Quoting: tuubiScaredy-cats unite! I've only played a few hours so far, but mostly it's about the butt clenching tension of survival than actual brown-pants scares. It's a sci-fi thriller like the Alien movies more than outright horror. There's a constant sense of peril as you explore the space station. The game's stressful enough to keep me playing in short stints, and difficult and frustrating but the atmosphere is spot on and the experience is good.

thanks. Sounds like I may be able to play it in short sessions :D.

How scary is the game? I really don't like scary stuff. Especially Jump scares (which is basically the lamest way to scare people in media).

Adding
 LC_ALL=C %command% 
to launch options fixes everything for me. I found that somewhere in the steam forums. =) Works like a charm afterwards

Yeah... so far the game is completely unplayable. Hope they fix the bugs fast. I also get the bug where it crashes as soon as you move.

As much as I love Paradox games. They could at least try to fix the absolutely broken cross platform multiplayer. Wanted to try the new changes with some friends last night. Three Windows people and me with Linux. I was basically out of sync straight after unpausing every time we tried. Had to go back and use wine to play EU4. That kind of sucked. Especially since they probably won't convert soon after seeing that it didn't work because of me.

Quoting: Sbrega82a 40k users social network isn't so mandatory. Cut out the non-english speakers (seems to be a lot due to the fact that the two bigger servers are german) I think the minimal effort to keep the page up to date isn't worth.

I don't really see why it matters that the two biggest servers are German. Most Germans speak English, especially the ones involved in tech and political stuff (I guess that's diaspora*'s prime target audience). As a German diaspora* user I'd be happy, if we had channel, group, whatever in the network ;-).

btw. There already is someone posting a lot of links to GoL under the #linux and #games tag.
