Quoting: JuliusBoth endless ocean games should run fine with the Dolphin Emu on Linux ;)

The challenge in that case is to get Dolphin EMU running.

The Endless Ocean series on the Nintendo Wii are some of my all-time favorite "casual" exploration games. They're just so relaxing and mesmerizing, and I've been hoping for a long time that someone would bring something similar to the PC. Looks like I might finally get my wish.

Might almost be worth buying a SteamLink so I can play it from my couch on the "big screen".

Surviving Mars, please.

Now for my joke:

Why is a penguin superior to a monkey?
Penguins can't open windows.

OK, so it's not a very good joke.

These random giveaways are why I look through my Steam library every now and then and say, "When the hell did I get this?"

Quoting: shawnsterpAre all these Total War games they keep pumping out actually different? I have a couple but I gotta admit I haven't really gotten around to playing them.

That's what I keep wondering. I have Empire: Total War, and Total War: Warhammer, and they are virtually identical in terms of gameplay.

What? They couldn't be more different as games.

In terms of setting, yes, but in terms of gameplay, there are few significant differences.

Is the gameplay as good as the graphics? Because those visuals are gorgeous.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLAgain no crossplatform multi? So... again game not for me... Sorry Feral, I can't buy not fully working port...

It's not Feral's fault. It's because the game on Windows uses proprietary math libraries that are not available for Linux, so it's literally impossible to create cross platform play between Windows and Linux, at least until developers stop using those proprietary libraries.

Quoting: wvstolzingI didn't say they're making decisions against *their own* best interests; it's that they keep making decisions that screw consumers, and get away with it.

Which brings us back to what I said about most Mac users either not knowing or not caring about what changes are being made under the hood as long they can still open Safari and iTunes.

Quoting: wvstolzing'Crazy' is an understatement for how Apple's been abusing 'forced obsolescence' these past few years.

... and I can't fathom how their Mac (MacBook at least) sales are still on the rise. Haven't enough people discovered that a forced, arbitrary update can render their software unusable overnight?

I think for the typical Mac user, these changes are unnoticeable. After all, you don't need OpenGL to check Facebook, surf the web, and run Microsoft Office. As long as college hipsters can still run Safari and iTunes, what do they care what changes are made under the hood? And the Adobe suite, which I suspect is used by the majority of Apple's professional consumers, has been Metal compatible for at least 2-years.

We might think they're making dumb decisions, but Apple didn't become the richest company in the world by being stupid.
