Building on up in Block'hood, my early thoughts on this cute neighbourhood-building sim
17 January 2017 at 3:47 am UTC

As someone with two monitors myself, what do you mean by the "wrong" one? Do you mean the secondary one? Just curious.

(In my case it doesn't really matter because my monitors are identical and I play games interchangeably on both, but I can see it being an issue if your secondary one is smaller or something.)

Ooh, please tell me this has co-operative multi-player! This looks like it'd be fun to play with a friend.

Hey, I found myself! Neat. I keep meaning to try out this whole "livestreaming" thing sometime, maybe I should get around to actually doing it soon.

Some thoughts on Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, the real-time tactics game

I saw this in my Steam discovery queue and was intrigued enough to put it on my wishlist. Thanks for pointing out the fact that it has a demo, as I didn't notice that before. I'm going to download it and give it a shot!

Quoting: liamdaweThe current graph lib is rather limited in what it can do, which is one of the many reasons I am moving to a fancy JS lib called "chart.js".
Gotcha, thanks. The new charts look pretty cool! One tiny suggestion would be maybe to make the connecting lines ever-so-slightly thicker? Some of the colors are pretty light, and combined with thin lines they're a little hard to make out.

Long War 2 mod announced for XCOM 2

Man, I need to get back into this game. I bought the season pass and enjoyed my first two playthroughs, but somehow lost interest and haven't yet played with the second and third DLCs active. I keep meaning to play through again, maybe now's the time!

Quoting: liamdaweThose two graphs are quite different. All graphs show a max of 10 items.
I'm just wondering if that's intentional, or a limitation of whatever code you're using to generate them.

Quoting: liamdaweAll graphs allow you to view the full statistics of each in the dropdown below them.
Thanks, I didn't know that.

Huh! My desktop resolution (1920×1200) is actually the second-most common. I totally would not have guessed that. (Though I kinda regret going for it now, as it makes it troublesome to record full-screen videos for YouTube.)

Also, are the graphs truncating things to show only ten options? In the first graph of Linux Distributions (Combined) things like SteamOS and Slackware show up, but are absent from the Linux Distributions (Split) graph. I can see this being a stylistic choice (for instance if there are several dozen distributions with only a few users each), I'm just curious if it's intentional.

Parkitect, the indie theme park building sim updated again, working towards big performance improvements

Always nice to see a game I helped Kickstart working out well! I didn't get their usual monthly newsletter so this is the first I've heard of the update.

What game are you truly thankful to have on Linux & SteamOS?

Quoting: RedjeEuropa Universalis IV is my number 1 for Linux! :)
I was just going to say the same thing. :)

The other big one would be Minecraft, which is probably my most-played game of all time due to playing with a friend.
