Small update to the PC info system today, you can now get a 'forum signature image'

Quoting: mattsturgeonWhile I agree the font is a little thin and perhaps not the prettiest, any bluriness is at your end (either your monitor, some image scaling somewhere or some other issue)
That's right; displaying the page at 100% zoom level fixes the blurriness.
On the other hand, the page is barely legible for me at that zoom level.

Nice -- though it's a bit jarring to see blurry monospace fonts; unless one can see them in their fixed-size un-aliased crisp bitmap glory, it's best not to use them IMHO.

Also Geeko seems to be a tad too small, compared to other logos.

Quoting: EhvisTurrican! That's why it sounded familiar.
Yeah they made the amazing Amiga ports of the Turrican series.
I didn't know that they were famous for their Nintendo stuff.

Thanks for the heads-up. I had played a demo of this when it first came out; never the whole thing though.

CD PROJEKT RED replied to me about The Witcher 3 and Linux, flat-out denying to answer any questions

So you haven't assigned your Caps Lock to be an extra Ctrl?
What kind of Linux user are you?

GOG withdraw their statement about The Witcher 3 never planned for Linux, they have no idea

Quoting: MintedGamerI've given up on GOG/CD Project Red at this point. A Linux version of GOG Galaxy has been one of the most requested features on the user wishlist for YEARS, and has been 'in progress' according to the FAQ for years and years with no updates.
As a filthy dual-booter, I have an installation of Galaxy -- even on windows it's a pretty bare bones affair, with lots of obvious features missing. Right now it's good mainly for automated patch downloads (some of which are unnecessarily large). They *might* be waiting to complete the feature set on the windows version, before porting it to Linux.

On the other hand, they already have a Mac port, so there's that.

The Witcher 3 was apparently never planned for Linux

Quoting: Mountain ManI seriously doubt Valve took it on themselves to advertise that Witcher 3 was coming to SteamOS,
Except that's exactly what they did -- in order to advertise Steam *Machines*, by way of making the Steam OS catalog appear more appealing than it actually is. At the time that 'SteamOS Sale' was meant to convey only one message, and that was that this new thing called a 'Steam Machine', was the kind of thing you could get, so you could play Arkham Knight or Witcher III on it.

Quoting: dubigrasuIndeed, SteamOS basically can be installed on whatever hardware a Debian Jessie can be installed.
So a Raspberry Pi too? :P

openSUSE Tumbleweed is my favorite rolling distro.
*Way* more reliable than Arch in my experience; nothing arbitrarily breaks every two days.
