Id argue the first golden age was when Loki was busting out some solid titles. Can't think of another one tbh!

Quoting: Segata SanshiroParadox seem pretty busy at the moment. Cities Skylines is in less than two weeks and Hearts of Iron IV should be out in a month or so and El Dorado was released yesterday.

Depends on which studio did it, afaik, Paradox is a publisher as well as a studio so I think they have different studios doing different games.

On El Dorado this weekend (aztec and/or Icelandic Norse Republic) and HOI4 when that comes out! Love them.

I'm following this with extreme interest. Playing these games natively on my openpandora, or this DEC Alpha I'm building would be brilliant.

Kotor natively would be amazing too, all in all. Wish I could programme so I could help out. Will gladly donate though if it helps.

Quoting: MaelraneA rather "stupid" question, but does the filesystem you use change anything? For some games *I heard* it's bad to use anything but ext4. (Although I'm not sure how or why you would optimize stuff for a certain filesystem.)
I personally am running btrfs exclusively since a few months. May this be a problem with dying light?

Yeah, btrfs and steam are a bad mix. I had a problem where updates took forever and locked the system due to the copy on write nature of the fs. The trick to get around it is;

See the chattr commands. You will need to either purge/move old data and then move it back in. Only affects updates afaict though.

would love it to be GTA 5, KOTOR or FIFA. Problem with FIFA is, EA and their love of Steam :-/.

All in all, can't wait to find out what it is! My wallet is ready.

Quoting: Von

Quoting: FlutterRageI think there are more validation checks necessary instead of just checking if the variable is empty. At least check if it's actually a directory. If I used such a bad error handling on my clients' systems I'd be in huge trouble.

Yes, [[ -d "$STEAMROOT" ]] would have been a much better solution.

But doesn't that just make sure it's a directory? if the variable is empty then it runs like it did before but will only delete say... your home directory?

If anything I was trying to think of a safe way of doing this, maybe making the /* part of the variable name so if its empty the entire string is empty? Or just have it rm -rf $steampath, so if empty it basically does nothing? In the past when it comes to deleting things I had the rm command grep the target against a list to make sure it was only deleting something I gave permission too.

I'm curious to what everyone thinks tbf, always happy picking up scripting ideas.

I unfortunately have the green drives in my FreeBSD server (what FreeBSD on a Linux site? get him!), so yeah, time to see if I can fix these bad boys.

So getting the WD reds next time...

Well the reviews aren't too kind on this game, but since it was ported and its classes as a triple A. I've bought it.

Takk Aspyr! Keep em coming.
