Is it my delusional perception, or have companies really stepped up this giveaway thing recently? I've lost count of how many games I added to my collection this year, from giveaways. I guess it's an efficient advertising strategy. Maybe.

If you're a heathen double-booter like me, by the way, ubisoft is currently giving away Assassin's Creed 4 (which is a very good game, by the way). Earlier on they gave away Watchdogs.

Quoting: ArdjeIf you look for instance at the CBM8050 dual floppy fileserver you can't clearly see a mechanic, just a slot... That mechanic is there, but it's hard to see... You had to push it a bit backwards and then pull it downwards, until it springs into place.
... I do acknowledge that in the game it looks clear, so you should have seen at least something.

Yeah; what they have in the game looks like the Apple Disk II's slot, with the latch completely removed.

Quoting: ArdjeHmmm, 1540/1541 needed to be pushed down.

Then with the 1541-II, they adopted the turning latch/lever; which is what I used to have.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPYou got it all wrong. They imported their drives from Arstotzka, where they have always been manufactured that way.

The driver looks more like it's been imported from COBRASTAN, where they're sold by this guy. [External Link]

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: wvstolzingLooks nice, but why did the 5.25" floppy have to enter the drive backwards?

It is getting more and more likely that the current generation of devs have never actually used floppy disk or even seen one in real life.

They also got the disk slot right; but forgot to add the latch.

I feel so old.... :(

It's also DRM-free on the Humble store.

I hope it'll also be on GOG by the time I can get it. (Zachtronics's games appear on GOG always after some delay.)

I was finally able to play after today's update (kept segfaulting previously); it's really good. Though I hope it doesn't turn out to be as addictive as Super Hexagon ... I lost countless hours to that game.

I feel a bit more guilty for dual booting now; I only filter out OS X, so stuff on my wishlist won't show up as Linux-specific wishes. On the other hand, they won't show up as wind0ze-specific wishes either; but still....

Quoting: MarkyI would instantly jump on an official wine wrapped port of DooM 2016, for example.

Off-topic, but: On my computer, DOOM 2016 (Vulkan) runs better on wine, compared to native wind0ze; the latter has some annoying visual artifacts, stuttering at places, etc. -- under wine-staging there's none of that. I have no idea how or why, but it's pretty amusing. The win partition is clean (just a few games) and well-maintained, so it can't be a borked installation.
