Europa Universalis IV: Common Sense Released

I'm in the same boat here. This expansion makes me want to play the game again so badly and I'll probably get it, but I know that if I start playing EU4 then I'll neglect pretty much everything else in my library for the next month.

But like Mountain Man, I want the game to be as complete as possible because when I do allocate time to play it then I can get the full experience.

GOL Survey Results: May
8 Jun 2015 at 11:55 pm UTC

Quoting: WorMzyIt's still frustrating to see that 16.8% of intel GPU users are still confused about their drivers. I wonder if these select few are optimus users.
I never considered that option, and it would make sense given that its unlikely that such a high percentage of people answered it.

Still, I don't see how anyone could consider bumblebee as being Intel propriatary since they are using propriatary Nvidia drivers. Grated, there are also open source Intel drivers, but for gaming I take it people would use the Nvidia drivers or else there would be no point of having bumblebee installed in the first place.

If optimus users feel differently then I could consider adding an extra option for this (I'm adding integrated AMD next month anyway). I'm sure it will be pretty interesting to a lot of people, and possibly a "what kind of PC do you have?" type question (laptop/desktop) to go with that.

I like the new format a lot. The only thing is I would have it even shorter, like in the 10-15 min area, just from personal experience if I'm looking for a review or something on YouTube, that's generally around the length I look for.

I really liked the game too :). The story was awesome and really like how deceptive the game is in presenting itself as the bog standard shooter, but then throwing in all the Heart of Darkness stuff. Agree completely with the cover-based stuff as well, got pretty bored with the gameplay and was just waiting for the next bit of the story.

New Linux Gaming Survey For June
1 Jun 2015 at 7:29 pm UTC

Quoting: CreakIs there a view of the statistics over time?
It would be interesting to see the distro migrations through the months, and also the amount of games bought along the year.
Yup, there is. I usually put that up a few days after the actual survey. The graphs are all plotted against time on a monthly basis. You can use the search bar to find older results, though with the distros it's actually not all that interesting really. Might have to wait a whole year or so before we really see any patterns there.

Quoting: DrMcCoyA games console? Does an original Game Boy count?
Yeah, why not :). Was going to add a seperate handheld answer but didn't want to add too many options.

New Linux Gaming Survey For June

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionThis survey needs a "AMD (Integrated)" option under graphics hardware.
Yup, I've been considering making that distinction in the survey for a while now. I'll add it in next time!

New Linux Gaming Survey For June

Quoting: WorMzyI own lots of consoles, but I use my PC more than any of them.

This month I bought a Savage Lands four-pack.. does that count as one game or four? :o
To be honest, I don't know! That's the problem with these surveys, either I include every possibility and make it super confusing, or keep it simple but have some things that can't be quantified.

Also, would the people receiving the games as a gift count that as a purchase? That's why my general policy is to leave this kind of stuff out and assume that the different subjective things will iron themselves out through averages :)

Hey, It's Friday Livestream Time Again (at 5 PM UTC!)

Quoting: SamsaiOh, indeed it is! I hadn't noticed!

Well, that's fantastic! Now we have two games anyone can play with me! :D
I'm in!

Steam Replaces The Linux Tux Logo With SteamOS

Boo. I hope this doesn't become like Android now. Linux fanboyism aside though, they need to come up with a new icon for SteamOS because it's just their logo... Hopefully one with a penguin on it.

Dying Light Linux Performance Patch & New DLC Released

Quoting: TheReaperUKHave you unpacked the data0.pak into the out folder in the past, if so delete the data folder from the out folder, then Verify files on Steam.
I have no idea what you're talking about, so I assume not :P. I never did any quick fixes or workarounds to the game, just sort of looked at what a bad state it was in then gave up on it. I have tonnes of better stuff in my library, I'd rather just wait for them to do the work and play less buggy games in the mean time.
