Quoting: slaapliedjeSorry for the bit off-topic, but I started the new Prey game last week. So far I liked the plot of the original better. Did the port of that get finished?

I do have an article on the original Prey:

Quoting: tofuheadbaldurs gate 2 enhanced edition.. it's been awhile since i played this last so time to try it again on my tablet. so far enjoying a lot. summer for me seems to be time for rpgs

In my case the winter and the early spring is best as I did find a lot of value in going through the Baldur's Gate games while I was waiting on cows to calve or when the weather outside was too poor to do any real work.

In the summer I am too busy which is why my party is stuck just having left the Underdark at the moment. :|

Quoting: itarantoCan you explain why you needed image_roundDown "0" ?

I am not an expert on the various settings; I was mostly working back from other guides. If you can find no value to using that particular setting then feel free to go without it. You probably know more about this than I do.

Quoting: itarantoAlso, the game crashes on exit every time, does anyone know how to fix this?

I have never had that problem, but I would suggest removing the bundled libgcc_s.so.1 and libstdc++.so.6 libraries just to see if forcing the game to use your own system libraries resolves the issue.

So just got an update for Postal 2 on GOG.com; it is still Windows only though. Paradise Lost was also just added to GOG.com today, but again, still Windows only for the moment. The changelog for Postal 2 mentions that the "Mac version will be updated as soon as possible" with no mention of Linux, although seeing as how Linux would be an entirely new platform for the game on GOG.com that is not in of itself surprising.

Progress finally seems to have been made, is what I am saying.

I have never actually played an Egosoft game, but I was really impressed with how they stepped up to continue supporting their titles on Linux after LGP gave up the ghost. Great to see that is something they wish to continue.

I just took a look at some of the account profile numbers similar to mine. Profile number 1 is Liam of course, profile number 2 no longer exists, then you have MaximB who directed me to GOL in the first place back in 2009 from his own Linux gaming blog, followed by two people who have not logged on since around the time they first joined, before you finally get me clocking in at number 6. Next active poster is at number 12.

I am officially claiming my right to be called a Great Old One and demanding a holiday home be built for me in R'lyeh.

Quoting: jensSorry, re-reading your posting several times, I don't get the essence. Would you mind to explain?

Sure, no worries. It is just that Linux users very often tell Windows users that their choices are bad and that they need to improve, and I can't help but feel that a lot of the people upset with Shmerl would be fine seeing the exact same attitude expressed if he was arguing against Windows usage rather than using Steam.

Quoting: jensIt actually makes me kind-of sad to read again an implication that my choices are bad and that I need to improve.

I am sure quite a few Windows users say that about Linux users all the time, and not always without good reason.
