Quoting: toojaysIs Sonic 2 worth playing if I already have Sonic Mania?
If you have never played the old Sonic games before, it could be worth it. You might discover a lot of references that were hidden in Sonic Mania :wink:

Northgard hits 2 million copies sold, Clan of the Lynx DLC is out now
19 Sep 2020 at 8:37 am UTC

Quoting: Nibelheim
Quoting: 14
Quoting: Linas
Quoting: 14Too bad my friend and I can't even get past the first campaign mission :cry:
Why not?
There is a time limit to complete the objective. The objective requires an enormous amount of food stored. One of the failures, we didn't even know how much food we needed. Another, we ran out of time.
No offense but maybe you did something wrong...

I finish the History Mode in Hard (at a moment where it was harder than now). If I remember well, you don't need food amount in the first mission... You just need to discover and get north of the map then build a Drakkar Dock. Nothing else...

Spoiler, click me
Like this then you win :
I second that... I haven't played Northgard since a long time, so I started the campaign again and did the first mission. Just went to the indicated region and built the docks. If there were any other requirements, they are probably low enough that I could get the mission done without even knowing about those requirements.

Northgard is a very cool game, I just bought another copy to send a friend to play with :smile:

The weekend chat - what have you been playing?
14 Sep 2020 at 4:08 am UTC

While I was approaching the end of Undead Horde, I was thinking "it would be nice if this game had a "New Game Plus" mode).

Turns out, it has... So I have been playing another playthrough on Era 2, and now I am in the middle of the Era 3 (it seems there are 5 eras... I guess there is only one way to find out :tongue: )

Apart from that, it seems I ruined the boot section of my laptop, trying to install EndeavourOS. I get a strange Grub command line... The good news is, when typing exit, Windows proceeds to boot normally, so at least it is still usable.

Quoting: flesk
Quoting: furaxhornyx- Once more, I made a friend discover Overcooked [External Link]. This game never disappoint :smile:
You know the sequel has a native Linux version? Great game, with lots of extra content available.
Yep, I bought it almost day one, but haven't played it yet. We were supposed to discover the game with 3 friends... and then there was lockdown :sick:

Quoting: onurBPlaying a lot of Unrailed together with friends on the couch and even over remote play together. Awesome game which surprisingly everyone who plays seems to like. Absolutely recommend :D
Forgot to mention Unrailed as well, but it is fun indeed !

Quoting: TobyGornowsmall question : How do you motivate yourself to work on your personal project ? I'm currently in a high procrastination period, so much It's been a month or more since I've touched my two Godot project I've got on the burner. Same with my music, I pick my guitar for 5 minutes, scratch it a little and put it back. What's your trick ?
Maybe it's just a period... Really busy at work.
Unfortunately, I am king of unfinished projects (I probably have ~40 projects in Ableton Live, and only 3-4 that I finished). It all comes down to what you want to do with the result: for me, I am more interested in trying weird stuff, rather than producing full songs. What do you want to do with Godot ? Self-learning ? Showcase ? I usually find it easier to finish something when I have a clear idea of what I want to do with it.

Also, sometimes it is just enough to simply open your project, see where it's at, and take it from here :wink:

I tried demos of Unbound: World Apart and Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart of the Forest

- Unbound has some very nice graphics and atmosphere, and some clever puzzles, but I tend to get a little bored after a while. If you enjoy this kind of game, you should definitely give it a try though.

- Werewolf, well, I tried it because it was the only visual novel-like game that made me install it and want to play it, but it is too slow. Nice atmosphere though.

- Once more, I made a friend discover Overcooked [External Link]. This game never disappoint :smile:

- Finally, I bought Undead Horde on sale, and this game has got me hooked the whole Sunday. It's a simple gameplay, but very fun (and way easier than Iratus :smile:)

As for the gamepad, my several Xbox 360 controllers work perfectly, even the one included with my Xbox 360, around 15 years ago. I do have an Xbox One controller as well (the lovely Sea of Thieves edition [External Link] :wub:), but the detachable cable tend to cause disconnections, and on wireless mode, some buttons are not mapped properly (notably the map button), which is why I still rely on the trusty 360s.

What are you playing this weekend? We're Linux distro-hopping

No much time to play this week (did a few more runs on Wizard of Legend), but, like Liam, Children of Morta and switching from Manjaro to EndeavourOS are on my ToDo list :smile:

314 Arts announce Projekt Z, an upcoming free co-op zombie shooter

Quoting: DrakkerWow, weapons will randomly jam. What a nice feature, I always wanted to get killed in a game because my weapon jammed, sounds like so much fun! (Not.)
I know that Synthetik: Legion Rising also has a Weapon Jam mechanic [External Link]. In this rogue-like game with perma-death, it adds a bit of stress, to spice things up ;)

You might as well compare it to a "silenced", "staggered", or "blinded" mechanic from other game: not being able to shoot for a short time may keep you on your toes and look for alternatives (i.e. cover / hideout) in case things go wrong, instead of just plain run & gun. It depends on how the mechanic is implemented and how often it triggers :wink:

There's going to be an online Linux App Summit this November

Quoting: Purple Library Guy
Quoting: furaxhornyxWhich usually end up on some obscure command line (so modern... :whistle:)
Speaking as someone who generally avoids the command line, when it comes to troubleshooting I prefer it. It's a lot easier to follow instructions to do command line stuff than to do GUI stuff, and it tends to be a lot less subject to change between versions. And it's more powerful for that kind of thing. So to me, the Windows tendency for troubleshooting instructions to be based on doing some weird tucked away GUI thing is a weakness rather than a strength.
We'll have to agree to disagree on that one :wink: (I could develop more, but I feel like it's not the right place to do so)

Domino House is an upcoming slightly creepy escape room puzzler

Same here, just finished the demo. It was quite a nice experience, I'll add it to wishlist for now :smile:

Quoting: Avehicle7887Got back to dying in Dead Cells, it has been a while since last I played it and there's been huge amount of content since then.
When I am done with unlocking everything back in Wizard of Legend, I will probably go back to Dead Cells and discover the last few DLC contents (or die trying :whistle:). I only made 1 playthrough since The Bad Seed, so there's probably a lot more to discover now.

Edit: just finished the demo of Domino House , and you should probably give it a try if you haven't done so yet :wink:
