Desura Are In A Bit Of Trouble With Not Paying Developers
27 May 2015 at 2:45 am UTC

Developing a automated payment system for Desura would be prudent.

I contacted them 2 - 3 years ago suggesting various upgrades as their software is in need of a serious overhaul if they ever want to be a viable alternative to steam.

Too bad for them their code seems to still reak of problems.

Friday Livestream Is Here Again At 5 PM UTC! [VODs added]

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.

Terraria Still Planned For Linux, Due After The 1.3 Release
29 Apr 2015 at 7:14 pm UTC Likes: 1

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.

Storm United FPS Updated, More Graphics Options, Less Crashing

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.

Storm United FPS Updated, More Graphics Options, Less Crashing

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 :(

Descent: Underground On Kickstarter, Will Support Linux
20 Mar 2015 at 12:37 am UTC

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.

The GOL Nouveau Experiment
18 Mar 2015 at 1:56 am UTC

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
