Good to see developers from Argentina putting out more games on Linux :)

Want To Be A Fisherman? Fishing Planet Is Planning A Linux Release

Quoting: ZekThePenguinI enjoy a good fishing game, and it's fantastic to see this one coming to Linux. (Now if only we could get some decent basketball and football games!)
Football manager is on Linux... Don't know if you meant ones where you actually play as the players though.

It's sad it's the only Linux game in that Humble Bundle and that this is increasingly becoming the case.

That would be nice. Played the original two games on console and enjoyed them a lot.

Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Delayed For Linux, Again

Agreed with Liam on the Kickstarter thing, but mainly because I think as a means of securing funds it panders to an audience, limiting the creative vision of the creators. Essentially Kickstarter is doing the opposite of what many of its proponents claim to do - it limits artistic vision by forcing it to play by the rules of the market. So many of the big kickstarted games make it because they appeal to an almost fetishistic level of nostalgia and then fill the game with fan service, trying to satisfy its backers who want everything and nothing at the same time. So many bland games just dripping with fanservice have come out of kickstarter.

That said, I don't think this is always the case. I recently backed The Journey Down 3, but this is a game where I know the creators have a clear vision of what they want to do, and they've done it extremely well twice already so there's no doubt they can deliver. I just think this is becoming increasingly rare now and there's far more Double Fines than there are FTLs - it's becoming a gravy train for developers to exploit the nostalgia of gamers rather than the hotbed of creativity some claim it to be.

GOL Survey Results: October

Quoting: ApopasMore probable is to be just a mistake, like the i3 wm - i3 processors.
That really doesn't seem super likely...

GOL Survey Results: October

Quoting: Apopas
Quoting: GuestYou’d have to be seriously drunk to think that question is about processors. The number is valid. LXDE is of no use to someone with a gaming computer, it’s just not as good as Xfce. A tiling manager like i3 brings something else to the table, and a good number of the people who answered that probably use Arch… People who use Arch want to configure their system to their liking, not use something premade like Ubuntu.
10.62% use proprietary intel drivers. Is this number valid as well?
Well... it's only 12 votes and it has been discussed over and over that the number could well be valid for those using Ubuntu-based distributions.

Quoting: Werzaz...but then the Steam Big Picture mode is not a DE either imho.
This makes me think of an interesting question to add to the survey: "How often do you use Steam's Big Picture Mode?" Always|Using SteamOS|Every day|Every week|Rarely|Never, though maybe add an option for "on the weekends only" or something.

I can't recall if there has been any questions about Big Picture Mode in the past.
This was actually meant for SteamOS users since when I made the question over a year ago people were calling SteamOS "just Debian with big picture". I still don't know what to call it... I know it technically has Gnome 3, but that's the desktop fallback option. Anyway, the idea was just to see how many SteamOS users there were.
