Quoting: talklittleAn easy installer for Lutris exists for the Humble Bundle version: https://lutris.net/games/rakuen/ [External Link]

Do people actually use Lutris as a launcher for native games?

I'm glad I was waiting until the last moment until deciding on my Steam summer sale picks. Even disregarding the added benefit of the DRM-free build and the kickback for GOL, some of the deals are actually better. Like Opus Magnum 13.11€ on Humble and 14.99€ on Steam, Slime Rancher 10.49€ vs 11.99€, and Tacoma 8.99€ vs 9.99€. Depends on region I'm sure, but worth checking out.

Quoting: GustyGhost30, 40, 50 are only significant because we use a base 10 system. If humans had only eight fingers or fourteen fingers we might find significant birthdays to land instead on 16, 24, 32 or on 14, 28, 42 respectively. It is amazing how we are able to mentally compartmentalize sets of years as though being 39 years and 360 days is any different from being 40 years and 2 days, for example.

Roll up the carpets and cover the punch bowl, it's the party pooper!

Quoting: soulsourceNext up: Firefox gets support for MSIE 5 CSS box model implementation and MSIE 6 Quirks Mode.

Sorry, but imho software using compatibility profiles should be fixed to use non-deprecated API functions. Exposing that functionality in the graphics driver just encourages developers to write code that uses it, what most likely means bad code.

Sad as you might find it, I doubt many game devs choose their tools based on what radeonsi supports or doesn't support. Your joke/analogue would make more sense if it had anywhere near the market penetration of Firefox.

Quoting: Patola

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: PatolaDoes the motto "no tux no bux" lead to that?

No. This is politician talk. The slogan can be used as an excuse after the fact, but it doesn't lead to piracy.

I understand you think people might think/behave like this, but do you have data or any empirical basis to back that up?

Probably just as much as you do. :P

I'm fully committed to "no tux no bux", but I don't feel like that entitles me to anything. It's the sense of entitlement and/or not giving a shit that mostly leads to piracy, not some funny slogan.

Quoting: yar4eInstalls without problems on Mint 18.3, but after install you need to execute chmod -R o+rx /opt/BasemarkGPU to make it run from ordinary user. Benchmarking process looks very strange though :)

For me it ran just fine when I simply extracted the BasemarkGPU folder from the deb package and executed the launcher. I didn't bother running the benchmark though, I was just curious about the "experience mode".

Quoting: devnullIf that's the case I demand a gender called "Penguin".

/s

Why the sarcasm? That's an excellent suggestion. They'll have to watch Pingu for proper pronouns. Probably along the lines of "noot" or "meep".

Also please go reread the previous thread if you didn't get enough of that pointless discussion already.
