Quoting: lidstahI must admit I quite never understood these kind of almost "religious wars", and I've seen a lot from the Amstrad vs C64 one, Amiga vs Atari ST one, Nintendo vs Sega one, BSD vs the rest of the world one, and even some survivors of the Vi vs Emacs wars (what a bloody mess), and I still don't get the point of posting in threads related to what you don't like to try to push your point of view (valid or not), point of view which will always been, at best, ridiculed by other posters.

I never got the fanatic fanboy mindset either, but corporations and their marketing departments do and they love it. As do politicians.

Thanks for being awesome, Gaming On Linux! You're the first and the last site I check every day, with the nicest community in the history of gaming sites.

I pretty much never watch gaming streams, but last night was fun! It was the first time I enjoyed watching someone soil their pants. I'm an awful human being. :'( I'll atone by playing through Alien Isolation. I'm a huge sissy, better invest in some adult diapers...

Here's to seven more! I don't have any of the games you'll be streaming, but I'll watch the stream for a while at least. :)

Quoting: oldrocker99Hmmm...maybe I should add a heart to my avatar? And a Steam controller?

Hmmmmm...

Nooo! That joystick looks so awesomely nostalgic. Goes well with your nick. :)

Quoting: GuestNow if only their pages would work in my browser. First only my library page, then also the main store page, and just now I realize even the single game pages do not display at all anymore. Guess I'll stay with GOG then.

(Yes, I reported the issue long time ago already. They don't care.)

Which browser is that? Are you sure it's the browser and not a script blocker add-on of some sort? I just tried three popular browsers (all with an advert blocker of some sort) and everything works fine.

Quoting: liamdaweAnother day another big sale, I love the summer.

Summer is nice, but way too short. What's wrong with spring and autumn? I'd rather sit inside playing games when it's not sunny and warm outside. Also the GOG and Steam sales drained my gaming budget for months... :/

Would have been my choice as well, congrats Frank!

I did make it deep blue instead of orange (that's what I'm used to), blurred the grain a bit and slightly resized the icons layer, thanks for the xcf source! I have to admit I also removed the text, as I found it distracting. I don't need reminders, it's not like I'd forget my favourite corner of the intertubes in a hurry. :wub:

Just got a rather lacklustre answer from an Asus tech to my (half serious) query about the reported problems with the Strix 960. Here's an excerpt.

Quoting: AsusIf you are worried that the card or motherboard will fail due to this within the next 3 years, then that would be unlikely. We have not gotten any complaints that the 960 would have broken some motherboards or anything like that.

I guess "unlikely" is something, although "impossible" would have been more reassuring. :)

Quoting: pete910Is that AMD-Bridgman ?

Yessir...

Welcome, and thanks for your part in AMD's open source efforts. Must feel like carving a mountain with a teaspoon at times, but please persevere, good man. I look forward to switching back to AMD in the (hopefully near) future.

Quoting: ShmerlDoes this guy look like Trump on purpose?

Yes, he does. And the lady is supposed to be Clinton. World Leaders DLC or somesuch. I do wonder what part of the world they're supposed to be leaders of at this point in time though.
