Quoting: michalIt's fixed funding actually. Thanks for the write-up :)

Oh odd, either that changed or I just completely mis-read it :(

Also I turned down another offer of $100 today for an article from someone else, they also refused to let me put a sponsored tag on, so no deal.

Quoting: Cheeseness

Quoting: liamdaweThat is NOT aggressive. That is me telling people very clearly I don't want idiotic comments about this.

Surely there's scope for discussion that doesn't agree with your position that also isn't idiotic.

Totally have to agree with DrMcCoy. Definitely getting "con" vibes from the situation. Good move on pulling out.

Of course, I mainly meant it to outright stop any attacks on me and GOL in the comments, that is all I just worded it badly.

Quoting: XodetaetlYour decision to stay clear of those shady agreements made me decide to support you with some money. I appreciate the work you do to reach out to devs etc.

Though as you've been told here and multiple times before, you'll need to put some experience points in wisdom. Because yes, you are aggressive a times, getting into arguments, finding some people are idiots and being blunt about it... Yes, a lot of people are agressive at times too, it's human bad instincts, but your position as a journalist, as one of the faces of the Linux community, requires you to get over it and be smarter than this, wiser than 'them'. It's hard and a constant struggle with your emotions but you will do yourself a favor.

Thank you all help is appreciated.

Well it's odd what people see as aggressive to me is perfectly normal where I am from, everyone has a difference of opinion on that.

The main thing is I don't want to turn into some sort of online tabloid robot, I think the reason GOL is where it is now is due to me putting across my emotions often. I am only human of course, learning all the time :)

If you want to make money out of GoL and/or get donations, then being aggressive like that might not be the best thing to do.

That is NOT aggressive. That is me telling people very clearly I don't want idiotic comments about this.

I am not complaining about the other projects not having the source code from the original games *sigh* and I think you know that already.

I was saying it's not fair to the projects that didn't have the source code to start off with. They should have been in different voting polls to be fair to them, that is just my opinion. I didn't get a say in it either due to communication issues I didn't even know there were discussions on the projects being included.

Also, this argument is so boring it's unreal, I am not an open-source zealot, so no I won't be bugging companies to release sources. If you want to go right ahead, now move on from this argument I have made my point.

Quoting: Open Source

Quoting: Heimdall

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: HeimdallArx and Doomsday shouldn't be on there as they benefited from the source release of their games. The rest were built from the ground up.

I agree, but annoyingly I was told I was being "pedantic" by another site owner who is also an award supporter.

Well there is a big difference being given a basically finished project with Arx source and building a new engine from scratch a la CaesarIA and OpenMW. If that is pedantic, then so be it. I think they are belittling the achievement that the OpenMW people have achieved thus far.

Not to say that the Arx Liberal is project isn't cool. I love Arx and am glad they printed it to Linux. They just didn't have to do much work themselves, that was Arkane.

So what? They have had it easier. If that is your point then you are PEDANTIC. At the end it is Open Source and thats what counts.

If you want to complain, then complain to the companies which doesn't release the source for their games.

It is completely unfair to have projects like Arx in with projects like OpenXcom which is the point, Arx had the entire source code from the official developers handed out, it's in a league of its own.

I wasn't complaining about being pedantic, I like having a good attention to details. My point was made earlier, it's not right for it to be in a list with projects that started with nothing.

Quoting: OrkultusOne thing they need to fix on steam is where you go to search in the SteamOS / Linux section. Down at the bottom it always says 0-100. It also doesn't show every game available for linux.

It is the same for Mac, that list is of the "Newest" games, not a full list.

Quoting: tuubiIt's obviously a side-scrolling shooter, not a platformer. Personally I had my fill of these on the C64 and Amiga back in the day. The art style looks cool though.

I beg to differ, it has a bit of all of it in which is why I called it an "action platformer" you run along and jump around platforms and there is shooter action in it.

I stand by my title ;)
