Really, someone's gotta do something about that.

I had this idea a few years ago to make a campaign to build cheap short ads for Linux and advertise the hell out of them in China and India. You target a third of the world population with just two languages, and they are generally countries where things are cheap (including advertising).

Brains are neural networks, so you repeat "Upgrade to Linux" enough, it's gonna get learned. Unfortunately I never found the time to seriously pursue that. Wanna take up the job?

The job would be:

- (Have someone) Create a sexy website for upgradetolinux.com etc. Have it be simple, and cool, and confidence inspiring, but contentwise be essentially like, here's an ubuntu image (or something we settle on as best for general public), install it with these instructions
- Get funding (I'm sure this will be easy given the numerous Linux enthusiasts)
- Make sexy very short ads (I have a lot of ideas for these)
- Coordinate with somebody in China and India to register these ads with radios, newspapers, tvs, billboards etc (as much as funding allows)

Anyone?

You may want to be extra careful on the "sexy" parts :tongue:

Great, I have been looking at Genesis Alpha One for a while, but I couldn't really convince myself to buy it... Now is the time to give it a try :smile:

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderAnyone know anything about Murdered: Soul Suspect [External Link]???

Yes, I played that game, but I was using Windows at the time, I don't know how it will run on Linux (it seems to be rated platinum on protondb [External Link] though) ...

Overall I did enjoy it, nice atmosphere and interesting plot, except for the last part of the game, which felt "rushed".
Also, like most of the games where discovering the mysteries is the main point, there is no real replayability, so take your time :wink:

I remember that game being a mini-game in Billy 2 [External Link] on Amstrad CPC :happy:

Quoting: anewsonI've always loved the NUC computers, now with Thunderbolt 3 I think it's finally viable for gaming[...]

Maybe I missed something, could you please explain how Thunderbolt 3 is that important for gaming ?

Of all these games, I think that Grim Horde is, for now, the only one with a native version, but is in early state...
I know Vampire Survivors is supposed to have a native Linux version "some day", I will be waiting then :wink:

Quoting: anewsonthe dungeons games are great, but if anyone out there likes the genre and hasn't played War for the Overworld, check it out as well!

I would love this genre, except everything post-Dungeon Keeper seems to be allergic to active/tactical pause. *sigh*

I'm your opinion, how does it compare to dungeon keeper? I really liked off the wall humor of the first one. I think it's expect no less from the genre

War for the Overworld was far less fun for me than Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2.

Some good ideas, but overall the monsters had less "personality" to them, and the game, while ok, felt a bit bland.
I haven't tried Dungeons 3 yet, but I think it has a coop campaign ? That would be nice to try :smile:

Quoting: hardpenguinOh cheers I'd love to play that

I remember playing the demo this summer, but for some reasons, it seems that they removed it ?

Wishlisted, but I hope it is not too much Celeste-y and much more Dead Cells-y :tongue:

Also, the spell variety and animations look kind of Wizard of Legend-y. Let's wait for a demo :smile:

Quoting: Purple Library Guy"Karmaflow The Rock Opera Videogame"
Huh. Isn't Brütal Legend the rock opera videogame?

I had to check on the box, but no, it only mentions "Brütal Legend (a game by Tim Schafer)" :tongue:
