Quoting: TheSHEEEPI'd use it if it wasn't Linux only.
As it is, Lutris is almost as useless to me as that Windows-only equivalent (forgot the name).
Which one btw? Playnite or Launchbox (AKA big box)?
Didn't even know there were two. I meant Playnite, anyway.

name of chrome extension ?
Tabli, in combination with Chrome's ability to sync your browser's data across devices if you are logged in.

Why? You don't use Linux? If you do, I don't understand your reasoning.
I use Steam on Windows.
I use Steam on Linux.
Same for pretty much every piece of software I use. Hell, I even have a Chrome plugin to make sure I have the same tabs open wherever I open the browser.
I stopped using GOG because I have no hope it will ever come to Linux.
When I switch platforms, I don't want to switch the software I use (well, other than the OS, duh).

Quoting: Sojiro84I guess I just should talk to every person in every town?
Always in these games.

Quoting: Sojiro84Seems like this was made just for me! I can't remember ever playing a game like this and I barely played the game since the official release. I walked around a bit, talked to a few people but got no clue what to do or where to go.

No big shiny markers pointing me where to go, which is fine, but the first combat encounter I had I died straight away vs a bear. I was weak and had no weapons.

Also I was dieing of hunger and have no clue how to make/get food. So hopefully this tutorial explains all that so I can actually enjoy and play the game instead of leaving it collecting dust.
I remember the times when not everything was presented to the player on a silver platter and people were actually able to figure out complicated stuff like food being sold by vendors / prepared at campfires or the quest journal not spelling out every detail, instead just giving hints...
Modern games really turned lots of gamers into... less self-reliant versions of themselves. A shame.

Seriously, though, how was your first combat encounter a bear? They really are rather brutal early on, but the game starts with that campfire scene, which is a combat, followed by going immediately to the first town, which has a couple of rats and insects around for new players to gain XP with. Accompanied by a quest that will make you run into those.

Finished my playthrough just before the patch hit.
It was a really good experience then, so it getting better for a later playthrough is certainly welcome.

Quoting: Guestyeah i have problems
i have problems because everytime i go on internet i see words content work job content work job.

im not here for content but for information cuz there is forums and people who are on here share similar interests.
and i don't ahve negative preconceptions for word content but this word makes me feel negative.

why can't you use your brain and use different word?? why is everybody the same and uses the same words on internet? content work job??
examples:
i go on path of exile forum. people comment content and beg devs for content
i go on diablo 3 forum. people cry that blizzard dont put new content so game is crap
i go on runescape forum and read how people like the content
my friend who watches youtube all the time and youtubers he hears this word all the time and he hates this word too. it's not just me.

after seeing word content on internet trillion times in one year, it may make me feel negative. if you feel negative cuz of my posts then just ban me, and you will have your content.
Is this some kind of performance art?
Because it is really impressive.

Either way, I continue to like the site, news and the odd information and funny stuff in the discussions.
Go on.

Unity have updated their Terms of Service and they seem a lot more fair

Well, guess my opinion differs from the official definitions then.
*shrug*

Quoting: eldakingI think there was one more step [External Link], with Improbable claiming that Unity had explicitly told them they were not in violation and the entire "notified one year ago" was solved.

Anyway, it is certainly an advancement on one front, but proprietary software is still a huge liability.

As for the other companies involved, you know what would be actually cool? If Epic, instead of opportunistically giving money for people to use their (equally proprietary) engine, open sourced Unreal to actually solve the issue. Or if Improbable partnered with Godot instead.
Unreal Engine 4 is already Open Source. Do you maybe not mean change the license to be a more permissive royalty free one?
No, UE4 is NOT open source. Their license requirements are far from being in compliance with the open source definition: https://opensource.org/osd-annotated [External Link]
You can view something's sources? Open source to me.
I don't think a website called opensource.org gets to define what open source is or isn't by putting up additional requirements.

As that would lead to sentences like "The sources are open, but it isn't open source."
That just doesn't sound right to me.
