Looks like something that would take me ages to figure out :S:
Cool idea nonetheless!

Finally a music store where my purchases will count as a Linux sale! :D

Seriously, though, good stuff.

Quoting: Hori

Quoting: PangaeaWindows IS still going in the wrong direction. Long may it continue.

But why tho?
What is the reason we "hate" Windows? Is it just because, or is it because it's going in a wrong direction?

Wouldn't it be better for everyone if it just started to go in a good direction instead?
Of course this is not likely to happen, but it's a valid question.

I for one wouldn't care for Linux growth if Windows would be a decent, non-spyware OS. Tho that doesn't mean I'd switch, far from it.

My thoughts exactly. I don’t love Linux because "it’s Linux", like someone supports a sports team because it’s based in their town. I love it because it does things right. If Microsoft did more things right, everyone would benefit, starting with the masses of people who don’t know there are better alternatives and just buy a computer at the store.

Microsoft doing more open source, embracing open standards and having less spyware and better security should be something we can all look forward to. Especially since YOUR data is going to end up on a Windows system no matter what OS YOU use. Windows continuing to suck and get worse is only really helpful insofar as it drives people to better alternatives, and I would rather it be an advocate for those best practices than drive people to them out of sheer exasperation.

In a world of botnets, State profiling and corporate interests, "bad computers" are a threat to the whole network.

I’m keeping an eye on LUNA The Shadow Dust, and very curious to finally see what Death Trash looks like at release :)

Thanks for taking the time to put this list together, Liam!

I can give a warm recommendation to Nowhere Prophet [External Link] as well, 25% off.

I might get Hand of Fate 2 although I haven’t quite managed to beat the first one yet.

Borderlands 3 for sure. GreedFall could interest me. Assassin's Creed Odyssey also sounds good. I would have said Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, but it got so cheap in the Autumn Sale that I went and got it for Proton.

And as always Horizon: Zero Dawn in the "it’s a beautiful dream" category :whistle:

Quoting: eldakingOf course, what I really want is for Office to stop shitting all over standards and making their files incompatible with every other software.

Same, I’m a lot more interested in Microsoft opening up their standards or switching to open standards than in installing their software on Linux. I like LibreOffice just fine but it still shits the bed when I receive MS Office files with frames and absolute-positioned content.

People who make CYOA-like books and their derivative digital versions have already come up with a variety of non-infringing terms for them. Off the top of my head, there’s gamebook, adventure book, interactive fiction/story/adventure/novel, choose your own ending/story/path...

The CYOA company is probably just angry because unlike Kleenex and others, a lot of people don’t even realize that it’s a brand and not a generic term, so they don’t get as much promotional value from other companies keeping the term alive.
