I wonder if they'll ever add broadcasting to the Linux/Mac Steam clients. Tried to share my game screen with my brother a few weeks ago, but the Linux client still doesn't support it. A bit odd since the Steam Link works just fine.

i have a SSD and space is valuable, but 3Gb is kinda nothing. 20GB is another game
My Fortnite install is 25GB including the Wine prefix (usually takes about 2 GB as well). The Culling is 5.6 GB on disk.

Quoting: TheSHEEEP500 key?! Will there even be enough of us for that who actually like BR games?
I predict that they're gone within a day. Even when restricted to existing account owners.

Quoting: ElvanexDamn, 500 keys??? That sounds like they're either crazy generous, or crazy desperate... lol. Either way, I'm always down for a free game. :)
I suppose those are keys to the beta of the BR mode that will be free anyway. So I would conclude that they simply don't have enough players at the moment. Of course it helps if the game would actually work. So let's see when that update arrives. Seems they may have learned something since they didn't mention a date this time.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyUhhh . . . are you trying to say that it's not possible, or somehow incredibly difficult, to type without your eyes on the keyboard if your keyboard is qwerty?
It's hard to unlearn 20 years of habit.

Quoting: EhvisThe game has a few bugs though. Binding the comma key messes up the input configuration. Not nice for those on dvorak keyboards.
Dvorak keyboards, huh? So yeah, I guess good keybinding is a major issue.

Haven't heard anything about them for a long time, though. I feel like the technological impetus for them is gone, or at least greatly attenuated. I mean, the point of Dvorak keyboards is that if you need to type an awful lot really fast, they're more efficient. Or rather, I guess they're more efficient period, but it matters if you need to type an awful lot really fast.
It matters if you want to learn to type without constantly having your eyes on your keyboard. Which is very useful in itself. And after having typed the "wrong" way for 20 years on a qwerty keyboard, it's nearly impossible to change your way. Switching over keyboards takes away your experience and allows you to start again.

Funny enough, I switched to dvorak at around the same time as I switched to Linux. Both are a superior solution that most people don't want to use because they get stuck in their ways.

The game has a few bugs though. Binding the comma key messes up the input configuration. Not nice for those on dvorak keyboards. And I have had several instances where the game soft locked during dialogues. Several weeks after reporting that (including save games and log files) I received a reply with the suggestion of deleting everything (including save games) and try again. Yeah, how about no.

Otherwise I'm enjoying it thought. But then I like these interactive story games when they're done well.

This looks pretty good. I'll keep my eye on it. Because I don't have enough games already. :D
