Quoting: DolusYou'd think we'd have a decent OSS alternative to GameMaker by now.

Alternatives exist. Whether devs use them or not is a different question entirely.

Quoting: EhvisWith the name being an anagram for Undertale one may assume it is closely related to it. Is it some sort of free coda to the game? The website isn't exactly filled with information.

It's basically the first chapter of the game for free. Some have called it a "demo" but considering it's 4 hours long and has a decent story I'd argue it's a entire free game. And yes, the website looks scary but that's how Toby Fox seems to have intended it.

Calling it a "funny joke" is quite ridiculous. The only way you could construe the tweet as "funny" is if you are amused by the people getting offended by it, which is not what a joke is. The tweet itself was just marketing shoved into a conversation where it did not belong. I can bet that if Liam started plastering marketing slogans all over the articles and comments even the "lel funny joeks" guys would start to get annoyed.

Quoting: KayKay91I wonder if they have a source code of the game. Perhaps Icculus would make a native Linux port of it .

For System Shock 2 the source code specifically doesn't exist and that's why the Wine port was made. And I think it's a case of _nobody_ having the SS2 source code, nobody apparently kept tabs on it.

Perhaps one of these will be a good time to check out some cheap games from Windows-only developers for use in Steam Play?

Ultra yuck. Very ultra yuck.

Quoting: GuestYet you are portraying it as deliberate malicious intent when you have no proof of that whatsoever, apart from the posting of a guy who was obviously pissed off that his key had been revoked, and assumed it was due to his negative review.

edit: Moreover, this is not a Linux issue - other than the fact that the game has a Linux build, the poster hasnt even mentioned Linux.

Can you just admit you are wrong for once and politely get out? You are clearly just trying to instigate anger here, again, just to feed your sad sad desire to be on the receiving end of vitriol.

Quoting: fabertaweSame as edenist, this one sounds great.

I've lately been playing the sort of games I've shied away from and while it's great that it's expanded my horizons I've also got the problem where my limited game time will have to be spread even thinner! Maybe I should whizz through games faster instead of dawdling on each one and I might get a bit further into my backlog.

I'm not sure what to tell you. RimWorld is a game that can easily suck you in and not let go for a good while. So be prepared to use up your game time if you decide to have a crack at it. :P

A command parser and a game-specific data fixing algorithm? Yay... This is just about the most useless stuff they could have open sourced and will pretty much not benefit the modding community or anyone else.

It's a fricking game sale with a theme. Please, get over yourselves.

Here's something to consider. If you aggressively put people into boxes with negative connotations, it's quite normal for them to not be all that happy about it. Now, some might do a bit of introspection and strive to be better but others will take offense and could very well have less sympathy for those who suffer and have suffered. If you call someone an abuser they might just become one or turn a blind eye to those conducting the abuse, after all they've been called an abuser and they haven't done anything wrong so clearly the other guy is also being falsely labelled. You can say how you don't mean that they are the enemy and how you don't accuse them specifically but words have this property where their meaning is often up for interpretation. If your method creates more enemies than gains allies you might want to rethink your methods. If you keep throwing around labels then eventually the meaning of the labels diminishes.
