    Happy New Year!

    Unfortunately I've been working on smaller projects and hobbies instead. Been playing Guitar, testing games, playing with my daughters and playing drums. No need to crowd fund because I normally don't spend a lot of money. Just need some paint and supplies. Thats it.

    Use JPGs instead of PNGs in guides

    Its because I'm using 1680x1050 PNG Screenshots. All the rest of the screens are normally under 100KB How about I use JPG for the screenshots? The reason I stick with PNG is because my PrintScreen functionality automatically does PNG. So it saves time to leave them as PNG. converting all of...

    STALKER: Clear Sky Guide

    Awesome! I have a feeling it Clear Sky will work with any wine version newer than 1.6.2. I only test with it because its "stable" Once Stable 1.8 comes out I'll test with it.

    AppDB Comments Deleted?

    Yes, the email notification posts reasons and the Test regected posts reasons as well. Most of the time my deleted comment reasons are: Or something related to version not supported. But as I've mentioned previously, this is the same as deleting archives that could be helpful. Who has the...

    Grim Dawn is very impressive for an indie development team. The game progresses just right... not too fast not too slow. They have all the Action RPG elements that make it a LOT of fun! A lot of detail is presented to your character and character development. So you can micro-manage your...

    GOG Implementing DRM?

    I just installed Assassin's Creed from GOG. Its version 2.1.0.23 and I verified the .BIN files DO have a password. Not sure what this means, but the game runs fine

    Happy New Year!

    Playing a game on my list of 30 games. I have been wanting to do a project of some sort. Not sure what it will be but I was thinking of modding a huge case I've been saving for 5 years. Its a big beige case with an interesting curve to it. Not sure if I have the time and the money to invest...

    GOG Implementing DRM?

    This whole post from GOG staff pretty much sums it up: Translation: Instead of creating a single download for our games, we are taking the quicker route for our testers and use a password on all RAR files so we can avoid support tickets for people who can't install the game by opening RAR...

    GOG Implementing DRM?

    After reading from all three sites, people against RAR password make some really good points. Its protecting Pirates from getting malware and restricting anyone who wants the game files for using in an alternate engine DOSBox, ScummV, etc I'm not sure how GOG developers came to this conclusion...

    GOG Implementing DRM?

    There are some very controversial posts on GOG forum, Reddit Linux Gamers and GamingOnLinux about GOG's new password protection for their RAR data containers. Is this DRM? Does it break Wine & PlayOnLinux? Who is it really protecting?

    Steam client security lock

    Hmm, then maybe its only set per-Steam installation Like you said, its off by default, but there are times when I have logged into a new computer for the first time and Steam requires a verification code that is emailed to me.

    Steam client security lock

    Ah, thats it! Thanks Daerandin, I have Steam Guard disabled so I never get these verifications unless I log into a new computer

    Steam client security lock

    That is strange... I test games all the time in Steam with PlayOnLinux Maybe that setting Daerandin is talking about works across-the-board on all Steam installations. I have 6 gaming computers all with Steam installed. Then I test games in PlayOnLinux with Steam and use the LinSteam as well...

    Crowdfunding for Half-Life 3 harassment?

    I ended up backing games that were indie-made because the game looked cool and I wanted to support them. They really needed the money in order to make such a game, but I only donate enough to get a digital copy. So there isn't much loss if the game doesn't live up to the standard.

    Crowdfunding for Half-Life 3 harassment?

    I have crowdfunded 3 projects on Kickstarter and bought two in-progress beta games. So far the Kickstarter projects have been less than desirable. Two of them I haven't heard any updates and the third is a great game, but obviously will never read AAA status. The two games I pre-purchased the...
