Yeah!... I'm reinstalling my gaming rig, in a few minutes I will be playing this game. Sadly I bought the game long time ago when I was only on Windows... but anyway, thanks Feral.

I'm going to buy to Feral directly the next time... ^_^

I do have a big soft spot for Don't Starve, especially as we played Don't Starve: Together for GamingOnLinux 6th birthday (see this picture).

Reminder... You have to plug in your laptop... the battery is dying! hehe :D

AMD could be back in the CPU performance game with Zen
15 Mar 2016 at 8:57 am UTC

I hope AMD's new CPUs are really good in performance and heat. We need competition on prices to be able to make a really good powerfull commercial rig (Steam Machine cof cof... :whistle: ) at a breaking (console like) price.
We are stuck in the Intel CPUs because the temps. The i 6XXX CPUs are much cooler than the AMD counterpart... and this is critical for a small form factor case.

Fact. Valve never going to make a game exclusive for its platform. (steam machines)
Microsoft its making exclusive games for xbox one.
Valve is making games exclusive to their "platform", which is Steam, the same way Microsoft is making games exclusive to their Xbox/Windows store
Wrong: you can play the valve games in windows, mac and Linux, even in consoles, and they said that
they are not going to make any SteamOS exclusive. A Microsoft Win10 exclusive will be Windows 10 ONLY. Its all about diferent PC OS.
I think you misunderstood me. I think that for Valve, the OS doesn't matter at all, their platform is Steam, not SteamOS. They don't make any money from consumers using a specific OS, so they don't care, as long as the OS doesn't hinder them. That's why they started encouraging Linux when Microsoft started pushing their apps on Win 8. On the other hand, Microsoft sells Windows and the app store exclusives are just a way to push their OS, they already did something similar with Halo 2 and Windows Vista.
I understand you now, but I thing your point of view is wrong. Valve's platform is the PC. If the PC locks down to Microsoft's windows 10 market there is a possibility that Steam will be blown up at some point. So Valve cares about the OS, be sure. If they didnt care they never develop Steam for Linux or SteamOS(less than 1% of the gaming market share)
