Quoting: DuncThe sole global arbiter of all things Build Engine gave it a thumbs up, so it must be pretty good.
Clint is great and all, but he is not Civvie 11.

Like so many things, it makes me sad that the Humble Bundles did not continue trying to promote free source code releases after the first Humble Indie Bundle.

Good on Data Realms for making the move on their own though.

Quoting: ElectricPrismMaybe they should have renamed it some snarky alternative like Metal Maiden or some other cheesy but effective name.

Ion Lady?

10 years ago GamingOnLinux was created, what a ride it's been

Quoting: wvstolzingSo far LGR has shown absolutely no interest in (or knowledge of) the unix & free software side of things.
He is not a big Linux guy, but it has come up in some of his videos in the past (he has even recommended WINE as a solution for playing old Windows games) and I know for a fact he has a few Loki Software boxes in his collection. Being more of a retro gaming and tech channel, it is not going to come up as much.

It is more the serendipity of the timing I found amusing.

Interestingly it is also the tenth anniversary of LGR starting today as well:

Quoting: liamdaweWho can forget all of the wonderful contributors? Many came and went over the years to help out for fun, thanks to all and especially those of you who’ve stuck around.
Looking back I have somehow managed to write at least one article per year since 2012. I am surprised.

Guess I need something for 2019 yeah?

Happy birthday GoL! And congratulations to Liam for 15864 articles and counting.

Canonical are now saying Ubuntu's 32bit is not being entirely dropped, 32bit libraries will be "frozen"

The Seven Stages of Grief come to mind. Canonical seems to have reached denial.

Just like with Mir and Unity all over again.

Just in case anyone can find any value in it, here is my custom Arch install guide:

Tailored specifically for my use case of course. Still, it could give someone a rough idea. You should gain a proper understanding of what you are doing from the Arch Wiki as well of course.

Nightdive Studio's latest revamp with Blood: Fresh Supply is coming to Linux

Quoting: rea987I know it's too much to ask but wouldn't a spreadsheet that compares features of those source ports and engine reimplementations as well as the original a good idea?
Sure, it would not be a bad idea, but considering Fresh Supply and NBlood only came out within the last few months, and BloodGDX is still in active development, things are still changing rapidly at the moment.
