Just a small correction: Neither Xfce's compositing window manager Xfwm nor Compton (probably the most popular replacement compositor among Xfce users) are Metacity forks.

My mistake, should have said compiz.

You did. :D

Xfce still uses Xfwm by default and it was developed from scratch.
I'd argue you can count Xfce users who use anything but Xfwm or Compton with your fingers ;)

Also just to make this clear, Compton is based on Xcompmgr, not Compiz or Metacity.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80So for me its more interesting to see how many systems brick trying to get the bios update

Do you expect many bricked systems for some reason? Unless you have no idea what you're doing (in which case you shouldn't be installing a new CPU anyway), updating your bios isn't especially risky these days.

I grew up with a Commodore 64, then an Amiga 500, but I don't understand why anyone would yearn to return to the beige years of computing. These were great systems back in the day, but they were no beauties.

That said, I do know a few people who'd be all over these.

Looking forward to this.

Thanks for mentioning Hiding Spot. Never heard of it before. I enjoyed Pipe Push Paradise and apparently this one is available for Linux as well. Too bad A Monster's Expedition isn't.

Quoting: GamewizardGood to hear it's still happening as there is a packaging sprint planned to get more DSFG games packaged up. As there are a ton that some people have requested to be packaged that still are not and a few of them it would probably help them get more exposure as a project. It's not like Debian is unaware about gaming if they where well then Steam wouldn't be one of the most common packages on the non-free section on the repo to be installed by desktop users.

EDIT: Words are hard.

DSFG?

I think they meant DFSG [External Link].

Quoting: LinasWasn't Iron Danger supposed to get a Linux version? What happened to that?

I think that was Iron Harvest.

It was both.

Quoting: IvancilloI only see outside views of the cars.

Has this game inside cabin view?

No. As Liam writes in the very first sentence of this article, it's a "top-down racing game".

Quoting: PopeRigbyThis one was in the racial justice bundle, right?

Not in the Humbles bundle at least. There was Overgrowth and Overlord II though...

It's always possible that it has been in some other bundle.

It was in the itch.io "Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality".

But instead of creating a sequel they created a new game none had asked for...and failed.
So sad. :(

This is the correct response.

Skullgirls was fantastic - and I'm not even a "fighting game" guy ("button masher" on those rare days when I do play them...)! But instead of making a sequel, they made some other game that was boring and unoriginal...

I guess I'll have to point out that there were people like me who had no interest in Skullgirls, but were looking forward to playing Indivisible. To me, the former looks like just another boring fighting game, whereas the latter hints at an interesting story and has some interesting platforming/RPG mechanics. Different strokes etc.
