Steam for Linux Is a little messed up, here's the temporary fix!

Quoting: Quote from SamsaiEdit: Removing the appcache actually might affect installing games on Steam, but we have mixed results about that.
After reading that, I decided not to apply this fix just yet. I am way too risk averse for that!
Our friend GTux installed a bunch of games on Steam without a hitch, but it seems few games are uninstallable and I heard some people had problems installing their games, so I threw that warning there (don't want to get flamed and blamed). The games that are already installed remain unaffected. But playing it safe until a proper fix might still be a good idea.

Quoting: IvancilloThis subject reminds me some things TheEnigmaticT said the other day here in GOL.

About breaking compatibility as the systems upgrades.
Seems that he was/is right at this point. (Why this issue appeared with just no modification of the program? : cause the modification of the host OS (upgrades) ).

But in the other hand ... Yes, it happened, but it's not so terrific like he explained to us.

People reacted inmediatly to support users just the problem appeared.

And the issue is solutionated. No casualities, no need to refund to anyone. Not so terrific.
We Linux users are used to manage program issues as a normal thing.
This can be compared to broken compatibility to some extent, though the issue itself is probably a programmer error somewhere, but it really shows how the Linux community works when problems arise: some people figure out a fix for the problem and tell about it to others, who in turn spread the word exponentially throughout the whole community.

OpenMW Open Source Morrowind Engine V0.26.0 Released

OpenMW is definitely in my top 10 open source projects and these update videos are always interesting to watch. I might actually grab a copy of Morrowind at some point and have some fun with OpenMW.

I am using SimpleScreenRecorder to record the game and Audacity to record the commentary. Then I just sync the tracks in OpenShot so that the video has both the audio from the game and the audio from my mic.
Have you heard of Open Broadcaster Software?
There isn't Linux version
What? I swear a friend told me it had one...or maybe he said that it will come later. Checking the website, it seems like the latter. Sorry about that!
Don't worry it fine :)

I checked their F.A.Q and it seems that it is planned.
Mac and Linux are planned in the future once OBS has reached a more finalised state feature wise.
Take a look at what I found!

You sir are awesome for finding that! I am hoping he's able to port that thing and if I ever use it I will let you guys know!

Quoting: muntdefemsWelcome to the team, Samsai! :)

Really looking forward to your next casts. Will you comment while you play in the future?
Absolutely! I decided to leave the commentary out for this one, but I will try to do some commentary on the future casts.

Quoting: SpeedsterWelcome Sami, and I think it was smart of Liam to look for volunteers. Don't want him to burn out doing too much personally.
Thanks for the warm welcome! And yes it's a great idea to share the workload between people like this. Now he has more time to work on the news and he also deserves some free time for all the work he has put into this website and community. I am honored to help him out the way I can! :)
