Title: You should probably take a break from GOIO when...
Post by: Shukketsushi on April 08, 2013, 05:49:50 am
..you're so tired that the sound of rain on the Fjords is putting you to sleep.


A thread for those, "Well, shit," moments after hours of playing.

When my slurring from being up so late is mistaken for Russian.

When my drivers wheel seems like it has spokes and my accelerator is moonshine.

When I slip into pirate voice whenever I pilot the Cloud Whaler, and forget that I'm still in pirate voice an hour later.

I think about the cool battles I've been in when I try to sleep.

But like, from the spectators point of view.

It's weird.

When you have over 3000 matches played and over 900 in-game hours.

But I certainly dont listen.

That's insane Zill. I have about 1000 matches played and only 257 hours.

I have nearly 1800 captain matches alone. I forget the hours. I dont even dream about it though.

...when my game crashes late at night and I feel too lazy to restart it one more time.
It happened a few times xDD

My solution to avoid having to quit because of feeling lazy during night is not to use the mic (fixes the crash thing), but then my crew rage-quit because I don't sail well without speaking..
:sad:

(>.<) steam, please fix it...

Yea, but I suppose you don't run the buggy steam under linux, right?
I think it's the only big issue out there right now. All steam games crash at random when you use the microphone under linux.

Oh yeah, the Linux version is stupidly buggy. That's understandable, considering that it was only recently released. I certainly can't imagine that it's fun to deal with that.

I think it's fun to be able to use steam under linux.
What I like about linux is that almost every problem in Linux has a fix. Maybe you just have to patch something, change some configuration file, or just stop using some software and start using an equivalent one.
The problem is that there are not configuration files for Steam, you can't replace software, and of course, you can't patch anything.
You rely only on steam devs to fix it.
I mean, I'm not happy about it, I just feel as if I were under windows where I can't change or fix anything on my own!

At first, steam guys didn't do anything to fix this issue (has been reported and open for more than 2 months). And now they seem to have started doing some research.
I don't blame they, nor do I blame Muse. In fact, the bug goes down  to PulseAudio (a package controlling sound under linux), and they didn't know until a week ago.
I just hope this gets fixed soon.

And, back on topic, that's the main reason I stop playing some nights xD

it's just odd being a Sniper with a Spinfusor on a Goldfish shooting at Ribbon Pigs...
