Quoting: dziadulewiczI only hope the game would come also mouse controlled. In a way those classic adventure games are. Moving with arrow keys feels somewhat "off" but maybe it's just me.

I guess you never played Sierra's classic adventures. Or Grim Fandango with its awesome/awful tank controls. :)

Quoting: The_Aquabatthey say that bioses for 450/470 won't come until December I see this as an AMD move to force you to upgrade the mobo.

Surely not. Unless they're also forcing you to upgrade your CPU before December.

Quoting: appetrosyanYou can get a similar experience on BSPWM, and Sway, and to a much more experimental extent on river, but not on Compiz (XFCE, unity), Metacity forks (Cinnamon, Mate, XFCE, Gnome), Clutter (Gnome) or OpenBOX.

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".
