Quoting: slaapliedjeBy the way, everything should be written in NCurses, graphics are way overrated.

I'm not so sure, I tried video in the terminal but it's not just the same:

Quoting: amataiWait, what ? Wasn't this a NCurses game on everyone's distro repos ? How can it be not available on Linux ?

I was going to reply with 'never have seen it in the Debian repos!' but it IS there. Did they only just add it for Bullseye?

Looking at the changelog, it has been in Debian since 2017.

Quoting: tgurrJazz Jackrabbit - Good old memories, not sure if modern computers are too fast to play these classics or if it's my brain that got too slow.

Disengage the turbo button on your computer (or enable it in your brain)!

Just FYI it's a design pattern. It covers how the dock looks, not how it works.

They do not have a patent for RGB on the Steam Deck.

Steam bah! A glorified Half-Life 2 launcher, a mere passing fad.

Quoting: EagleDeltaYou're missing that the Steamworks SDK, which is required to distribute a game on Steam, and since the Steamworks License is incompatible with "copyleft" licenses, any exceptions to the GPL to allow a piece of software to be distributed on Steam must be agreed to/decided on by the Software Authors, not just anybody.

That only refers to linking the binary with the SDK library, it's not a necessity to publish on Steam.

The SDK also contains shell scripts and helper tools to upload builds. Not a problem to use those with GPL licensed software.

Let's hope for a solar powered GPU with negative TDP and an instruction set that devalues cryptocurrency if used for mining.

I'm usually of the "go sports!" or "did you see that ludicrous display last night" part of the demographic but this one was quite fun.

Extra brownie points to the developers for displaying the correct button icons for my Dual Shock and not assuming everything is an Xbox controller.

I got it early from the Kickstarter and it's been a blast so far. Highly recommended!

Speaking of British humor, I wonder if there are any TCP references in there? Maybe not. I guess it would be a joke better suited for a game with network support...
