Quoting: slaapliedjeWhat are your thoughts on that?

Whether your code is readable or not, comments are a must. What you consider readable might be total gibberish to someone else. Readability of a function or other code structure is also often dependent on context.

I'm sure anyone who's ever had to work on someone else's code would agree.

Quoting: balintCopy pasta from my previous comment on an other Aspyr News: Aspyr has to step it up, there's a quite noticeable gap in both quality and quantity between Feral and Aspyr, and it just seems to get bigger and bigger. They haven't even released a Vulkan title (or even some experimental build, like Mad Max) yet, Feral is miles ahead.

Plenty of room for both, and both have some really popular titles under their belt. I don't see why you'd want to make it into a competition. Ideally I'd like the original developers to handle their own cross platfrom releases and support, but as long as we have to rely on third party porters, I don't even care who actually does it. As long as we get quality ports.

Quoting: fabry92I can't play Hearthstone from 4 month... I hope they will fix it

Just download an older version of wine that supports it. You don't have to always use the latest release, or even the same one for all your games. Or did I misunderstand?

I just bought Hidden Folks to play over Christmas with my wife. And finally bought Tomb Raider as well. I really want to buy Thimbleweed Park or Quern, (or one of the other ~100 games on my wishlist,) but I might be a bit over budget already. We've spent more on Christmas gifts than I expected.

Quoting: kalinLinux people are awful.

Well that's an awful thing to say, don't you think?

Quoting: kalinI participate in this community from 5 years and I read only negative opinions in forums.

See, there's your problem. You should read the positive ones as well. :whistle:

You might only remember the doomsayers and reactionaries, but to me they seem like the loud minority.

I'm not offended by some creative profanity when it's called for, but I have to agree that the amount of f-bombs I hear every day simply smells of what could be called edgelord culture. This is just one manifestation of a bigger problem to me, mainly affecting media but bleeding into everything else. Sometimes it feels like the emotional age of our global society has plummeted by at least a couple of decades in the time we've aged as much. Subtlety and wit are now signs of weakness.

Another get-off-my-lawn rant... I really am getting old.

I know I kind of shat on the Bridge Constructor series in a comment to a previous article on this game, but I think I just can't pass it up. The first couple of games were pretty abysmal, but at least Bridge Constructor Medieval was entertaining enough. And Portal is love.

Scratch one more game from my wishlist. Oxenfree I mean. But what's with all these free games lately?

I know it's free, but you'd have to pay me to torture myself with this insanity. Never mind the brown pants, I have enough trouble sleeping as it is.

Quoting: thelimeydragonI hope ResidualVM gets some more love soon. Would be a great day when it supports more 3D Adventure games.

You mean it plays more than Grimm Fandango?

It already supports three games pretty well [External Link], and the engine for The Longest Journey is work in progress.
