How to be a great advocate for a niche gaming platform
23 June 2018 at 2:18 pm UTC

I see a lot of exageration about free software advocate. For my part, I strongly support free software for utility software and I use almost 100% FOSS software games excluded.
But, games can hardly be called utility. There is no reduction of liberty induced by closed source games. I'd rather have open source or LGPL engine but I don't realy care whether games are proprietary or not. I always pay for my games (I "own" ~ 200 on my steam library) and I tend to pay for the softwares I use too (peertube campaing still on kisskissbankbank folks, they need your money more than Mozilla or the Linux Fondation).

So there are FOSS fanatics that play steam video games and pay them :D

Nice review,

Maybe there should be a tag or something in order to be able to group the play it now together, it seems it is the second but I missed the first.

Quoting: tuxdeluxThis is a result of the metoo movement. This isn't coming from a cabal puritanical guys, as guessed by some of the comments, but a reaction to outspoken women agitators. I am fine with the censorship, but let's make sure we put the responsibility for the changes where it belongs.
No it is not, it is totally comming from puranical guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_on_Sexual_Exploitation
QuoteMIM was first formed by Father Morton A. Hill, Rabbi Julius Neumann, and Rev. Robert Wiltenburg (a Lutheran pastor) as a neighborhood organization under the name Operation Yorkville.[6] They were soon joined by Rev. Constantine Volaitis of the Greek Orthodox Church.
Not what I would call feminists nor women agitators. So yeah, let's put responsability where it belongs

Anime character look very young, but that is because the style of drawing is curved and lack the age indicator you would expect from other drawing style. Character never looks mature, they can look old with wrinkle but they never look mature.

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

The Witcher 3, that is the most needed game on Linux. It will be a success as almost every Linux gamers seems to ask for it. We were promised it so there is much frustration. We wants to support CD Projekt because many Linux users are fond of what GoG does. All of my heretical friend that have not understand how harmful Microsoft is for them told me that the game is amazing and we badly need a AAA RPG on Linux.
If not why not a Japanese console port, so that Japanese PC gamers can consider using Linux.

Btw I don't have a twitter account

There's a brand new Humble Bundle with almost all the games on Linux, oh my

Quoting: MayeulCWell, after reading these comments, I hesitate a bit...

These games ought to be DRM-free!
But they are! Just copy/paste the game file. If I remember well, it is even open-source and cross-platform (some python stuff)

Feral Interactive are teasing a new Linux port again

There is a "parc Walt Disney" in front of the fort Bicêtre in Kremlin-Bicêtre (a communist town just south of Paris, have you guessed by the name?).
Dotnod studio is on the North of Paris, so it can't be that. There is this video game studio in the town ( https://earlybirds-studio.fr/#/ ) but I strongly doubt it is a clue.
I think the clue are: communist, vaguely French, military (Fort=stronghold in French), with magic (Maggy sound like the French pronunciation of magic)
