Ah, thanks! Shows how much attention I pay to badges, even though the top one claims I am a "Gaming God".

Quoting: ageresDoes anyone remember TF2 Tux hat?

I think I only ran TF2 long enough to get that in my inventory...

Quoting: WindousicoIt is no coincidence that I joined Steam 5 years ago.

Where do you find that? I couldn't find it in my profile...

The Kickstarter went up without any mention of platform support, so I complained/asked, and they responded...

Quoting: Playa GamesPC, Mac and Linux will be our start.

Quoting: meOh, so it will run on OS/2, Haiku, AmigaOS, etc? Or maybe you meant to say Windows, macOS, and Linux. :-)

Quoting: Playa GamesThere may or may be secret plans to bring it on Casio Graph 35+ and Virtual Boy, but pssst!
And yes, that was what I meant initially!

At least they have a sense of humor, even if they don't actually correct their improper usage. :)

Quoting: GuestGOG doesn't have a lot at the moment. Still maybe worth mentioning is Torchlight II at 75% discount.

If you own either of the Torchlight games on Steam, you can currently get them free on GOG:

Got the release announcement from Steam, and then wondered why it was on my wish list. Now I understand, and have removed it from my wish list until they do a proper release.

Open source gamepad config tool 'SC Controller' has a pre-release to support more gamepads

Quoting: kozecIt's interesting thing to find one's own application in RSS feed :)

Many thanks for your efforts! I do have one small suggestion, unrelated to the actual application. Your Fedora repo files have the version hard-coded in them, which means the one I downloaded for Fedora 24 quit working. Instead of replacing it with a new one (which I notice are separate, hard-coded for specific versions), I just changed the '24' in both places to $releasever

My respect for Patreon went up, while my respect for the developers of Persona went down. I'd heard they were good games, but I'm certainly less likely to buy any now.

Quoting: qptain Nemoif they wanted to go down this road they definitely wouldn't have open sourced .net and made it available for Linux (at least indirectly through open sourcing, I don't remember if they put any effort into compatibility themselves).

They did; they also bought Xamarin, the company behind Mono.
