I was glad to hear Venn’s complaint about not knowing what keybindings would make sense before being able to play the game. Although strange, I like my keybindings that I guessed at and then modified as I was playing:
I recommend setting up the 2nd page first so you can use your controller to navigate the menus.
Maybe I didn’t execute well. What I was trying to do is show Matt attempting dark magic the first time and lighting himself up, to the delight of the evil anti-santa up top who began inhaling the Matt’s essence. This is all my original artwork.Those numbers are a lot closer than I expected. I guess your point is to show there’s really no reason to use a “light” desktop because you actually get better performance with a full-featured one. I wish you would test the most recent developer version of Xfce though. I don’t know about Fedora, but you can get Xfce 4.11 easily on Manjaro, and not so hard on Arch either. Here are the Xfce developer Arch packages I use (now available in the archlinux-cn repo if you don’t want to build the packages from AUR):
garcon-devel
libxfce4util-devel
libxfce4ui-devel
xfce4-dev-tools-devel
xfdesktop-devel
xfce4-settings-devel
xfce4-appfinder-devel
xfce4-panel-devel
xfce4-session-devel
xfce4-mixer-devel
xfwm4-titleless-dev (replaces xfwm4-devel)
xfce4-windowck-pluginI never heard of CDE. Google showed me this: http://pgbovine.net/cde.html which is CDE: Automatically create portable Linux applications. Somehow, I don’t think that’s what Venn started with.
I know what twn is, but I’m guessing that’s a joke.
So, what you’re all telling me is that transparency on Whiskermenu isn’t something you’d have the developer worry about.
Great game and since the alpha ship doesn’t know how to die or run out of fuel, I was able to play long enough to get the hang of the controls and chase down a bunch of enemy ships. Love the way the music changes to match what I’m doing.
Although it was very smooth on my Intel HD Graphics 4000, that’s because it was at 480p or something and the options dialogues had no visible text so that I couldn’t change the resolution. I’ve entered a bug report http://www.wingsofstnazaire.com/forum/v … pid=68#p68 so if anyone else has this problem, please post it there.
OK – So even though it completes the download to ~/.local/… it ends up doing the install to ~/.wine… meaning it makes no difference where the installation files are downloaded. And, I would still have to launch Steam under WINE to play it. Once installed, there’s no difference between your method and what would’ve happened had you allowed Steam under WINE to finish the download.
LGC may want to correct that on their next show because they clearly thought and said that Steam for Linux would try to launch the application using WINE so that simply side-stepping the block on downloading Windows games basically removed all restrictions. But that’s not what happens at all. As you’ve pointed out and was also pointed out by LGC, the main benefit is to be able to run other online games in Steam for Linux while the Windows game finishes downloading.
I have not developed the confidence with any multiplayer games to be interested in actually playing them online yet, and also have plenty of games to spend my time learning, so that the problem you are solving doesn’t exist for me.
I had hoped that even if the game didn’t play under Steam for Linux, it would at least be installed to the correct location for Steam for Linux so that some tweaking could make it run. But I see that’s not the case and there’s no difference between downloading your way or the usual way under WINE.
I missed the start of the live LGC Saturday night so didn’t hear about this Very Interesting thread until today when I watched the beginning of LGC on youtube.
I’m still a little confused though, rat. What did you mean when you wrote “When it finished downloading, it gave me the WINE version of the game?”. How do you run the game? Venn said Steam for Linux will automagically try to run it under WINE – I think based on that sentence of yours I quoted. But then you later seem to indicate you can’t actually do that because in answer to EvilPenguin’s question “The game launches the WINE version from the Linux client??” rather than just saying “Yes” (or “No”) you give a confusing answer that includes “Still says not avaliable on the platform”. But, did it say that when you were trying to download it or when trying to launch it? If it says that when trying to launch the game after downloading with Steam for Linux, then how do you actually launch the game “in wine manually”. Do you have to launch Steam under Wine? Do you have to copy the files back to Steam under Wine first? Are you saying you can actually launch the game outside of Steam?
Please clarify. Also, yes, I would like the detailed steps posted in this thread.
Thanks in advance.
I never liked Babylon 5 and only watched it out of boredom on occasion. As far as romantic comedy, all I remember is the big ears being erogenous and women shouldn’t wear clothes. All pretty lamely written in my opinion.
Enterprise should have been much better than it was. They pulled so far back on the budget and writing that it was disappointing after Star Trek Voyager, which I personally thought was the best of all of them. I would have expected with Bakula in constant romance throughout the much better Quantum Leap series that I would remember some sort of romance in Enterprise, but I really don’t. I think I remember something about the Dr and his various wives. The Dr was one of the better characters.
Overall, I can’t actually remember the plot of a single episode from either of these series. So, I can’t decide which was the better Romantic Comedy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&featu … pRROs8oerUSore_Loser is convincing. I don’t know anything about Black Sabbath, had never heard of Dio, and didn’t know Ozzy was in Black Sabbath. That video “Behind the wall of sleep” that Sore_Loser linked to though is much better than anything I can find on youtube that Dio sang. I even like it better than my favorite vocalist, Danny Elfman, which I linked to above. Elfman is a better singer and composer, but I really like the simple sound of “Behind the wall of sleep”.
I bet you never heard this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM3ikhjCE_g
Ok. I guess google drive isn’t the way. Signed up for imgur.com since I see that’s what the previous poster used.
I can’t get the whole “click to enlarge” thing to work. So, here’s the direct link to the image on imgur.com:
