I played the demo and I definitely enjoyed it. I am looking forward to this game but for sure it is better to wait until it is ready for release.

It is whitelisted in my steam account since I played the demo.

Kerbal Space Program will continue to be upgraded with a new version on the way

I am a big fan of KSP so it is great to see that it is getting some needed updates. Sadly since take2 took over, the updates for KSP were IMO mostly unnecessary and I lost a lot of interest.

Spoiler, click me

I think KSP became so relevant because of its community and its mods. The problem is that with each release they break mod compatibility so all modders have to catch up. When your release basically offers features that are already provided by mods (because mods do not work on consoles and take2 pushed for console support) you only get broken mods that are core to the game experience.
I stopped playing because of this, I couldn't spend more hours trying to see which mods were compatible with the new release than playing the game. And I think that important KSP youtubers like Scott Manley stopped playing because of this too.

They should have focused on improving mod support and core game features like graphics and sound. With 1.8 we finally get some graphic improvements!

I am not excited at all about KSP2 because I am already seeing the path they are taking...

While there's no date for the Linux version of Insurgency: Sandstorm, NWI remain committed to do it

Also their Linux port of Insurgency was very poor. They did not tested it at all before updates and it was full of bugs and lacked of several basic features... like shadows! If they are going to "port" it the same way, I am not interested.

Quoting: mylkadoes it really need 14GB
In my case it was just ~6.5GB, however I have no sound so maybe I am missing something (despite the local files verification says it is ok)

A developer from Bohemia Interactive wants to know your interest in the Arma 3 Linux port

Definitely interested here! I bought the game knowing that it was an experimental port just to support the port itself. I wish I could play it in multiplayer!

Surviving Mars!!

Three sysadmins have a crash in a car against a tree. The car is broken. It refuses to move.

The first sysadmin uses Mac and says: "No worries, I have a good customer support. I will make a call and we will get the car fixed"

The second sysadmin uses Linux and says: "Don't bother with that. I have all the tools here to fix it. It will be way faster if we fix it ourselves".

The third sysadmin uses Windows and says: "Guys, why don't we just try to get out of the car and enter again?"
