  1. Re:Theres games on linux? on Linux Game Publishing CEO Resigns · · Score: 1

    I find that with most people it's pointless to argue this with facts. They fell better with 120fps, and by god, that's what their sticking with facts be damned. Definitely don't try to talk them into using vsync. That limits the fps to the refresh rate, and get's rid of horizontal screen tearing. Without that screen tearing, how do you know you're driving a Ferrari of the PC world? ;)

    Very nice. Kinda hard to argue there is no market when you look at the performance of those bundles.

    If you won't even accept the most non-intrusive form of DRM (cd-keys) then you should basically forget about ever having big budget games on Linux.

  4. Re:Company site on Linux Game Publishing CEO Resigns · · Score: 1

    No one said starting a game distribution company was easy. I'm speaking from the standpoint of the consumer. There is nothing on that list they have, that I would buy. However many indie devs have been creating a lot of good games for Linux the past few years. Someone who was on top of things, probably could have worked out a few good deals here lately, and came out on top for everyone involved. Instead the Indie Bundle guys took matters in to their own hands.

    That's wasn't true in my case. It ran worse, and hardware acceleration on the mouse was totally broken.

    It also helps to have products. Look at their list of games... The Indie Bundles have proven there is a market.

    A good start would be to actually have a game from the past 10 years in their catalog...

    For a computer genius I'd think you would have figured out that you can set up the OS to update how you like, and not have it intrude on what you're doing.

  12. Total bullshit. on Anger With Game Content Lock Spurs Reaction From Studio Head Curt Shilling · · Score: 1

    Every other product you buy, you can resell. This is as old a concept as trade. What is it about video games, or game developers, that makes them special and out of bounds for resell? Nothing. They're just greedy fucks.

  13. Dinosaurs. on Copyright Industry Calls For Broad Search Engine Controls · · Score: 3

    They have failed to adapt for 10 years now, and their solution is just web censorship. Fuck the MPAA and their ilk.

    So you're a one issue voter. You people really don't matter much in the big scheme of things, to either party. They will simply use your focus on one issue to get their way, and then ignore you, as you found out.

    Now, just to be clear on this: When Dick Cheney said that, they had already ballooned the deficit by trillions of dollars. He wasn't talking about "small deficits".

    Good for you, luckily for me i don't have to follow what you do. I'll stick to what the experts in climatology are saying. You're free to believe whatever crackpot nonsense you wish.

    Someone did some research down thread about these "scientists", and yeah I'm definitely sticking with the expert in the field. Being a scientist in an unrelated field, doesn't make you an expert on every single scientific topic. For instance, when it comes to particle physics; Do you trust the experts in the field, or what a climatologist has to say about it?
