To Netflix?

No - newer system, much smaller than the old. We also have Netflix.

Netflix with a local cache.

Just bought two more games in this week's Steam sale. LOL. That's 803 just from Steam now.

I got some free ones because I'm cheap. I did pay for Besiege though. All of them running on my Fedora 23 laptop, theywork pretty well

scottalanmiller

Besiege looks cool, how is it?

It's not bad. I think I'll get tired of it after a while though. But it's fun to build the stuff and see what other people have built. I really wanted SimplePlanes, but it won't run on Linux.

I really want SubNautica too, but it's $20 and won't run on Linux.

scottalanmiller

I'm surprised that many new games won't run on Linux. Who makes Windows-only games in this day and age?

The same people that have made Windows only games for the last decade. Your perceptions of the rest of things are as off as always.

Subnautica is built on the Unity engine, so it's essentially just recompiling. Supposedly they said they are going to release one when it's completely done.

I use Windows because I play a lot of really old games from before Linux was a viable gaming platform.

Yeah, Unity supports Linux. It's just laziness it would seem if Subnautica isn't available on it. that's the whole point of Unity!

What time is it where you are at?

Just finished a session of Elite Dangerous. I don't have the latest expansion pack yet, going to have to make a decision on weather paying for a lifetime is worth it, or just shell out for Horizons?

Been talking to a business in town about sorting out their IT and what needs to be done.

Probably need to get a business number so they can pay me.

Thanks, but that would introduce unnecessary complexities.
What's a 1099?

That would have been around 4am. I am eight hours ahead of Texas.
