I just wish my English was broad enough to have a better selection of words and enter the discussion with everyone. However, I can see how some users deliberately use "these people", "SJW", "mediocre" and all sorts of expressions to put down whoever is against them. The assumption that someone is worse than the average, just from their background/gender/etc is quite sickening really. I believe the CoC is in place exactly for that; so everyone starts from the same level regardless who they are. If meritocracy was a thing in Linux kernel development, now it will be the same but with more candidates. By the way, meritocracy is a good thing only when everyone has the same opportunities.

Some people have claimed CoC is a document to seize power, and that this will happen soon for sure, warning us all of a foreseeable doomed future to the community. It seems to me that fear is speaking. But of what? That I don't know.

Quoting: Dolus

Quoting: ArehandoroLet me tell you something, I landed on Linux because it was political all along. And I like it this way.

"Linux" was never political even about software freedom, that was the FSF's shtick.

And well done.

Quoting: liamdaweHappy for people to discuss such stuff, but please do remember GOL is a sanctuary for everyone to be involved. I don't want to see any hateful speech directed at any groups here please, no stupid snide remarks either about gender or anything.

That comment sounds like a CoC to me :P

P.S: I agree with your comment, just trying to lower down the tension.

Quoting: scainelike every CoC out there, to ensure that you get plenty of opportunity to change your ways. To encourage you to be respectful.

At the risk of sounding contrarian, I would rather be in a place where people can be disrespectful yet honest with each other and with themselves than in a place which polices what they can say. Even if it is uncomfortable. Although I understand why such an atmosphere wouldn't be for everyone.

I wonder what kind of disrespect does someone need to express to a kernel patcher/maintainer/whatever aside of their coding capabilities?

All these years thinking the Linux community was highly composed by a bunch of tech-o-hippiepunks only to realise in the last weeks I was wrong...

Let me tell you something, I landed on Linux because it was political all along. And I like it this way.

but it would be interesting how the vulkan port can compete with it

i hope it is YAKUZA. i think ZERO and KIWAMI are very similar to port, so they would have 2 games

I'd love to see some of the recent remakes SEGA has published on Steam. Yakuza or Shenmue would be outstanding additions to our catalogue.

Quoting: riusmaSeagulls are maybe for the band A Flock of Seagulls (always a song in the clues)? :whistle:

In their song "I Ran" there is a mention of Aurora (Aurora borealis). There could be a connection.

That picture somehow reminds me of Life is Strange but doubt Life is Strange 2 will already be under porting works.

Seagulls + Aurora... No clue.

I wonder what's the best way to emulate games that use both methods of control (d-pad/buttons+touch screen) on a PC. Keyboard/Controller+mouse sound weird to me.

The art was different enough to pique my interest first time Liam wrote somethign about the game some time ago. If the extra time helps, it's more than welcome.

Not enough time to play all the games I'd like unfortuantely, but will wishlist it if I run out of P&C games. Looks great :D

P.S: I know AGS means fiddling but AGS it's one of the best things that happened to the genre for many years, especially during the "dark times" at the beginning of the Century.
