Quoting: TheBossIf it requires any form of payment to get into it, no it's not a free game.
Yeah, sounds reasonable.

Edit: We haven't got an article about Mel yet?!? I need to write one!

Is "Portal Stories: Mel" a free game? It is a free fan DLC for Portal 2...

Quoting: NoYzECool! Didn't know its out for Linux too because on their DL page it's only for Windows and Mac.
Thanks for the info!
It's no offical release yet, but it already was functional for others and now it's for me as well.

BTW, they've gone a long way since this article. :)

Quoting: minjnpm is a node package manager
node.js package is typically called node or nodejs
I haven't got experience with this stuff, I just saw it pulled in. You're probably right, the description is: "package manager for Node.js - Node.js is an event-based server-side javascript engine. npm is the package manager for the Node JavaScript platform. It puts modules in place so that node can find them, and manages dependency conflicts"

Quoting: LukeNukemSounds like it's bloating... I'll stick to Unreal Engine, and GoDot.
When writing it I wondered if I should leave the "dozens of packages" out. I don't know how much hard disc space this actually is, but I feel a full-featured game engine for several platforms does need lots of stuff (probably node.js is a rather small part of). I guess Unreal Engine is large as well...?

Adding to the crashes topic: I used the new version of the editor now and this is the first version of Unity on Linux not crashing very quickly on my system - actually not crashed at all! Thanks to the developers, now I finally can give it a try!

To me this sounds like they're really working on it, but met a problem. Sounds good IMHO.

Quoting: linuxgamerBut hey, its a big title and reading all the comments implies the devs will get their expenses covered by just the GOL dudes.
I don't care for this game either, but this is well said. :)

Quoting: fleskI haven't had any technical issues with this one though.
I'm yet to find the first Unity game that does not work on my system...
Steam Controller updated, you can name it, take configs with you, adjust the light & bleep and more

Quoting: ziabiceSo if I had to choose betwen the XBox 360 controller and the Steam Controller, the latter is actually the best choice? Even if I dual boot or use WINE for some games?
I didn't try the Steam Controller yet, but I guess I would choose the Xbox 360 controller for my gaming PC corner, because I've got mouse and keyboard there, but I would try a Steam Controller for the living room, where mouse and keyboard don't have their place.
