Quoting: GroganI can't get the Blacksad giveaway to load. I tried a few days ago and just shrugged, but still can't, no matter how many times I reload the page. (extensions disabled, cleared cache etc.). I don't have any Chrome based browsers and I don't want to.I found that I had to temporarily change the setting for two sites in Privacy Badger, in order to get the giveaway to work in Firefox. Don't think I'll be doing that again, honestly.

Quoting: PenglingI found that I had to temporarily change the setting for two sites in Privacy Badger, in order to get the giveaway to work in Firefox. Don't think I'll be doing that again, honestly.
To see if I could get it to work, I disabled my "privacy" extension, and in firefox itself, I don't let the browser itself "protect" me from anything. I have "Custom" set for tracking protection with all the boxes disabled. I also have their phishing protection turned off ("deceptive content" they call it). I also have "fission" (firefox's site isolation) disabled in about:config because it has caused me problems in the past.
So there really shouldn't have been anything preventing that from working.
What I block, is unwanted crap in the first place, which automatically solves a lot of those privacy problems. Other than that, I don't like nannying software.

Quoting: dvdQuoting: soulsourceThe Blacksad game is quite good, though they might have overdone it a bit with the (sometimes not so) unexpected twists.
It had some minor technical issues with Proton when I played it, but nothing critical.
I honestly don't know how I've never heard of this game since it was released. First giveaway that got me genuinely excited.
I would recommend the game to the fans of the comic book only. It is competently made, but has nothing really to set it apart from other games. The detective aspect is so-so implemented, the characters are meh, the gameplay is seen before done better. I completed the game recently, so at least it kept me interested enough to finish it, but it wouldn't be a waste if I didn't.
