Quoting: dvdI could never get into those games. CS was so good because it had fun gameplay, and it ran even on your toaster. Can't say the same of the new ones (Source, GO), even though i still like them. I don't really understand the argument that it was dated, since before GO none of it's successors or other games offered a comparable experience. (for me at least)

All you can do in CS is shoot and crouch behind boxes (I'm not saying about tactics, just about basic controls). In CoD4 you can go prone, crawl, aim down sights, use perks, unlock stuff, play more game modes. I hoped Valve would release a modern online FPS, but CS:GO appeared to be a CS:S reskin. It's not a bad game, just inferior to other online games for me.

Quoting: ElectroDDRemember that in official matches, we had 5 sec to buy equipment... And autobuyers and macros and scripts were forbidden in tournaments.

It takes only one second to b42o2o4.

Yes but all those game modes aren't all that original, most of them are just taken from quake or cs. Pretty much the only exciting concept left in online games is class-based games like team fortress or overwatch.

I don't really play many online shooters nowadays, as i find most of them are too boring. Even on CS i only play the occasional match. I prefer games like wasteland 2 or xcom these days. I would also like games like TES, but those never seem to come out for linux, except for the witcher 2.

If Debian won't have the same problem, it would make sense for them to support it, as they already base Steamos on top of Debian iirc.

Quoting: ageresI had been playing CS 1.6 very much when I was a University student. I played rather well on LAN servers. I wish I spent time more on studying than on Counter-Strike though. My favourite maps were aztec and cbble.
I still keep screenshots made those years (2005-2007). But when I saw Call of Duty 4 multiplayer first time, I immediately realized how outdated Counter-Strike was and lost interest in it.

I used to play it on a LAN in the library. I still have way more hours in 1.6 even though i still play the odd session with GO. My biggest disappointment is that they never really released more challenging/interesting maps in "war games". I probably should play more on community servers, those were the hearts of 1.6 too.

Quoting: Asustadia will look like linux at first then it will get ugly after some time. Just like android.
I won't be surprised when google fork gcc and make a new compiler for that platform.

They have no reason to, since "Stadia" or whatever will only run on their servers. The more software they rewrite the more maintaining it would cost. They will probably write the bare minimum needed to provide such a service, like client applications for various machines/operating systems they plan to deploy their services on. (probably phones and windows)

Quoting: lqe5433All Stadia games will be also published to Linux/SteamOs?
This would be the best, but I'm afraid it won't be the case...
However port a Stadia game for Feral should be an easy task, right?

Not necessarily, there may be legal blocks, unwilling third parties, etc. For most of the big studios it probably wouldn't be a huge issue to port a game to linux, but the time it takes they probably view as a waste.

Atom RPG, hopefully trying out the new stuff they added. Probably going to try the new-old elusive target in hitman 2 too, and a few rounds of dead cells.

Quoting: KimyrielleThe EU is in that fuzzy "not yet a nation, but not individual states anymore either" state. It's written goal actually IS full confederation one day. It's taking a while, because there are too many dumbass nationalists around that don't understand the "the sum is greater than its parts" thing.

That's quite a naive interpretation. People like that are a convenient excuse for the western (mainly german) capital to maintain the status quo. Here in Hungary for example, the marriage between the state and the german auto industry takes on such insane size that these german companies pay virtually no taxes, get funded up to 50% for building factories, and get away with paying their employees less even in a regional comparison.

Quoting: SalvatosBut can you copy the installed files and move them to other systems and across OS upgrades or would you need to use the installer every time?

Of course you can. OS upgrades only affect openmw, which you can reinstall/recompile. All it needs from the original game is the data, which should be safe as long as you don't wipe your partitions or make a backup of it.

Quoting: dvdI reallly like how much simpler this UI feels. I'd hope we get some customisation options in the future too - like getting rid of the ad pop-ups and making steam launcher the size of the old friends list window.

FYI you can already do both (the first in the settings, and the second in the toolbar, IIRC).
Not sure if you meant more options like these, or specifically wanted those?

Cool, thanks! I didn't know about the first one (although now i think i found the right checkmark).
