Leaving Lyndow removes Linux support from Steam due to masses of bug reports

Where he is talking about bugs in different distros, is there really that much difference when it comes to gaming? I'm genuinely curious.
If so, that's kind of frustrating. I always thought stuff that worked on Ubuntu would most likely work on Arch etc. Choice is good and all but standards are important too.

It wasn't a bad book I thought. It's a good mix of fiction based on facts. There was also a tv series, for those not keen on reading

Quoting: scaineI loved Balder's Gate back in the day, but didn't really like the mechanics in PoE much.

Hmm.. in my opinion Tyranny isn't really like Baldur's or Pillars. Has a very different feel to it.

It's good for the role playing aspect I suppose but I found it a little bit too simplistic.

Hmm. I really enjoyed Bastion, Transistor a bit less so. This doesn't really appeal to me at all though - and party RPGs are my bread and butter. I dunno what it is exactly, maybe the art style?

Quoting: MaCroX95Hopefully Valve will win, at least they are fighting for their freedom and consequently for user freedoms as well, only thing I can say so far.

Well, fighting for their money. They are hardly doing it for our freedom :)

Sounds like the guy who does the Honest Trailers. As for the game, I think I'll pass.

Interesting read. I guess we all just have to have a little patience and understanding.

Quoting: scaineI don't get who/what these cards are aimed at?

My old workplace (an engineering company) used to use a Titan for this modelling software they used. It required a really hard core PC. For them, installing the Titan cut their simulation time down by a matter of hours.

I remember putting that baby in there myself, knowing it was probably the closest I'm ever going to get to one :(
