I tend to play "other than" AAA titles. Even stuff I get "working" tends to be buggy and I have to kill the processes manually quite often, not to mention all of the X-server restarts and resized I have to do when things head south. I just don't have that many hours to fine tune everything to make it reasonably stable.

Yeah, the NFL is full of them.

Replied to like a real Apple specific programmer.

Windows 2000 ticked me off for one buggy little thing when it was still new, even though to this day I consider it the best overall design/interface of any Windows desktop, though 8.1 is getting close. That was my last version of WIndows at home.

I went hard-core about games during that era, I loved Blizzard games but they ticked me off when they started suing everyone, even people I knew personally. Between that and the bug I quit dual booting and decided if they didn't make it work on Linux I wasn't going to worry about sending any money their direction, and I pretty much stuck with it. I bought UT III because they promised compatability - I was suckered.

All of that being said now that Steam supports game strreaming I'm seriously considering setting up a Wintendo dedicated to being the "host bot". (The Humble Bundles have given me many Windows-only games after all in addition to the Linux compatible ones) . I haven't experimented with it yet, but it certainly has potential. I'm not sure what I'll need hardware wise but I'm gussing maxing at 1080 on the Wintendo would keep the hardware reasonable and 1Gbps fast enough network wise.

But then I wouldn't be welcome on Slashdot.

First of all - no ZOOOMMM!!! I totally see that's a smart-assed comment.

I want to address it anyways.

I have 0 versions of Minecraft, and I'm not running the OSS knock-off version.

The Unreal and Quake engines rock on Linux, and I guess the Half-Life engine is it's own? Portal is awesome on it also.

Does Minecraft work on Linux? I refuse to check, just don't care enough. I love pissing off Minecraft fans by saying "When I was a kid I had an Atari 2600, it looked like crap but it was awesome because it was all that we had. Then came the 8 bit Nintendo, the Super Nintendo, the 64, then you got realistic 3D with the Unreal engine and it just keeps getting better, then YOUR generation declared "Good stuff sucks!". They went back to Atari looking graphics programmed the with sloppy code forcing high-end multi-core high-RAM hardware to run shit 8-bit graphics!"

I've just about started fist-fights with that observations.

I don't even consider WINE an option. That's way too much work for crappy results. I would rather not waste hardware on Windows.

I have a significant share of that 1,000 games.

I'm very disappointed when I see a Windows only game, but I can understand why the big developers do it.

I'm even MORE disappointed when I see a game that works with Windows and Mac but not Linux. Once it works with Mac or Linux making it work with the other is trivial. Don't give me the coca garbage - if it runs at full-screen you really don't have to mess with that a lot.

The indie guys are really leading the charge, and based on very visible results with the Humble Bundle "Triple Compatibility" seems to up the success of the bundle, and I heavily suspect it's why they tend to make the one or two Linux compatible games in a heavily Microsoft centric bundle the "Pay at least $10 to get" game.

They make great hardware, but getting rid of Nitro PDF is particularly annoying, it UAC's more than once, plus Sugar Sync, which even having on our systems violates a client agreement. Crapware needs to die, and die now. I do my best to work from a factory image, hardware seems to be so much easier to deal with that way, but Lenovo makes it quite an annoyance.

Not every method of buying honey includes a lot of labels.

when she was only about six months old.

She loved it, I had never heard you weren't supposed to give it to babies, and now that she's 12 she still likes it. I can can get on-board with this theory.

Of course that's been counted by the fact they won't let you pull the friggin battery anymore.

These enforceable, bright-line rules will ban paid prioritization, and the blocking and throttling of lawful content and services.

With that wording in place it opens the door to define the legality of content and regulate accordingly.

and the result was unexpected Twins.

Using Ubuntu and Android do cause that to happen.
