I am sorry you lost yours. I am still a (happy) C-64 owner.

No need to be sorry. I said I used to own one, but I don't miss the old hardware. Emulators are good enough for me. :)

Quoting: GuestActually, i find this number a bit surprisingly low. No kidding.

I (rarely) check at another forum of C64 nostalgics. There is web survey about our main OSes. Linux is just shy of 20%. A bit above Mac OS. Win scores a near 60%.

Of course it is a subpopulation of old geeks and nerds but so should be the public of GZDoom. Linux is popular amongst such circles.

Two points to consider:

I can see why most of us ex C-64 owners would be "old geeks and nerds", but I'd think there's a bigger chance a Doom fan is still an active gamer and thus more likely to run Windows.

Secondly, of these three operating systems, Linux is most likely to attract the kind of privacy conscious crowd that disallows data collection, anonymous or not. Voluntary web surveys are different.

Quoting: Adamfx990Great! Now will I be able to run it on a 980 I wonder?

I wish I was being sarcastic ><

Is there any reason at all to suspect you won't? Sure sounds sarcastic.

Quoting: [email protected]Page requirements state Windows and DirectX on Steam though.

This is confirmed for Linux?

Yes, as stated in the article. Check the developer quote towards the end for a TL;DR.

I like what I see. And hear. Metroidvanias are definitely my favourite kind of platformers as well, and this one seems to play to the strengths of the genre quite nicely.

Quoting: tuubiI look forward to being the first one to lose 10-0.

Didn't manage to lose 10-0. But I guess 10-2 isn't far off. :P

Quoting: PatolaIs that it? A few static screens? Or the game has something more elaborate than the trailer shows, like travel/scrolling?

These games are extremely simple. Just a few hours of casual clicking around. Good for when you just don't have the energy for anything more taxing. :)

That said, I wouldn't have bought them at full price.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumDo we Linux users really want to be associated with geeks? :P

Better face it, captain. That ship has sailed.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumIt'd turn into "Linux is an OS for geeks" which is more food for the Windows trolls. :D

The real troll food is attention. They're perfectly capable of thinking up silly insults without our help.

Quoting: wleoncioDang, I'm kinda envious of you Rocket Leaguers now. I wish we had leagues/groups for other games as well (to play tournaments, campaigns or whatever). F1 2017 comes to mind.

There's no reason these tournaments have to be started or overseen by the GOL staff. Just head on to the Tournaments section of the forums and feel free to arrange your own. And I think there's a "players wanted" channel on the GOL discord if you're looking for less formal gaming company.
