This is probably my favorite DE. Gnome and KDE are nice, but they are heavy and very full off features and other things. More like a whole suite. XFCE I like because there's not a lot too it. It's stays out of my way and let me game and do other basic things.

I'm glad it's getting some love.

Quoting: hardpenguinHuh, it never affected me THAT much. I guess my gaming sessions are short 😅. Plus one could restart the stream every now and then. Anyway, glad it is fixed!

Yeah, I've had this bug since it was introduced in 2019. Restarting the stream didn't always work. A reboot would, but that kinda defeated the purpose of remote play.

I'm glad they finally fixed it. I'm curious as to how it got introduced in the first place.

Thanks for the hint on the bundle!
Some of these look interesting, but I must admit, for the few free funds I do have, The Image Comic's Bundle [External Link] is very tempting. Saga alone is worth the 25$. I just finished reading it up to the end of volume 9 from my local library. It's very good.

Ya know the more I think about it, was the awards show any good?? I'm thinking not.

Yeah there were a ton of announcements, but.... It's cool and all, but I could watch any of those trailers when they drop on YouTube. And that really doesn't help differentiate it from an infomercial.

I get the ads and trailers and their necessity. I guess I wish there was a little more about the nominated games, their designers, and the creative process. I think that would have been cool.

On top of that, for Valve and their giveaway, it was a technical shit show. The stream keep crashing, kicking people off, the "ticker" counter would randomly reset or slowdown. Their two factor authentication system crashed. I'm not sure how much they were paid to participate or what other arrangements they had, but it made the awards look bad and incompetently run.

Unfortunately I can't comment on the skits and other things. It took 90 min for me to even get the stream working and I never got consistent audio (either nothing or distortions that made it incomprehensible).

Maybe next year they will have their act together, but I doubt I'll be watching.

Quoting: cprnActually, can they legally make improvements and not contribute the changes back upstream? Doesn't Zlib license forbid that? I know it doesn't say so explicitly but it was approved by FSF and I though all FSF approved licenses were based on this premise. Also, if it doesn't, how can it be described as "compatible with GPL"?

You can. You don't have to contribute back. That's the whole concept of forking.

Hopefully this generates some nice income for them. They've been a volunteer project, for what almost 20 years, right? I think I last played it 2009-2010. It's a fun game, but gosh it's hard.

This is very the most respectful "distro-war" thread I've ever seen in my life.

YAY

Thanks! I played Penumbra and it was ok, loved SOMA, mostly for the story, the enemies were kinda silly sometimes. I'll have to be in the mood, but I'll give it a try in the future, I promise!!

SOMA was great!
I've never played Amnesia, though... I believe all the hype that it's super scary, and that's scared me off of it, lol

I have 8bitdo controller for the switch. Really nice controller. I've been wondering about using it with a PC running steam. It's really nice they keep adding support!
