Hmmm, still can't buy it on steamos... It gives this nice "An error occured" when I try to go to the product page. At least it means the site is probably sharding, as all other games are buyable.
Observer is a fantastic brain-hacking horror adventure, my thoughts

I'm not a native (any) english speaker, but I assumed he meant it positive.
As in: the good ports only get on Steam and not on Gog.

Quoting: jensActually, I am not sure if that is meant negative or positive. I know outrageously good, I haven't heard outrageously bad, and I know that "that's an outrage" is meant negative.Quoting: Alm888Just FYI, I have none.Then why and on what grounds are you stating in public that the work from Feral or Aspyr is "of outrageous quality"? Being jealous? Are you just a simple soul that repeats random stuff read somewhere else?

Linux marketshare on Steam dropped again in October, as China takes a massive chunk of the market

So, who is going to tell the software houses that they can either:
1) port their system to correct internationalization, have one big hell of problems, but also a big revenue to get chinese supported.
To be clear: the internationalization effort of Fortresscraft Evolved is taking almost a year now, and it is not finished. There are so many problems and new bugs if you even bother to try.
And you still have to translate (community job fortunately on FCE), and bigger titles need to do voice overs.
Steam always said: the revenue is big if you correctly translate an english game to chinese.
2) click on the button to build a linux version too.
3) why not both?
Anyway: chinese is a problematic market due to the language. Which chinese will you use, how will you represent and render the data? How will you change layout?
There are other standards in China too beside UTF-8, they already have 2 different coding standards. So it really is not easy. But it might be worth your while.

Wait, what? No live streaming of the actual purchasing? I am so disappointed.
Close-combat FPS 'Return to Planet X' is now on Linux, it's actually not bad at all

I wanted to say the assets looks a lot like alone in space. But then again, it's the same developer :-). I hope it has the same wall decorations :-).

Ah... The same key input bugs we probably have in Ark...
I didn't notice until they bound some keys to the keypad and other "special" areas, for things like taking a shit. I had to rebind that to a normal key, and bind that to a key on the steam controller.

Here's a way to fix the broken water in ARK: Survival Evolved on Linux

That Jat responded was a month ago and that loki42 did his magic was also more than 2 weeks ago.
If I knew that that many people needed to hear it outside the ark and steam forums I would have echo-ed it.
Personally I quit all steam forums about ark, except the linux bug track, and I only read ark forums a tiny bit. The original forums are a bit less salty. Endless tirades of "I bought this game in 2015 for less than $20 and I had at least 2000 hours fun with it, but because you have nerfed/bugged/bugsolved something I have to do things in another way and I now demand all my money back and I will sue your asses off", ok, slightly reworded, because I think that **** and ***** swear words. Oh, and don't forget that almost everybody is a better programmer :-).
I do want to try to install the windows version (using steamcmd), and try swapping assets... Not sure if that is possible.
And I need to free 200GB of diskspace for that...
If we get some limited/password beta test channel that gets a build that reports missing asset bugs and things like that, it might actually help them and us both out.

What have you been playing and what do you think?

It really looks good again. And playing with assets might be a way to figure out what's going on.
If you haven't bought ark yet, you might have to hold off a bit longer yet, or only buy it during discount. It still is not $60 worth, although the game itself is great. Otoh: you can buy it, but be prepared that it still is not 100% good. If you do not have nvidia, certainly for now do not buy it.
To be clear: the only thing I want to prevent is you feeling cheated out of your money and become the next salty forum member ;-).
The game to me is great. The opaque water was bad, really bad, but I still continued, since I already loved the game. The water is water again with the for now hand fix, have to check to see if they fixed it upstream, which they promised.

Quoting: soulsourceWould you be so nice as to elaborate? I haven't bought ARK (yet), as the ugly water was kind of a show stopper to me. Is the water fixed by a developer's patch, or does one have to fix stuff manually?The fix was of a guy that started replacing assets from the center into the island. It fixes all maps that use island assets, like ragnarok.

I fear I only play ARK, which looks beautiful again since somebody found out how to fix the missing water asset.
I am waiting for the new fortresscraft release which should have an automation item I need to continue my game.
Funny: fortresscraft evolved and ark survival have always been my main time consumers. In both I play a world that I started in 2015.
In the mean time I did play saints row, but these 2 games demand creativity... building effort. I like that.
