This is definitely one of my 2016 highlights. The perfect game to play from the couch, right next to stardew valley. I'm already pretty excited to try the new DLC. I hope there'll be much more content; the original game was quite short.

Really like that game. Much better than expected as it covers up quite a wide variety of genres... so there's something for everyone.

Quoting: cxphergmailcomAnyone has screen tearing on NVIDIA drivers? There isn't a vsync option it seems.

Neither on AMD, nor on NVIDIA. Works almost flawless for me (had one crash so far after my first achievement).

What's your Distro/Desktop environment? I'm here with Xubuntu (14.04 and 16.04) and compton for compositing as xfwm4 is known to cause tearing under some specific circumstances.

So this actually looks quite interesting, considering the -50% it's really tempting to buy it. But many people criticize that the servers (probably just european servers?) are empty... is that true?

Transport Tycoon 3D? I'll buy that!

Just bought it. Really nice, like soldat, just without mouse control. Battles are quite short though and xbox360 controller seems to refuse to work (with xboxdrv).

edit: If somebody else has trouble getting xboxdrv to work, here's a custom control file I created that emulates keyboard commands - controls still have to be adjusted in the game menu (keyboard settings) because default controls are set in a strange way.

Just save this file as trenchrun.xboxdrv and then type sudo xboxdrv -c trenchrun.xboxdrv into your terminal (assuming xboxdrv is installed).

Information about your physical movements and dimensions when you use a virtual reality headset.

I can already imagine the type of ads that will appear under certain movement-patterns ^^

Quoting: ricki42No one is saying that not having people of colour means the devs are racist.

Why then should someone ask such a question? To ask for more diversity usually implies worries about exclusion. In this case exclusion of black people --> racism.

Quoting: ricki42These analogies were supposed to make the question about non-white characters look as absurd as asking about cats and cripples.

IMHO that's the case here. The level of absurdity is almost the same as asking for cats and cripples.

Quoting: sonicWe can also ask a question some Web pages (including GOL), why we have only yellow smilleys and not black & white.

Ooh... you better not open up that jar ^^. There's tons of discussions about that. Ever since smileys had no sex and no race - but people with good intentions are over-complicating and over-interpreting stuff and screaming for diversity which eventually polarizes opinions more instead of finding a consensus.

Quoting: Mountain ManIt gets us focusing on the wrong things.

Good point.

Nice interview, that game sounds actually pretty interesting - but the PC-question was kind of unnecessary. Like someone is automatically a racist just because he doesn't include the token black guy. One could take this as an imputation - especially people condemning racism.

TIL that being non-white is analogous to being a cripple or a cat. Wow.

You're aware that this was satiric, right?

Just a small anecdote concerning AMD-Driver quality:

My secondary PC features a R9 270 along with a i7-2600k and 16gb ram.
My tertiary PC consists of a GTX460, an E8600 and 8gb ram.

Both have the same operating system (Xubuntu 14.04) and still the tertiary machine outperforms the one with the R9 270 a little.

I have to say that I use the open source drivers (oibaf ppa) on the radeon because the crimson stuff just doesn't work (and were buggy as hell back then when they still were working), but anyway... it's really impressive how crippling the radeon driver actually is.

On the plus side of course one has to mention that the OSS radeon driver really evolves slowly and performance as well as compatibility is getting slightly better with almost each update. There are almost no games left that won't work with it (at least in my library)... at the moment I can only think of dying light still refusing to cooperate. But that game has massive problems anyway at its current state.
