The 'Humble Bundle's Best of 2016' has some great Linux games for cheap
18 Jan 2017 at 6:17 pm UTC Likes: 2

Quoting: g000hPicked up Humble Bundle Best of 2016 "Beat The Average" myself, but only for 2 games I wanted. The remaining 4 games, I'm gifting to a friend who is gifting me the 3 Linux games from Humble Overwhelmingly Positive Bundle (Day of the Tentacle, Pony Island, Refunct).
Now where can I find one of those Windows friends. :D

No seriously, I bought the bundle as well and I'm only keeping two of the games, gifting the rest. I will have to buy DotT soon though, I really miss that wacky gem of an adventure.

A note about the sources of our information and how we really don't rip others off

Quoting: GoboHere we are in 2017 and our editing tools still lack even basic sarcasm tags...
We don't need or want sarcasm tags. Just assume good faith, and take every joke at your expense as a friendly jibe. Would make the Internet lives of us sarcastic assholes a lot less stressful.

Seriously, you can't lose. Even if you're wrong and you're being trolled, just watch the troll get desperate when you fail to rise to the bait.

Surely it isn't a political system. Or are you one of those people who don't see the irony in organized anarchism? :)

Prison Architect broke the Geneva Conventions for the use of a red cross
18 Jan 2017 at 10:25 am UTC

I still see civilian ambulances proudly displaying red crosses, but never privately run ones. That probably makes a difference. I probably can find the Star of Life on some of them, but it's far from universal. Our local rescue department / emergency services certainly make use of the red cross. Nothing military about them. Also, I think the German Red Cross organization actually operates a majority of their civilian ambulances, and I've seen similar stuff elsewhere in Europe.

The point is, there's no global, unified approach to this, and I think the UK/US one is far from the best.

Quoting: JuliusBesides, if it was the coca-cola logo no-one would think twice about it, just because there is a humanitarian aid organization behind it it is somehow different?
This isn't about trademarks either. The concept is quite different. Besides, you'd expect Coca-Cola to sue anybody and everybody, just because they can. That's the American way.

I think any respectful use of the red cross symbol to depict health and first aid services in entertainment and media does more good than harm, by reinforcing the recognizability and power of the symbol. I just don't see what this is supposed to prevent.

Sure, you shouldn't be allowed to paint the red cross (or the red crescent) on your murdermobile, but that's very different from what happened here.

I remember this one and I remember being interested, but I don't think I ever played it. Thanks to GOG I just might.
