Quoting: PhlebiacGoing by the screenshots, that game has literal butt-face characters.

Careful now, cheeky comments like that is sure to cause a stink! :grin:

Finally playing Impostor Factory [External Link] so I can move on to the Just a To the Moon Series Beach Episode [External Link] and catch up with the series.

I'll probably check out The Holy Gosh Darn demo but it seems to be a Norwegian production. Is it still mandatory to wear the lusekofte [External Link] when playing? :tongue:

Quoting: kuhpunktI'd like to see a quote/source for that.

Closest I can find is this post on HN from a supposed former Valve employee:

"One very senior employee even said that Valve would never make another single player game, because they weren't worth the effort. "Portal 2," he explained, had only made $200 million in profit and that kind of chump change just wasn't worth it, when you could make 100s of millions a year selling digital hats and paintjobs for guns"

Quoting: emphyDoes the atari 50 collection come with a link for just the roms at any of the shops?

Not interested in all the hoopla that comes with it and would prefer to bring my own emulator. An 11.7GB download (as stated on gog) seems a bit excessive for my use case.

You should be able to extract the ROMs with the Cowabunga tool [External Link].

Still need to download the file though.

Just to confuse things:

Delisted demos you have installed remain on your drive. You can (sometimes*) just re-add the executable as a non-Steam game and continue to play.

* Not if the developer have hooked it up to the Steam DRM system.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoBut, what is the offical meaning of the acronym UMU?
"U" is for "Universal"... And the "MU"?

"Why is it called UMU?

An umu is an above-ground oven of hot volcanic stones originating from Polynesian culture. After the stones are heated, the top layer is removed and the food placed on top to heat/cook. We chose the name because Valve's containerization tool is named pressure-vessel. We're "preparing" the pressure vessel similar to how you would use a stove top pressure-cooker -- by placing it on our umu's "stovetop""

It used to be [External Link] the Unified Linux Wine Game Launcher. I guess the developers found the "MU" part in the acronym a bit forced and changed it.

I can't seem to save/resume. Demo limitation or bug?

Quoting: Jarmerhow do you actually use this new proton for modding bethesda stuff?

You don't have to do anything. It detects the mod executable. So for example when you press play in the Steam client, nvse_loader.exe will run instead of FalloutNV.exe.

Downloading/installing/configuring is still up to you.

Quoting: CaldathrasI think that software licensing confuses a lot of people, who are expecting an ownership model such as you get when you purchase something like a hammer.

When you own a license, you own the right to use/play the software/game but you do not own the software/game itself.

Even with physical media, you may own the installation media but you do not own the software on that media. Much more complex than a simple physical ownership model.

But then, technically the music industry (vinyl, cassette, CD, etc.) was like this well before the advent of digital media ... we owned the media but not the music itself.

Really important to know the difference.

Case in point, the folks who paid $3m for a Dune book, thinking they also bought the movie rights [External Link].
