To Netflix?

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

Netflix with a local cache.

Still awake here. Dominica is still playing video games.

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

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.

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!
