Support NeoGAF

[HoosTrax]

And I still cannot connect to the Internet with Linux. Damned.

I will try to find an Ethernet cable tomorrow.

The support for older hardware definitely seems to be a bit more complete. My Linux machine is a Core 2 Duo (Conroe I think, not Wolfdale), with a 9600 GSO, and some old Linksys PCI wireless card, and none of it needed drivers that weren't already in the kernel.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I hope someone posts a Steam for Linux thread equivalent to Dovella's meltdown about Steam for OSX being advertised on the front page.

Ruse for $2.50? Eh, why not?

The funny thing was, I had been waiting forever for a 75% sale, and it went on 75% for $5 and I finally got it like a few weeks ago. I didn't realize the price further went down since then.

That's okay, since it means I could maybe gift it to some more people now. I wanted it to play some human vs AI co-op battles, but I'm currently really bad at figuring out what's going on. It's kind of neat.

 

[Wok]

I knew they would celebrate the 100th game on Steam Linux.

Wow...

Putting TF2 on overnight download on my Ubuntu box.

It is so cute!

 

[Madrugador]

I'm installing Linux this weekend. I'm going to be realistic here, my computer will be destroyed in the process.

Hate it when this happens.
I bought this game solely because I thought it looked neat at a trade show before it was released and it's been sitting on my wishlist since forever. I wonder if I'll ever play it.

Offline messaging: You can now send messages to users who are offline. They will receive the message when they next log in

Dear Lord..

edit: doesn't work for me. Don't see any option to send messages to offline users. Maybe they need to have updated

 

[GoddyofAus]

Crisis at Valve? Pffff, fucking Linux hat man.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I've launched TF2 twice and no hat.

It'll be added in tonights update.

 

[Mavromatis]

I remember people talking about nobody would install Linux when Steam supported it, not even for Half Life 3. Now people are installing it for a hat.
Bow to your master GabeN now, because he obviously owns the lot now.

 

[drizzle]

It'll be added in tonights update.

I wonder if I really do have to play it again then.

I played two full rounds last week on Linux. Maybe i'll get the hat without playing.

Will wait for the update.

 

[JaseC]

Bought everything I wanted, as well as the RUSE strategy guide (it's always nice to see the individual Prima guides go on sale alongside the game itself as they're self-published and therefore typically excluded). I'll probably get around to installing Linux and getting my virtual hands on Tux later today.

[Relax.MX]

The last month i played a lot, but alot of World of Warcraft(for the first time) i got a key for the battle chest, and is a bad game, but man is a fuckin drug...I did not want to keep paying so I started to play Dota 2, and...is the same thing! its like a drug, but a good drug, every match feels so different and i learn something new

 

[Wok]

This is exactly the reason why SpyParty will be GOTY when it will be officially released in 2017.

It that you, Chris?

No.

Double click on the user's listing in the Friend's List. The window should come up. Also, did you check for latest Steam update?

And thanks MRORANGE for the handy installation guide

Can I run Team Fortress 2 on Linux off an USB stick?

Chris Hecker really needs to release this soon so I can actually get my hands on it.

Yea I did. Thanks.

I was trying to right click and click 'Send Message'.

[MRORANGE]

if you have a 32gb USB stick then yes in theory, although it's going to be very slow, I've not seen anyone in this thread pull it off yet.

 

[Hanzou]

Thinking about getting:
Dwarfs!? (thoughts on this?)

Bought so far:
Book of Unwritten Tales
The Journey Down
Lume

Its a very cook game.you can set the time limit so its great for playing a quick ten minute game every now and then.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

My friends recently bought list is just all JaseC. Thanks for making me feel better about my backlog buddy!

 

[Salsa]

step 1: punch keyboard on Steam search bar

step 2: click first result

step 3: see if JaseC has it

New to Steam so I own none of the games in the Linux sale. Have my eye on these, any other recommendations?

Revenge of the Titans
Dungeons of Dredmor
Droid Assault
FTL: Faster Than Light
Frozen Synapse

 

[Twinduct]

But a game of dwarfs has taught me to be very careful.

 

[Salsa]

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally wabt ti buy impire.

what is going on

 

[Twinduct]

what is going on

Oh shit. Sorry. Meant I really want to buy Impire

 

[ttocs]

Has anyone picked up Impire yet? It looks interesting, but 20 bucks is a little steep for a strictly impulse buy.

Damn you Salsa!

These are games I would recommend, although they cannot please everyone.

• Revenge of the Titans
• FTL: Faster Than Light
• Frozen Synapse

Why did Steam just auto download an update for me using some new kind of update system and not tell me what it was? It also has a new description under the process list. Steam client bootstrapper and then a bunch of stuff after it.

Ditto.

For a limited time, Steam users who play the game on Linux will automatically receive a free, exclusive in-game item: Tux, the Linux mascot, can be carried by any of the game’s classes and traded between players.

Can Steam be installed on Fedora?

probably this stuff?

 

[Wok]

probably this stuff?

- Suspend all downloads automatically when a game is launched
- Removed "/me" chat command, which allowed some users to modify the color of their chat text
- Fixed crash on startup caused by corrupt ClientRegistry.blob file

I don't want this update.

 

[DirtRiver]

So guys...should I buy R.U.S.E? Is it worth it or should I just wait for Wargames to drop in price because it is just so much better?

 

[HoosTrax]

Tux is a limited 2-week promo item it looks like.

 

[Derrick01]

probably this stuff?

Ah glad to see they fixed the crashing for video streaming bug. I've had moments where I'd look up a game on the store and when it plays the trailer it'd auto close Steam. I had to turn off auto play videos because of that.

Still I wish it would have told me what the update was before automatically doing it. I don't like that change at all.

 

[Dr Stabbingworth]

It's too bad Treasure Adventure Game isn't on Steam. It would have been top dog in the Metroid-like fight.

Unwritten Tales for 5? Yeah, mine.

Treasure Adventure World. Believe.

 

[BigBoss]

Dead Island GOTY edition is only $6.78 on gamersgate, is there anything wrong with the PC version that I should know about before buying?

It's pretty much a lock for a Steam release, but I'm not down with the look

The PC version is the version I played and it was fine. Initially there were some issues when it first game out (I think day 1) but not now.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Might be tempted on Dynamite Jack for 1.24. Thought the demo was fun enough.
