Quoting: tuubiYou have bested me sir. I shall now commit seppuku.Quoting: liamdaweThere was a winky face at the end of my comment as well.Quoting: tuubiI've always made jokes about the saying, i guess the winky face there wasn't clear enough ;)Quoting: liamdaweThe laughs the “no tux no bux” comment got says it all, I’ve never particularly liked that saying and I’ve said numerous times before how it means nothing to developers—I think they proved my point.It might not mean anything to developers, but it sure means a lot to me.
BTW, The Interwebs do not forget! [External Link] ;)

I get the saying and I understand it means something to us, my point was it needed to be clearer and not sound as silly.

Good news [External Link]: "Oops! That’s our mistake! We’ll get OSX and Linux up there."

Quoting: DuncWasn't Castle Crashers already on the whitelist? I was under the impression it was the only whitelisted game I owned. :)No it was not on the original list, which can be seen here [External Link].
It does work absolutely flawlessly, by the way.

Quoting: GuestNumber of commits doesn't equal the amount of work though.The level of work going into DXVK is seriously impressive.If I'm not mistaken, there were about 30 commits for that +0.01 upgrade, from 0.80. Perhaps not roadmap-worthy stuff, but still a boatload of work it seems.

Quoting: mao_dze_dunOh, come on. I just bought Hollow Knight last month... Would have preferred to buy it with Hitman.I suppose you could always trade the extra key with someone?

Quoting: GuestYuck. So I had a look at the humble page. Now they have removed any sign of what systems are supported on the overview page. You'd have to go to every single games page to check. WTF....I've emailed Humble to ask if they can put the OS icons on future special sales like this going forward. Hopefully they will, it would actually help them sell more after all. No sense hiding info people want to see to buy stuff.

Quoting: no_information_hereHi Liam,Sure, done. I will probably roll out a tag suggest feature sometime soon :)
Thanks for all the reviews you do - the volume is pretty impressive. I have a small request: Could you could add "rogue-like" (or rogue-something) to your tags for games like this, so that I don't have to dig through the text to find it?
Cheers!

I'm British, I consider myself to the left, I literally don't care about the "FBI" being represented in CS:GO.
