Man, I need to get back into this game. I bought the season pass and enjoyed my first two playthroughs, but somehow lost interest and haven't yet played with the second and third DLCs active. I keep meaning to play through again, maybe now's the time!

The next round of our user-powered statistics has completed, take a look

Quoting: liamdaweThose two graphs are quite different. All graphs show a max of 10 items.
I'm just wondering if that's intentional, or a limitation of whatever code you're using to generate them.

Quoting: liamdaweAll graphs allow you to view the full statistics of each in the dropdown below them.
Thanks, I didn't know that.

Huh! My desktop resolution (1920×1200) is actually the second-most common. I totally would not have guessed that. (Though I kinda regret going for it now, as it makes it troublesome to record full-screen videos for YouTube.)

Also, are the graphs truncating things to show only ten options? In the first graph of Linux Distributions (Combined) things like SteamOS and Slackware show up, but are absent from the Linux Distributions (Split) graph. I can see this being a stylistic choice (for instance if there are several dozen distributions with only a few users each), I'm just curious if it's intentional.

Always nice to see a game I helped Kickstart working out well! I didn't get their usual monthly newsletter so this is the first I've heard of the update.

What game are you truly thankful to have on Linux & SteamOS?

Quoting: RedjeEuropa Universalis IV is my number 1 for Linux! :)
I was just going to say the same thing. :)

The other big one would be Minecraft, which is probably my most-played game of all time due to playing with a friend.

Linux Gaming in 2016, an end of year review

For the strategy/4x fans we had Stellaris and Master of Orion both arrive with day-1 Linux support.
And Hearts of Iron IV. :) Paradox in general has been amazing at making sure everything they release is released to Linux, Mac, and Windows simultaneously.

Some more site updates today, various sections changed

Quoting: liamdaweWe don't talk about the time Liam tried to compile OBS, nope, never. Totally didn't brick my install somehow by probably following the wrong instructions.
Oo, ouch! …I mean, I'm sure glad that never happened, yup! :whistle:

New GOL site update released, read on for what’s new

I like the idea of a separate system for reporting spelling and grammar mistakes; I wish more websites had that!
I'll be sure to let you know if I spot anything. :)

Our latest user survey is done, Steam Controller seems to be the favourite

Quoting: liamdaweTime until drop-off to be worked out yet, it will be as easy as hitting update while changing nothing to just keep you in the system if nothing has changed :)

Also, remember guys, this isn't supposed to be some hard-hitting survey, this is for-fun to give an approximation. No matter how we do it, it's not going to be 100% accurate.
Ah, thanks. Was worried I'd end up not getting counted for not changing my distro for two years or something. :) (Actually not changing it, not just forgetting to update it. :P )
