Anyone else got problems redeeming last weeks games ? When redeeming the code on the gog website I am stuck in a login (while already logged in) / mfa authentication loop that completes and then goes back to login/mfa/reedem/captcha.
Tried different browsers and the problem seems to persist since last Friday.

Quoting: mt7479they now offer a 1980s-inspired all-in-the-keyboard unit in addition to the traditional bare PCB versions.
Thanks to both of your for taking the time to reply :-) The commodore style is just adorable. 4GB Ram is really
a concern, i'm not really much into social media stuff but like to keep a few tabs always running.

A version with 8 Gig ram would really be rad. If prices settle and I can find one I might give it a try either
way. Probably going to install the OS on a USB drive though.

Looks like Valve may be preparing a 64bit version of the Steam client

Not so excited about the possible 64 Bit Client, but the Steam Client UI needs an overhaul. The android app is even worse.

Quoting: subOn a side note. Quite interesting read when it comes to Valve.

So far I'm a big supporter of them and grateful for what they did for Linux.
Yet, if that's even remotely true then I'm deeply disappointed by the mismatch
between what they want people believe how they are working and what it is really like.

No wonder we probably won't see any great games anymore from them,
when people are now working in such a hostile environment.
There where some Twitter posts about the abysmal working conditions at cd Projekt Red some time ago too.

I think it's best to not have any kind of "heros". Everybody will do stupid shit given enough time.

Support with your money while the goals align but go somewhere else if the situation becomes more negative.

While I have no direct use for steamos I'm at least going to do a test drive, like all previous releases.

Looks like survival game 'Stranded Deep' is now officially available on Linux

Exactly my type of game. Not to happy about the Linux release / no Linux release shenanigans but look how it turned out for Ruiner.
