Re: Have You Upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04? [Poll]

I was thinking of waiting for the next mint release and trying out that honestly.

So, what happends when you want to switch from ubuntu? You can make the same argument for Desura but at least I have some freedom.

BTW, I don't really give a shit what devs feel is easy to do. Making software entirely cross platform isn't exactly easy. Then again making software for only one platform isn't going to help linux because we are on the bottom of the food chain. So, linux only is probably not going to happen to often (yes there is that one game). This means that arguing how many platforms to support really isn't even a point.

Did you read my post? Im saying to use one linux service over another linux service FOR PURCHASING GAMES. Although, I do use desura on windows from time to time.

"Desura is not Ubuntu only" YAH that's exactly why you should use it over the UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER which is more limited in availability then Desura.

BTW I totally agree Desura shouldn't be installed via .deb. I didn't install via .deb, and no game should every be a .deb, mainly because it puts game data in a location I don't want it.

Don't use the ubuntu software center over desura if for no other reason then portability. I don't buy software for only Ubuntu.

Re: Elementary OS ‘Jupiter’ released, reviewed

Well, I can under stand that. I too have remade a application that probably could have been edited (pyRenamer). Plus, some applications desperately needed to be remade like Nautilus. It would be nice though if we had a bigger abstraction between front and back ends.

Is it just me or do you guys really wish the elementary team would make existing applications better looking then remaking an entire app to have a cleaner ui.

While I still think a linux only game is a step backwards, I still would love a really good RPG for linux.

No gamer will EVER switch to Linux for one game. Linux is already a strong alternative to Windows; the humble indie bundled showed that.

Personally, I don't think playing the exclusivity card is what Linux is all about. Linux is not a snooty night club for douche bags. We might as well install Windows if we are going to use the same tactics we hate against them. This even screws over our Mac cousins. They deserve games too.

Exclusive as in the only one on linux or Exclusive as in ONLY on linux? The 2nd would be stupid and counter productive to linux. I ask because the wording makes it sound like the 2nd.

Thats really cool. I would make the dark overlay a bit more translucent though.

Re: Which game should get multitouch support first?

Yes, unfortunately you still do have to pay for the art assets (AKA the game).

The sound for wind rushing against you seemed a bit loud. The fastest speed seemed right but the slow walking/running was really loud.

Re: SIMD optimization - Wolfire Games Blog

Being that low percentage (linux market share), I dont feel that it is fair to that minuscule percentage of people. Also if we are doing this is C/C++, we can cheat a little and use preprocessor directives to eliminate the all the overhead. I'm pretty sure we could also use a inline static functions. To me, this is like writing a CUDA program. They are freaking amazing, but you have to have some way for the other percentage of users to use your program as well. (they added x86 support WOoooo) Then again, the compiler could already be inserting code for when SSE is not there IDK. I'v always assumed it didn't.

Re: SIMD optimization - Wolfire Games Blog

This is such a pain in the ass though. To retain your sanity, you basically make a abstract class with all the instructions you want. Then, implement both the SIMD and normal instruction classes. (NOTE Im paranoid that SOMEONE wont have a simd enabled processor) FINALLY, make a factory to decide which class to use. This is cool, but when the compiler optimizes it into your code its fucking fantastic.

Anyone else think we should add a new button (or make the close button different .. like a circle or something) for applications that only hide when closed?

I still wish they would just suck it up and make an OOP wrapper so that all the people complaining about that would shut up.
