The next generation should have consoles that only play games with a minor menu similar to the GameCube. Of course, this isn't going to happen, but it would be nice.

What website host do you guys like to use?

Lithium Hosting. Always heard good reviews of them along with Namecheap.

Lithium Hosting for hosting, Namecheap for the domain. Got a .ME domain for under ten bucks from a sale.

Finally got around for a termination request of my Steam account.

...use only open source libs...

You're pushing it, Stallman. But that's not a bad idea. Fits the theme.

Symmetry button? Since when did MyPaint have a symmetry button?

At least since 1.1.

That explains, I'm still on 1.0.0.

Takes five minutes to get a web browser up

I'm pretty sure something's wrong with your computer, mang.

It's a give-or-take time from starting the OS up to getting to that point. And switching tabs will occasionally stop responding. Fresh install, too.

How many tabs have you got?  I can easily see a million gazillion tabs lagging Windows right after it's started up, especially if you're low on RAM and not running off a SSD.

Usually five, ten when I'm doing homework with resources loaded up. It still shouldn't take that long.

I envy you, surt.

No need. All you do need is MyPaint, symmetry button, a silhouette, Deevad's "basic digital brush smudging" (Set#2, stylus with yellow-orange stroke), and DawnBringer's 32 colour palette. Then you too can doodle with equal mediocrity.

On a different note, one could easily find a palette by selecting the anti-alias colors of text. Great for some people like me that suck rainbows at colors.

Finally booted Windows one last time. Now I see why I left it. How freezing slow it is. Takes five minutes to get a web browser up and going to all my tabs where otherwise it would have been a few seconds. Remind me to never use it again. Plus the text is ugly.

apparently it's cuz that's how they did it in the ks, and they don't want people to bitch about how much they paid for it back then

"in the ks" What does that mean (sorry)

"In the Kickstarter." As in, "She kicked me right in the Kickstarter."

Use an external host like Imgur. It's been broken for a long time.

Yeah, I was pretty much going to rule out everything but Wine (that would ruin the point of the jam anyway ...) I'm not sure about browser games yet, but I'll probably still allow them, again, provided they run native on Linux.

It's generally accepted that the web browser is a separate platform as they are intended as data and information transfer and display. Plus I wouldn't exactly call a web browser "ready" until hardware acceleration is a given with JavaScript. Leaving browser games allowed would practically limit the types of submissions to Java and browser games while allowing more people to enter from the broader perspective.

So what exactly would certain rules be? Run "native" on Linux (ruling out browser games)?

You'd be surprised how many people actually use some form of Linux. I'm totally up for it thanks to finally being bored of playing what little games I have. Why not have it last for a month on a monthly basis if you decide the first one works? In my opinion, one of the reasons that Linux gaming is behind besides the top indie games are these cheesy clones with sprites that look like it could have taken three minutes in The GIMP. And then their developers try to pass it off as "retro."

Better make that 100% game development, broski

I've been saying that since 2010. Now look at how many games I made.

[NOT]

Clearly you never had Chick-Fil-A fries. Or their chicken sandwiches. Can't compete with that. You just can't. It's like angels were manning the pressure fryers, weeping sweet tears of peanut oil.

You mean this stuff? I can imagine how creepy it might be.

You did NOT just insult the Waffle Fry.

They look just like they do in the picture and are filled with potato. No empty crisps or artificial things.

Holy moly! I'm glad I don't eat fast food anymore. These fries are either so crisp and hollow that there's nothing left to rot or they never were fries at all.

If you're going to keep bumping this, let me rip a mean one.
