Quoting: AnxiousInfusionOther genres which could please stop flooding Linux are point-and-click, retro 2D, visual novels and puzzle games. There are thousands! Now we need focus from AAA commercial releases.

So, you think we don't get AAA releases on Linux because the pipes are blocked by all the other stuff? Like the AAA developers are actively prevented from releasing their games on our platform by the indies? Makes no sense. At all.

I say bring it all, we can take it.

EDIT: I see I'm echoing Cimeryd here...

Quoting: dean36963Perfect game if you want to check that you can touch type in a hurry!
But this game could be very tense if your keyboard looks like this:

Makes no difference if you can touch type, I'd imagine. ;)

Quoting: Mountain ManI personally would never sign a non-compete contract myself, but I don't see any reason why they should be illegal.

Yeah, I can't say they don't have their place anywhere. I've signed a couple myself, promising not to design a competing product for a competitor of a client. Purely a formality, and not even a realistic prospect in these cases. As always, there are a lot of colours and shades other than black and white. This thread is about a specific contract with a specific NC clause though.

Quoting: Mountain ManSuppose, for instance, that an employer recruits an employee and invests time and resources into training him. Then the employee says, "Thanks for the training... see ya!" Now the employer will get no return on their investment, and they'll have to start from scratch. A non-compete clause is a reasonable precaution because it offers some assurance to the employer that the new employee won't suddenly flake out on them. If the prospective employee doesn't like the terms of the contract then it's his responsibility to walk away.

There are more positive ways to inspire loyalty. You are unlikely to have very productive staff if you need clauses like these to force/blackmail them to remain in your employ. But this is beside the point as well.

Quoting: KeyrockThat doesn't change the fact that if you sign a contract you must honor it. If you break a contract there are consequences to be suffered.

Well, that depends. Just like much of the nonsense in software EULAs, it's only binding as far as it agrees with local laws and regulations. If someone wants your firstborn in exchange for a service and you sign this contract with your blood, no court will hold you to your end of the bargain. At least in any country you'd want to live in. Ridiculous example but you get my point.

Quoting: STiATWe'll see if it will be fixed. If it's an application bug, I'm pretty sure Feral will act.

Did you miss edddeduck's posts? They "have a patch in progress to fix the issue". So I guess it's a safe bet they'll act. :)

Check your uefi/bios setup. Try enabling XMP if it's not already on or set the frequency manually. This seems to be pretty common, even with big brand motherboards and memory.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleSo yeah, tone it down.

Yeah, Boss, you heard the man. Remember your place and be happy with whatever trickles down to us second class citizens. Honest communication is obviously too much to ask, unless you represent more than two percent of the gaming public.

Well done, Sir (or Madam) Handle. Now you can move on and tell the next guy what they are allowed to do on their own damn site.

IMPORTANT! To get this to work, you will have to already have the game in your Steam library

Does this mean to get the Linux version I have to install the Windows version?

Typical!

You don't need to install the Windows version. Just have the game in your library.

I can see no reason to pay for the privilege of being a beta tester though. The game seems fun, but--as always--I'll wait until it's done and is officially released on Linux.

Quoting: MyeulCDon't forget to also export LC_ALL=C

I'd argue that this should only be done when necessary. Game developers should learn to make use of the locale settings instead of ignoring and stumbling on them.
