Quoting: Luke_NukemThe last time I ever played and enjoyed a space sim was over two decades ago. This looks absolutely awesome!

Agreed, it does look good. My only serious space sim ever was the original Elite. Must have played the Amiga version.

I'll definitely keep my eye on this until release. I hope the EA goes well.

Quoting: EhvisNote the emphasis on "subtly".

Yes, please be polite and let the Mac gamers enjoy their stream. Feral won't be pleased if you hijack the chat.

Quoting: GrazenTo be honest Liam, posts like this make me want to cancel my Patreon support.

Wow, okay, why? Did I do something wrong?

These occasional reminders are just fine, don't worry about it. Well okay, of course you'd worry as it's your livelihood we're talking about.

If I can make one suggestion though, I'd keep the doom-and-gloom in check. Positive messages work better I think than emphasis on the negative like cancellations. They're on your mind, but they're not what motivates us to support your work. Remind us of the awesome things you do and plan on doing in the near future. That should be enough.

EDIT: typo

Quoting: ShmerlI just tired itch.io version - the mouse simply doesn't work in the game. Did anyone get this issue?

Yep.

-screen-fullscreen 0

Just add the above to the command line to run in a window instead of full screen, just like it says in Liam's article.

Unlike Liam, I saw a cursor but it just didn't move in full screen mode. A bit of a bother as I don't like playing in a window, but in this case it was acceptable.

Sorry to disappoint, but gamingonlinux.com might not be the bro cave you are looking for. We're not just gamers, but a diverse bunch of human beings with varied interests and opinions, and you've been here long enough to know that.

I hesitated a bit before taking this thread even more off topic, but most of the comments were already pointless wishlists nobody asked for so why not.

I also tested it for a few minutes... and reached the end of the game. This one is seriously short. But it's free so that's all right. A bite-sized shootout-simulator for a short coffee break.

Quoting: lucifertdarkLiam there are certain members who should be protected from being put on any block lists, can you do that? have you done it already?

Yes! I demand to be seen and heard by any and all! Also I demand the largest trout!

Seriously, good features here, although I doubt I'll use them myself. I'm pretty good at ignoring annoying people. This isn't reddit or the other linux site, so the worst trolls tend to run foul of the moderators anyway and get a well deserved ban.

Quoting: Luke_NukemI was going to say you're preaching to the choir... But actually, this must be what mansplaining feels like to women.

Urgh....
"Urban talk" on a Linux website :O

Mansplaining is just an admittedly annoying term for a very common type of condescension, and condescension isn't nice, be it for sexist reasons or otherwise. It always implies the assumption your audience is less intelligent/informed than you. But what's "urban talk". Never heard the term before. Is there also "rural talk"?

Quoting: thewhoMaybe this is the chance for Pixel Soccer [External Link] which will release in December and should support Linux, too.

It sure does seem to play more like the original Sensible Soccer. Looking at the trailers, the crazy curve balls seem to be missing though.

Also, I didn't see a mention of Linux support anywhere. Did I just miss it?

Quoting: iskaputtEdit: While looking up `steamcmd`, I found that even this command line tool requires multilib. Thus Steam is completely out of question for me.

You're setting a high bar here, but if your concern is keeping your gaming system clean, how about you download your (DRM-free) steam games in a disposable Linux VM or something? Surely your aversion to multilib is not ideological?

The Humble store indicates clearly which games provide a DRM-free download in addition to a steam key by the way. And you don't need a client to download their stuff. Itch is also a good option for some games.
