Comet 64 is a programming puzzle game about an old fictional computer

The game is way easier than your usual Zachtronics game, but it is quite fun et interesting. If you like games like that, it's a no brainer, but don't expect extremely hard puzzles.

A French court has ruled that Valve should allow people to re-sell their digital games

I just hope that it doesn't end in Valve stopping to sell games in France...

And I agree that comparing digital products with real products is just dumb. It's like when they told us that downloading thing is like stealing things. I'm not saying that it is a good thing, but it's not like a theft in real life.

But maybe, if a part of the sell goes to the developer, it can be a correct way to do it.

Either way, I don't sell my game discs and I don't intend to sell my digital games either.

I really love programming games. I'm eager to try it.

Valve put out another Steam Beta Client with minor Steam Play changes
19 Jan 2019 at 2:03 pm UTC

I had to close my session and log back again (in fact I even rebooted my computer) because after the update I couldn't run the games with steam play. But now, it's working great as before.

Quoting: dpanter
Quoting: SkiskiI've reanabled steam-play for all games after this beta and now, Steam wants to re-download most of my "windows" games. Is there a way to avoid that? Because they are still on my HDD. And that's a lot of Go!
Same here, but when I had checked all the settings again and allowed the updates to run, they just completed instantly (similar to the old 0-byte ones) so nothing new was actually downloaded.
I've got some of my games that have been deleted, like Red faction guerrilla remarstered (30Go) or Street fighter 30th anniversary (5Go). For the other games it's just a few 100Mo to download. Pfeww!!! With games like Doom or GTAV, it could have been a lot worse.

I've played the game at the beginning of the early access and it was very nice.
I have to get back to it now that it is on steam.

Playing Spelunky Classic HD on Linux is now just a Snap away

It can't get my 360 joypad working. It works great with trackmania, but with spelunky, only the "A" button works.

It is possible to rebind the keys, but none of the button are recognized.

And it is possible to play the game with a keyboard, but good luck with that...

In the terminal, I get this :
Gamepad connected: Microsoft X-Box 360 pad
ERROR!!! :: Failed to open file: assets/stats.txt
ERROR!!! :: Failed to open file: assets/gamepad.cfg

I don't know if the errors are related with the gamepad problem.
