Quoting: ElectricPrismWhat does Linux People think of Voxellands & Mine test?

I play Minetest a fair bit (I'm playing it now!) and I love it. Loads of mods, a pretty solid game engine that's under active development, free and open source, and not a bit of the community's efforts go to profit a company that's hostile to Linux. What's not to like?

As to VoxelLands, I tried a couple of times and could never get it to run, so I gave up on it in the end.

I'm not feeling so hot today, so I'll be giving the stream a miss. Sorry!

Quoting: hardpenguinActually, I don't think that Insurgency is about terrorists. But that's just me nitpicking since it's one of my favorite games :)

What if....you're really the terrorists!

I sincerely doubt my machine would run it, but great news all the same. Glad to see more stuff from the big studios coming over.

Last time I tried installing this, it gave me a black screen that I had trouble getting out of. Sound worked fine, though. I'll have to give the new version a go, see if it's any better.

Edit: It's not any better. one monitor goes black, the other is forced into a low resolution. I hear sound, but that's it. Alt-F2 doesn't get me out of it, requiring a reboot to get out of the damn thing. The forums don't appear to have a search function, which makes trying to find any information frustrating at best.

Edit 2: Going into Darkmod.cfg and switching fullscreen to "0" fixed it, although I can't change where the window is on the screen. Turning fullscreen on again in the menu works, except then it moves to the other monitor (where I don't want it) and turns off the left one entirely, forcing me to go into settings, turn it back on, rearrange my monitors and taskbar once I'm done. Not acceptable at all to me. It's also apparently impossible to alt-tab out of the TDM window, nor alt-drag to move the window so it's not obscured by my left-hand menu. Shoddy work on this aspect of the game all around and gives a really bad first impression.

Ooh, I saw early footage of this quite a while back, was wondering when it would finally pop up for real. Looks slick.

Gotta say, I was hoping it would be more like the mid-90s cartoon at the start. Give us more cyber porpise bazookas!

Did they finally add a game mode between "Constant attacks by monster hordes" and "no monsters at all"?

I've been using Twitch Indicator for something like a year now, it's fantastic. As bare-bones and unobtrusive as it gets, which is exactly what I want. I just need to know if/when people I follow get online, and I don't need an extra window cluttering up the place. Perfect for my rather simple needs.

Sorry for missing the stream yesterday, I got in the middle of stuff and totally forgot the time. Next week I'll do better.
