Now to answer the other half of your question

In respect to Valve's use of Linux for the SteamBox...this is an attempt to MAKE a platform for Linux gaming. Valve has the best DRM'd game distribution system out there. (I would say that the Debian Package Management System is the best non-DRM'd game distribution system out there, but that's my op...

Re: So this is new (Steam Controller)

Even more important how many software companies are willing switch over to it? Its this little tiny fear of ...

Re: Turntable FPS drop

Be sure to turn off OpenGL as well. I've no idea why Mojang included that option. Everyone on the MCF threads have reported better performance with it off other then rare cases Advanced OpenGL is occlusion culling.

Just host it yourself.

My server was run on a computer I built from scratch, on my home internet connection.

I turned it off when I played Doom, because it was too much - I didn't get sick, but it basically disabled my already really shitty internal navigation for some reason. I like the view bob in real life. I hate it in games.

Re: No fear of heights

A lot of minecraft building is based on the fact that you can lean over an edge to place a block on the side of it. This would make that absolutely impossible, especially with the at-times clunky movement of minecraft, especially if any sort of latency is involved between server and client. Deaths ...

I made a 'suicide run' into a fortress. I had a set of leather armor, a few mushroom omelettes, and about 5 stacks of snowballs. I got 2 blaze rods and had a stack and a half left over. Snowballs are *very* effective against blazes, and are a lot cheaper than bows & arrows. Won't help vs nether ...

Couple of thoughts.

I like hardcore bouncing. It exercises the lateral thinking parts of my brain. I do not care for the nerf of stone picks being as strong as it is. I might bump the number of picks you can make by exhausting a stone pick to add one more whole pick. I've played for probably 4-5 hours on the changes, a...

Re: JLCustomz BTW Server Ver. [4.69b]

Your server is running out of memory and swapping. The disconnects are periodic, and when they happen they're preceded by lag. This happened to us a lot when I had a Debian server that had a paltry 512MB of RAM. The server would come right back up and only a few changes, if any, were undone. Restart...
