Wishlisted it, though I'll probably get Stardew Valley first. I also typically prefer to play with a controller so I hope its controller support issues get patched.

Of course that's a thing

I don't back a whole lot of projects these days, but I love anything with dinosaurs and was feeling generous this morning.

I've kinda noticed something about the Linux gaming community. I can't say for certain that it's coming from the same people; any community is bound to have a diversity of opinions. That said, the overall reaction to developers supporting (in varying degrees) or not supporting our platform seems rather inconsistent. On the one hand, you have developers who can't be arsed to support us officially in any way whatsoever, and the reaction to that game just happening to work on Linux is an overall positive one, like Linux gamers are just glad to have a bone thrown their way. And then you have situations like this where the overwhelming reaction is one of "if you're gonna support us at all, then do it *right* or bugger off forever!" Quite frankly, I'm not convinced, given our apparent permanent minority market share status, the community as a whole has the bargaining power to act that way.

Linux in general just gets the short end of the stick for proprietary anything, and in general I feel that using Linux on the desktop is taking your life into your own hands (in both the good and bad sense). It just seems more logical to expect to have to get things working as a community or on your own for any game regardless of whether or not it's "supported" for your OS (and if you use anything other than a recent Ubuntu or Mint, then you're not likely to be officially supported anyway). So I just don't really "get" being upset when a game is put out on Linux but it doesn't get Windows parity all the time.

I don't mind if Steam (or any other store front for that matter) doesn't want to allow games which have pornographic content (or at least versions with such content) on their platform. I'd just like them to be more consistent about it. This particular developer's other games are no different in regards to sexual themes, and yet those are already on the platform rather than in limbo.

I might be interested for using this for my parents' TV for those propietary streaming services depending on the details, but I don't feel compelled to pre-order much of anything these days.

Oh wow, I'm digging the style. There are a lot of side-scrolling platformers for me to get around to playing these days but I am actually pretty excited for this.

38 games? Ethan Lee is a hero!

This game has been showing up in my Linux library despite missing an executable for quite some time now. I was wondering when they would get around to actually getting us a release.

Nice to see it might reach some of its cooler stretch goals; the campaign had seemed to slow down there for a while.
