Yeah, so life has managed to delay our December Update until February. Things happen. The only change to what's in it is that I wrote up a simple plugin to syndicate content to Twitter, which is very much preferable to our current situation since we're pushing stories from a hacky little script on my desktop at the moment and I'd like to be able to boot Windows 7 for some vidya once in a while.

Downtime should be five minutes or less starting around 2:00AM UTC (an hour and forty minutes from now).

    As of right now, I own 157 video games on GOG.com. Out of those 157, 49 support Linux. That's less than one-third. Don't get me wrong, that's much better than the Linux video gaming situation was six years ago. But Linux still has a long way to go to be a viable gaming platform.

    ...Linux still has a long way to go

    To be a viable platform for any segment of the market, app developers have to get on board with Linux ports of their stuff.
    It's a chicken-and-egg thing.

    ...and for app developers' interest to catch fire, USERS have to let them know they're interested.
    Have -you- let the software providers know that you want Linux ports of things you have used|tried?

    I hope it gets there. It's not just Linux, though - I know a Mac die-hard who only has a Windows system to game. He hates Windows.
