C4 Engine Drops Linux Support, Developer Says Linux Is Inferior
12 Jan 2015 at 8:40 pm UTC Likes: 1

Linux has proven to be Frankenstein OS assembled from a disparate array of barely functioning parts with horrible reliability and little potential for future improvement.
There are a lot of bad arguments against Linux, but this guy is one of a kind. If 'disparate array of barely functioning parts' means that drivers are built into the kernel and that it uses a much more efficient filesystem, then sure! But I'm not sure thats what he meant ;)

I never got this survey popup, so I think there's something fishy about Steam Hardware Surveys..

I have *never* used a controller on PC, so this will be interesting ;) I plan on buying this when it comes out, so I can emulate mouse and keyboard. Especially for things like Skyrim in Wine, where even if it has controller support, you need to emulate ;)

Free Indie Saturday - Just Shoot
4 Jan 2015 at 1:37 pm UTC

I really felt like I slaughtered this game, but I actually enjoyed it a lot! I was probably pissed because I had to play it in Virtualbox, I think thats why I was so negative about it.

Quoting: codyaj1995You should check out Sauerbraten if you like this game. (it is the cube2 engine) Very fun!
Oh, Sauerbraten uses the Cube 2 engine? Thats where I heard that engine before! I knew I had heard of it before, but I didn't know in what way.

GOL Survey Results: December

Quoting: Segata Sanshiro
Quoting: rodvilThe link to the new survey is broken.
The editor for GOL has changed. For some reason it takes everything as an internal link, so thinks the address is gamingonlinux.com/goo.gl/vCuazq - I'll try and fix this ASAP.

For now just copy and paste goo.gl/vCuazq into the address bar.
The easy fix is to add http:// to the link, because the browser presumes its an internal link.

Not a big fan of "point and click" games, but it looks pretty sweet all in all ;)
