Quoting: AnxiousInfusionMy store page is properly filtering Linux-only titles ever since adding it to preferences. I wonder why it doesn't work for so many other people.

Oh, that's new. Did it, mostly works. I don't mind having a few (like in "minority") Windows-only titles appearing in the "Now Available/Recommended for you"-Box, but if it's all of them -- like this morning, before setting that preference -- it's just a nuisance.

And, the writer might be professional -- in his native tongue, Russian.

Quoting: DrMcCoyNot nothing. They build up atmosphere and suspense.

I second you. That goes for other movies (and even games) as well. I mean, I know people who think "Aliens" is slow and boring. It's not, it builds up, then everything goes belly-up, and then again, everything slows down again. It's great.

Seen http://www.star-made.org/ [External Link] ? The planets there are dodecahedrons. And yes, they do look very funny.

I have played ARK for 352 hours. So I do have a a good idea how it works, and where the problems are.

Grindy-ness is one of these, and I think one of the reasons it's still early access. They haven't been able to find reasonable default duration and resource usage for the recipes. And yes, you can change these settings for your single player game or your server.

Other problems include too long startup times, and graphical glitches on linux.

It's less than an hour, but I still like it and think it was worth the $1.5.

Hm, it wants a newer OpenSceneGraph than Debian provides... I'll guess I'll wait a bit.

Yes, but does it run Fallout 4? ;)

Quoting: scaineI realise it's not a completely fair comparison because GoG were late to the party, but you go where the action is and I don't think GoG are providing much to shout out about.

I had maybe 300 DOS-games on GOG.com, and I kept pestering them about Linux-support (and delivering DOS-games without the Win32-exe of Dosemu, just the zip, please) when they started releasing newer indie-games that actually HAD Linux-ports (or the opposite, were developed on Linux and had Windows-ports), but the Linux-versions were not available on GOG. That was way before Steam had Linux support.

But what made them finally do it was Steam, because obviously Linux-users aren't going to buy the games from GOG when they only get the Linux-version when they buy from Steam (or Humble Bundle or something).

So if GOG was late to the party, then it's because they did not listen to their users.

I do own a lot of linux-games on GOG.com now, and I still buy at GOG.com, but only old games, nothing that is available on Steam.

Tried it, basically you have to repeat the pattern that's displayed, which might be rotated. All the while a clock counts down, so the faster you are, the more patterns you can click together. I personally didn't like it because of the timer. However, for 1 Dollar, that's ok.
