I always miss these because the time is confusing to me. I really wanted to watch today but I'm over in PST so I think that puts it at about 11am here.

I wish there was a plugin or rainbow table picture that showed 5pm UTC to all the zones.

I guess there's nothing to do about Twitch using Flash for the stream, I have to fire up Chrome to watch also which is a half-frownie face.

Last Stream Storm United look really great.

Apples & Oranges.
My girl and me have over 1,000 hours in Terraria and we tried Starbound and wanted to puke. Each game is very different, one is about collecting and stealing things and the other is about building.

I've been watching my RSS feed for Terraria news on Linux all year. So nice to see this on GOL - Terraria 1.3 is going to be amazing :) (No More Wine + SSH Tunnel to play with .NET + XNA - it was such a nightmare)

Finally after gifting people 8 copies of this game I'll be able to play since Windows has RIP 1+ year and we're rocking Arch.

Quoting: leillo1975

Quoting: kyokeiI bought the game in the end, after getting an invalid key (:() and I must say I am a bit disappointed.... the game feels like an unfinished UT.

Early Access==> Unfinished

No need to salt the wound, nothing wrong with expressing disappointment after spending money on things.

I missed the key giveaway on GOL - I considered buying a copy for $20 but the discussion forum had Linux people saying the game wouldn't even load past the start screen in some instances.

Additionally, there were players saying they couldn't play with anyone online :(

I hope Descent doesn't get butchered by this new version like Duke Nukem Forever did. I'm also concerned about their team being full of "producers", "chiefs" and "directors".

I get the feeling that this new Descent is happening for a reason and you'll never guess what that reason is.... Money.

Back when Descent 1, 2 and 3 came out all PC gaming was still considered Indie because PC gaming was a undesirable platform, this caused the Golden Age where people made games as a passion instead of for "Box office returns".

I sincerely hope I'm wrong about these people, but my guts tell me I'm not.

Answer to Article: Nope. The 75% performance loss of using Nouveau was inadequite to run DOTA on my GTX 460 SE. Now that I got a GTX 970 last month I might be able to get away with it, but if I wanted to use a fully open driver I would buy a AMD Kaveri APU as the AMD HSA stack is part of Kernel 4.0

No hardware survey for me this month, 2 requests last month.

Thanks for the heads up all - I was glad to post my story on the petition thread. Using SC2 Galaxy Editor in WINE is a chore, I really need official support as a Content Creator.

My thead post:

+5 for Linux.

I am a content creator for StarCraft 2. I create RISK Action Editon which is in the top 60 daily.

We have 3 content creators in the family and all use either Arch Linux or ElementaryOS which is Ubuntu. 0 Mac, 0 Windows.

It's really this simple: support Linux or die. There are too many other good games competing for me as a player on my SteamOS/Arch Linux - some friends have 600 Linux games in the library. I would love to play StarCraft 2 in my Living room on my SteamOS PC.

According to Steam there are 750,000 active Linux users who game every month, we are also the most technically developed users and technically skilled game developers on the planet, join Linux and gain us or ignore us and your competitors will take your place as you cease to exist.

Quoting: MaelranePoint taken.
And again: I don't think many people out there buy nvidia because they think "Hell ya, I want my games with PhysX, baby!", they buy for other reasons.

Can confirm, am Arch user and just bought GTX 970 for $400, 0 fks given about PhysX. What I do care about, however, is Vulkan, OpenGL, etc... If I could have bought a high-end R9 990X card from AMD I would have if they opened the driver like they plan to - but hey I can't make my buying choice based on "promises".

Too bad AMD didn't hurry up, they could have taken my $400. My girls rig will need a new GPU soon so hopefully by that time AMD releases their source.

After AMD released the HSA driver, the next integrated CPU #1 on my list is the AMD Kaveri 12-core shared APU.

Until I upgrade I guess I have to learn to stop worrying and love the blob. And as to the dude the insinuated that Windows Games _always_ perform better than on Linux - I ROFL at you in a grande way good sir.

Like it or not - Linux is both the present (Routers, Coffee Makers, Toasters, Servers, Mercades Cars, Android Phones and soon to be Gaming Consoles in addition to PS4 being FreeBSD), and especially the future (The Desktop).
