Not really, but seriously. It's 20+ degrees Celsius and these guys are just running around in scarfs with some Starbucks coffee cups and MacBooks. I don't get it.

I was thinking about launching an old Linux port of a game on a modern OS, but then dependencies killed me. :c

Afr0, I'd say people in general. Sure, gamers already complain if one, very old game, won't run on a modern OS - but I wouldn't be surprised if I've seen someone using Word 95 on Windows 10. Oh, wait, Gabe already tried that.

Everytime someone thinks about linking libs dynamically (which is why Linux feels more awesome than Windows) instead of statically, binary becomes useless after a few updates because "LOL THEY COULD JUST RECOMPILE EVERYTHING ITS LINUX WHO CARES".

Sure, Steam makes it easier since you as a dev are targetting steam, not current OS, but still.
 
not on topic!!! You should probably make a topic for this, with the title "Uncontrollable and Inexplicable Rage" and a message body comprising of as many random keys as you can press in 5 seconds, all caps.

Either way, you go cool off or whatever, and all future posts in this thread should be relating to an open source windows only!

Sorry. Should the previous few messages be moved though too into a new topic or not? Future posts will be on-topic from now on.
