Do farmers not deserve honor? After all, they provide most of the food we eat.

You heard the man, kneel before me knaves! :p

Still, I have to roll my eyes at most of this.

EDIT: Then again...

There are many obstacles and enemies that they must face. Those enemies include thieves, other farming organizations, politics, and even wild animals like wolves. We would like to show others what many people have to deal with in the agricultural world; things which may not be seen to all of the city-slickers, despite the rise in popularity of Farmer's Markets in metropolitan areas.

I am still laughing though. ;)

I am really curious to hear whether or not this is a new policy on their front or if they have just simply never bothered to give Cold War any DRM yet.

But yes - they do need to get a couple new games out. Prove that things are still moving. Still, this gives me some hope. :D

Quoting: "Guest, post: 5679"See, that's the issue. If DesuraNET relies on outside contributors on writing their applications, they cannot be taken seriously.

Posting this on a Linux forum = epic troll. Picking on something for being open source? Really? :rolleyes:

Their web interface is also getting better and better so if this upsets you so much you do not even need the client. Running with Scissors's recently dumped their own online download feature from their store in favour of Desura because you can just use it's web interface if you want. Plus, there is also the client if you want automatic update notifications and the like.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 5682, member: 122"I believe it was [URL='http://nixstaller.sourceforge.net/news.php']Nixstaller[/URL]. It also has the ability to generate .deb, .rpm and a bunch of other package types on the fly that can be registered with distro package managers

Edward Rudd uses Nixinstaller for his ports while Ryan Gordon uses MojoSetup. Rudd has been more active lately on the porting front (I guess Ryan having a wife and kid has finally managed to slow down his legendary prowess somewhat) so more and more of the Humble Bundle games are using Nixinstaller.

Personally, they both have benefits and flaws. Nixinstaller has more features but looks less professional as it leaves it's own branding in, while Mojosetup is more seamless and does not toot it's own horn. At least, that has been my experience.

My biggest problem with Desura/Desurium ATM is not any specific technical problem on their part but the fact that my Astaro Router is currently blocking it. We submitted it to their application database so that they can add a workaround, but because we are free users it can take time.

Still, I for one definitely do hope that not everyone gives up on Desura when Steam arrives. It is a good service and I trust it far more than I do Valve - even with their latest overtures.

The appearance of Crusader Kings II is interesting.

Well, I am not on Steam or GOG. You face a chicken and egg problem - why should Linux users have an account for something on a service that does not support them?

It was not screaming by fans that turned Valve's head anyway. Still, I do wish you luck...

Desura has a couple Dosbox enabled titles already - so it shows it can be done.

Would love to be able to buy One Unit: Whole Blood (for example) off of them and just expect it to work on my Fedora box. :D

Well,, there is no need to rush. Just the promise is a good enough thing ATM, no? ;)

Quoting: "GBGames, post: 5603, member: 248"I haven't learned 3D modeling, but ever since reading Programming Linux Games by John Hall many years ago, I liked the idea of taking a 3D model and being able to render 2D sprites from multiple angles automatically.

Ah, a true Linux gaming aficionado then. ;)

I actually kind of like the simplistic graphics, although I do agree that if he does not update them the game will not get the attention it may deserve.
