Quoting: AzPYes, but why? It only makes the text harder to read and brings no value whatsoever. Unless they specifically want to be described using genderless pronouns.
It's how I speak, how I write and I really don't see the confusion. It's nothing to do with gender issues.

Quoting: wytrabbitDoes Feral still get their cut from your purchase before they finish the port though? If we pre-order through Steam or Humble, won't all the revenue go to Creative?
It already fully advertises Linux and Feral on both stores so you're good to go.

This might just be a fluke, but according to GloriousEggroll.

Nope. That was not intended. Unless Valve or the developer says, assume it will just stop working.

Quoting: EhvisThe tweet makes it sound like the BattlEye support is tied to the Steam client. If that's the case, I'm sure we'll have a couple of unhappy people.
Yes, there is a new Proton BattlEye Runtime that gets installed. Added a note to the article.

Fantastic idle game Melvor Idle leaves Early Access this month, teams with Jagex

Quoting: TcheyI tested it a few months and years ago, it was really "well made" and at the same time, kind of boring.
Nothing really "fun", just very basic stuff over stuff over stuff. Dense and full of stuff, but yeah, unfun stuff, i’d say.
These types of games are definitely an acquired taste.

Quoting: amataiDoes Fantastic refers to the quality of the game or to the setting ?

(Sorry if it is obvious, English is not my primary language)
Good question, kinda both.

Quoting: Liam DaweYeah sorry the merch store is a bit of a PITA. They need us to setup an additional one for US/Canada because they produce it based on where you want it delivered.
No problem. Absolutely no pressure intended, but is it something you plan to do? If so, I'll be patient (like if I had any choice). :smile:
I am hoping to. I have other designs I want to add too but it requires some extra time. Feel free to send me a reminder in a month or so if I haven't sorted it :)

Linux has now seen 4 months of being above 1% on the Steam Hardware Survey

Quoting: EikeIf you look very close, it's even 6 months. ;)
Ooops! Even better. Fixed. Was too focused on the sudden surge.

Quoting: GuppyHave they automated the hardware survey? I don't think I've had the popup in a couple of years now 🤔
Nope, still opt-in if you get it. A lot of people don't which makes them think it's broken but it's a survey, you're not meant to get it constantly. I believe it's more likely if something big changed, which is part of the point for it to show what people are now using (which is why some dual-booters see it when switching).
