Quoting: LoftyWhy are Dev's still using Windows when they are developing cross platform applications ? At least use a Mac and reduce the vector of attack.

According to some sources, MacOS is even less secure than Windows.

Civilization games are great fun for the first half when you're shaping your empire and planning your overall strategy, and then a bit of a grind for the second half after all the big decisions have been made and you're just inching your way to victory (or defeat) one turn at a time. A 4X strategy game that moves along at a faster pace sounds great, especially if Johnson was able to somehow eliminate the late game slog.

The worst part of the video for me was watching him put his thumb in the path of the razor blade. He was just asking to badly cut himself!

Quoting: GuestIt isn't about selling steam keys cheaper elsewhere, it's about selling a (non-steam) game elsewhere cheaper has threats to delist the game on steam. It seems the judge has ruled that this is a plausible scenario, and is thus allowing the case to proceed.

The judge is not saying it's happening or not. Just that it's possible, and so a trial can proceed to determine the matter.

Wolfire was supposedly told that Valve will "delist any games available for sale at a lower price elsewhere, whether or not using Steam keys", which is demonstrably false.

The claim that Valve will delist games that are sold cheaper elsewhere is false on its face. Humble Bundle has been selling Steam games at a steep discount for over a decade, and not a single one of them has been delisted.

Sometime over the next week I'll be doing the upgrade, hopefully it will go smoothly. As this will be likely my first full distro version upgrade ever when using Fedora.

Unlike Ubuntu, I've never had any issues with Fedora's upgrade procedure. I'm so confident with it that I haven't waited for the stable release to upgrade in years. :woot:

For what it's worth, for the many years I used Kubuntu, I never had a single problem with upgrading. It always just worked.

Wow... now that's what I call long-term support.

I recently moved from Kubuntu to Manjora. This doesn't exactly entice me to move back.

Quoting: subWasn't that planned to be a free upgrade for those already owning it? :huh:

I think I remember that too. But Plans change I guess?

Well with the discount you can think of it as a 16$ addon to a 9$ game.

I received the original game for free, and I still felt ripped off.

Quoting: Mountain ManEh, it goes both ways. I once made a perfectly polite and respectful remark stating my opposition to a certain issue. In response, I was called every filthy name you can think of by a number of posters. Guess who got banned for "hate speech". Go on, guess. :happy:

Attacking people for something they have no control over vs being attacked over holding a view. One of these is hate speech and the other is not.

That's a very common rationalization.
