As a neutral observer, I can't help but point out that the ACLU is, in my opinion, not "a good cause."
You don't seem very neutral. ;)

Quoting: liamdaweSounds like a bug report they need on their github :)
I doubt a bug report would lower those processing fees. At least that's what the message blames if you try to pay less than $0.50.
That's my point, it shouldn't* list something they are unable to process.
True. They shouldn't allow developers to set such a low price if they can't handle it. I'll try to remember to file that report.

Sure the game is worth it and the profit goes to a good cause. Still, the one cent price feels like a joke when itch doesn't accept payments of less than fifty.

Eric the Unready was really funny, that's true. I haven't played a pure text adventure in years, but this will be hard to pass up.

Quoting: LeopardDid you know that Bethesda already ported it for Nintendo Switch,which use Vulkan?
Does it mean the Switch can be an incentive to develop Linux ports?
The Switch is an incentive to use Vulkan. Vulkan might not be an incentive to develop for Linux, but surely it lowers the bar.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80No the way porting works is Square pay Feral a fee to port the game sometimes it can tie the amount to the profits from the Linux version.
Porters have different business models. Feral actually publish every port they do, so it's not quite as simple as a bit of contract work. We have no idea how these deals are negotiated and what kind of financial agreements they make. Why would we even care, as long as they keep porting great games to Linux?

Competition: Win a key for the metroidvania-style game King Lucas

I love all the helmet designs in these drawings. I think Mordrag's is just super hilarious. :)

The thing is, I've been to a couple of armoury museums and some of the actual designs were almost as funny. I can't find my own old photos from our visit to the Palace Armoury in Valletta, Malta right now, but I do remember having a chuckle at these [External Link].

Shadow of Mordor benchmarks old vs new on Linux

Thanks. Seems like my experience should be a bit smoother should I ever decide to slog through the rest of the game. The minimum and average numbers are indeed the ones that matter.
