Ah a game about a molested person who is trapped in purgatory.
There should be a "slit your wrists" tag on steam as some media makes you loose faith in humanity.
I wish I could delete this from my library but I can't.

Buy games from G2A? You should just stop already, tinyBuild lost out on approx $450K of sales

I feel like this hasn't been said yet.
As a consumer/gamer I don't buy from G2A because I consider it unethical, I don't buy from them because I'm not even sure if I'll get what I pay for delivered, so I could loose my cash.
If a developer revokes keys that it notices were not from a authorized channel and they revoke them I suspect most of the whiplash will fall not on the developer but on G2A as it should, thus discouraging their business.
In this case the developer should fight fire with fire and write back threatening to revoke all keys from their store thereby harming their credibility and future business. This is the only way to apply pressure to correct the problem.
I buy from Steam primarily for the convenience factor, it remembers my payment information, is simple, I can gift games to friends, they have sales that make piracy take too much effort in comparison to buying a 70% off version of the game, they keep it up to date and patched for you, you have a friends list, its on linux, etc.. etc... etc...
As a consumer I'm not gonna change my buying habits to by from Bozo X Store to save a buck or two when they're shady as fsck.

I started with Arch Wiki, now I have a 60 page arch install guide including all optional configurations to optimize my deployments. I've since created Arch LAMP guides, and a Arch Clone guide which is neat.
Arch Wiki is the place where Linux Admins are born imo ;)

Quoting: Psycic101Quoting: ElectricPrismQuoting: PublicNuisanceUpdated. Wow I am surprised about the number of Arch users. I was led to believe by various users on different forums that it wasn't a very popular Distro due to it being harder to get the hang of. Maybe the news was wrong.
My mom uses arch, my brother uses arch, my wife uses arch, my moms office uses arch, I use arch, our laptops are arch and our Sofa Samsung TV uses arch too.
Make a install guide to expedite future arch installs, rolling release is the shiznit.
This? Arch FTW

Broforce now available DRM free on GOG, it's amazing, bro

Agreed. The primary benefit of Steam is that it updates my games and manages installing them all from one centralized location.
This is why I keep paying into Steam, plus their Linux support obviously.
If Gog got their Gog Galaxy client rolling I might register a gog account.
Origin on the other hand, there's no way in hell I'm investing into their abusive content distribution, after loosing $120 to Star Wars The Old Republic Online only to be hassled for a credit card and $20 for first month to get 30 days free - EA can rot in hell.

Quoting: GuestQuoting: wleoncioGOG is really trying to empty everyone's wallet before Steam. I like this competition. :)
Sadly I've actually held off buying some things because of convenience: I prefer DRM-free, but GOG hasn't released Galaxy for GNU/Linux. Real competition might start (for GNU/Linux) if GOG would actually do that.

This looks like a nice visual update.
The picture would seem to indicate a breaking up of the pad into 4 buttons by the cross deadzone. Would this indicate 4 different actions or i wonder the meaning.

It seems only fair to run the tests on SteamOS in my opinion. Seriously Ubuntu is trash

Unreal Tournament 4 needs a Linux Client badly so we don't have to manually update our UT4 installs from the tar.gz
If you talk to developers about their coding I think you'll find most of us do many odd things and simply enjoy the inventiveness of testing the hypothesis "Can I do.... X". Most of us never ask "Should I", or "Is this practical".
And then there scenarios where bugs become features like the . prefix in Linux indicating hidden files started out as a bug but became a feature later.
Quoting: Raven67854Seems odd to go through all of this work rather than use Unreal Engine 4's native Linux version. But hey! Could be cool for other projects like MonoGame.

The old graphics look has a rose-colored-glasses charm to it.
It's too bad this isn't out on Linux yet, I don't mind the cheesyness it reminds me of G-NOME by 7th Level - at this rate I'll have tons of games and 0 time :(
Maybe I can send a Steam Machine through a Time Warp to old me when I was screwing around in dependency hell on Fedora Core 2.
