Rust Hits Over 1 Million Sales & Removes Zombies

I never said the block wasn't deserved and I don't regret calling him out on what he was saying. I took him too seriously though due to not realising that he does complain about literally everything (I've never followed him before).

Now let us move onto talking about the topic can we.

Rust Hits Over 1 Million Sales & Removes Zombies
11 Feb 2014 at 2:23 pm UTC

Quoting: FutureSuturelolwut, Garry blocked GOL? For talking back when he was running his mouth off? And now Rust has been #1 in the top ten Linux sales chart on Steam for weeks and Garry's Mod is constantly in the top ten as well? Those ungrateful Linux users!
Yes he blocked GOL rather than have a discussion on what he was saying, it was to do with him showing off weekly sales numbers, Linux was really low - this is back when there was no release announcement, no Linux icon etc. He blocked GOL when I called him an idiot or something.

Quoting: Xpanderlast time linux users were just 0.4% of the sales anyway.

i like where the game is heading.. removed zombies, replacing modern weapons with handmade ones.

i dont really care about tutorial.. this game shouldnt have a tutorial
you are thrown into island and you have to start living on your own there.
thats what i like about the game..

they are giving us tools, we are making rules.
Well that 0.4% was still at least 1,000 people back in January, 1,000 Linux purchases they otherwise wouldn't have had :P

I imagine that is quite a bit higher now though, it will be interesting to see if they list their platform % again sometime.

Valve Releases Source Code For Their Virtual Reality API
11 Feb 2014 at 1:58 pm UTC

Quoting: DrMcCoyIt's a non-free-software license, though, since it restricts your freedom to non-commercial use. Not impressed.
Why are you not impressed? Did you want to use it to create your own API and sell it on?

Ubuntu Developers Join Debian In Getting Free Valve Games
11 Feb 2014 at 1:26 pm UTC

Quoting: LinasI am not quite sure what Ubuntu developers did to deserve this more than let's say Fedora or Gentoo developers? SteamOS is NOT based on Ubuntu after all.
Ubuntu more than any other Distro put Linux into the hands of a lot more "average Joe's" than Gentoo. Hell Ubuntu is really what got me to stick with Linux and is why this website is even here in the first place.

Gentoo have never been here to make things easy for people, I don't personally feel that they deserve it at all.

Great article guys as usual, I have cleaned up the formatting since for some reason there where half pages gaps between section images?

Quoting: L4LinuxI would really like the "Arena games" to have an option for a slower, more realistic (as realistic an arena shooter could get anyway...) gameplay. I never liked this bunny-hoping at all.
That is my issue with it, it's too much for me with people bouncing here there and everywhere.
Is this comment a joke?
If you want a slower realistic paced game, then you play one. Saying a game that revolves around fast paced classic FPS action should have mechanics that slow it down to be more like modern FPS games is absolutely silly and contradicts the point.
No one is saying this should have mechanics to slow it down, are they?

I simply don't like fast bunny hopping games like this which is why I do stick to slower games.

Steam Increases SteamOS Branding On Its Store
7 Feb 2014 at 1:58 pm UTC

Quoting: DrMcCoy
Quoting: liamdaweGetting down to basics Linux is just a Kernel anyway, SteamOS is the distribution.
Then they should include GNU as well. "SteamOS GNU/Linux" or something.
Honestly, I like nothing less than people who try to force people to say "GNU/Linux", for one who cares and two it sounds crap. We don't need to confuse people even more.

Edit > To add to that, a reason why I hate it is "GNU/Linux" isn't even correct, it would be "GNU/Linux DISTRONAME". Since we don't want specifically state single distro's a general term of Linux to me is acceptable and less confusing.
