I do and finding stucked trains was a lot of work. A notification is highly appreciated. Wonder why this was not around before.

Quoting: Eike... or maybe because "Vulkan" is the German word for, well... a vulcan.
This works both ways. I simply didn't notice this error at all :D

City-building strategy game 'Banished' is no longer having a Linux port
14 Sep 2017 at 7:53 am UTC

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTActually I expected this to happen a few years ago already. It was pretty damn clear there won't be any port since it got postponed all the time.

I'm a bit sad since the game is supposed to be fun when a few mods. The game itself has not enough content.

The problem about the port was the engine was self-written without any usage of SDL whatsoever. It's pretty hard to manage rendering, I/O and stuff without anything like SDL, especially if the code should run on at least 3 different OS.
This. I remember some dev blogs talking about all the X issues and stuff. I guess reinventing the wheel tool a lot of time. There's a reason why libs like SDL are used by many devs. It eases so much pain.

The Frostbite engine apparently has partial Linux support but that doesn’t mean we’ll get ports anytime soon

Quoting: fagnerlnI hate people like you, that's one of reasons that I prefer stay away of discussions on linux sub-reddit.
So.. you just signed up to jump into this discussion here?

EA is burnt soil. I'm not a fanatic but an old fart when it comes to games. And I remember. EA managed to get on my personal blacklist years before I decided to walk the No Tux, No Bucks road. They may reach out as much as they like. Mayhap they'll manage to get some bucks from my children in a few years. Not on my watch though.

Tyranny – Bastard’s Wound released, some thoughts

You guys realize that the base game is 50% off on Steam and GoG right now?

I have the same issues with the price. Got it now on GoG for ~18€ now (had some "fair money" in that purchase). That's fine for me for this type of game.

Influence? Dunno.. what stops anyone from doubling the specs? Have also a gaming capable laptop. Would love to add it. Could open a second account but I am way to lazy for to just influence some stats ;)

Quoting: GuestIt's good you added Pay Pall. I don't want to be stuck with another monthly bill so I don't do Patreon, but I don't mind sending a payment or buying merchandise from time to time in order to support projects I enjoy.
You may consider Patreon again. It's perfectly possible to place "one time orders". That's up to the user. A subscription is optional (granted, only if this wasn't restricted lately)
