Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe kernel. Thongs for the kernel. Software is all about presentation these days. Lean programming, sexy code, the list goes on.Quoting: slaapliedjeSteamOS is better than Ubuntu, for a game console. There are thongs they tune for the kernel.It's not really about how they tune the thongs. The question is, who is wearing them?

I'm surprised they still need a whole year of Early Access, last year's demo was already looking quite solid on the tech side. Are they not working on it full time?

Quoting: BlackBloodRumDo we Linux users really want to be associated with geeks? :PGeeks are fashionable these days, so eh why not.
It'd turn into "Linux is an OS for geeks" which is more food for the Windows trolls. :D

Quoting: liamdaweI never said the hardware tab was gone, I said the hardware page was gone. The Steam Machine page also might as well not exist, since the links to it were removed.Ah, I thought you meant the drop-down was gone.

I also get the Hardware tab on my end, just the Steam Machines are missing from the menu. Still seeing the Controller, Link and Vive.

Something like this wouldn't surprise me. Silently removing the obsolete product to make room for the new thing's launch so it has all the focus when it lands. IF Steam were going to release a new, self-branded console, it would make sense to stop advertising the older-generation, third-party one first. It would be nice to see some renewal on that side, even if it's just announcing a partnership to buy gaming PCs or laptops pre-installed with SteamOS instead of Windows from some well-established vendors. After all, the original batch of Steam Machines must be getting outdated by now, but a vendor installing a different OS on its computers can stay fresh indefinitely.
Without being overly optimistic, I at least am not worried about Steam's commitment to Linux just based on this. After all they're still paying for developer time on a few Linux-related projects, and just a few months ago they added the wishlist features to separate OSes from each other - though it could be improved, in my opinion it's a clear indicator that they want to incite developers to think about non-Windows platforms.

Quoting: FredOI'm sure they're just doing an Apple - taking the website down before the big announcement ;)
Quoting: ElectricPrismCould this mean they are preparing a official Steam Console? Perhaps Fall 2018?

Ash of Gods is a gorgeous but deeply flawed adventure

They announced this morning on Discord that they started re-editing the English translation. Hopefully third time's the charm since they had already had two editors go over it prior to release.
Quoting: Nikolay BondarenkoYou will help us greatly, please, if you point directly, just pictures where the problems are the most obvious - we have performed a full correction of the text by two literary editors in London and New York and all the comments that we sent to this early proofread were often written off to "literary preferences. " We are not native speakers, sorry, help us understand where and what is done in particularly poor language.

Quoting: 14I still haven't played a rogue game. I believe I have one in my library but I've never played it. It doesn't get me excited I guess. This game sounds really interesting. I'm looking forward to BTRE's review.There's very little that's rogue-like about it. Pretty much just some random encounters (not procedurally-generated, just happening at non-prescribed times during your travels; as far as I know at least) and the fact that you can lose characters forever, which is hardly uncommon to party-based games in general. What's less common about it I guess is that even the main characters can die without game over. I do wonder how that would work out since the story I've seen so far very much revolves around them.

Probably going to be my Soundtrack of the Year, at any rate.

Quoting: CyrilI installed it and it runs pretty well for now on my PC. (I backed the game)It's early to tell but I feel like I may end up liking this one more than I did TBS. For one thing, it doesn't have the repetitive "watch the caravan" cutscenes, and the combat is less bare-bones. I need to see more of the story, though, before I pass judgement.
It's great to see a "Banner Saga like" with Linux Support. Sad that Stoic dropped the Linux release.
Probably going to be my Soundtrack of the Year, at any rate.

QuoteBut I still think we should be supporting the platform anyway, and it's not like it's that much extra work now a days to do it.This is the kind of developer we need right now. People willing to work on making things available on Linux out of principle even though it's not an attractive market, making it easier for end users to switch to the OS, thus in time making it a more attractive market for those companies that will only be enticed by hard numbers. Kudos to him.
And, like I said before, if everyone supported Linux more people would switch over.
