottom.
I played Justine and Machine for Pigs as well, but didn't care for the predecessors. Finding that you like them even more made me buy them yesterday.
All Penumbra parts bundled are available for less than 2 Euros at the moment.
But... being such a coward when it comes to spoilers, I did not yet read your articles! I'll be waiting for a dark, lone evening when I can sink into Penumbra, and then, when I'm back from it, I'll go read your articles.

Win A Copy Of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

What I like most about Aspyr is that they're not just porting cool games, but released the patch for Civ V which makes me hope for quality work also after release.

The Last Dogma Is Now On Greenlight, Offering Linux Version Exclusively For SteamOS
30 October 2014 at 2:32 pm UTC

Quoting: BlobExclusively for SteamOS is a bit confusing.. AFAIK every game on Steam has to have a Windows version and SteamOS without Linux support wouldn't make sense. So there is only this said minor difference.

I got a shock reading the headline, I thought it would come only for SteamOS, not for other Linuxes (however they would have managed to do this).

Of course, this might mean the Mac port, but they have got Linux developers, they already ported it to Mac and they've got such a great game to port...

The Funding Crowd Isn't Going Anywhere Either... If You Don't Let It
28 October 2014 at 11:14 am UTC

Quoting: fleskReally? I never noticed that before. I'm pretty up to date on point-and-click adventure and platformer campaigns and wouldn't mind helping out in one way or another.

While I'm not funding, I'd appreciate reading about point-and-click adventures to come for Linux.
(As I'm supposed to as a German. ;o) )

Quoting: masteredu^ one more reason to crack games or get them illegal when they release instead of buying, because its just forbidden for your country.
That's not a reason to steal, never will be.

I don't feel this is about biting the hand that feeds you.
You shouldn't bite anyone's hand like this.
And no, it's not different on the internet.
