I've started a new play through. I've never actually played BM all the way through, I'm looking forward to seeing the little extras they've added in along the way.

I'm glad they didn't botch the event like they did with the summer sale. :whistle:
I've already spent far too many pennies this last month or so, so I've had to padlock my wallet until payday.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyMy view is that it isn't bathwater, it's epoxy resin. The two things are too tightly tied together -- GTK3 is developed by gnome for gnome. They don't care if cinnamon breaks every six months because they changed all the library functions, so long as gnome keeps working. I don't want to deal with gnome's shit, so I don't use gtk3. I'm not attached to that "baby", so I'm not going to waste my time trying to separate it from the "bathwater". :wink:Quoting: WorMzyI too can't stand Gnome3. So instead I use Mate and occasionally Cinnamon . . . both of which, I believe, use gtk3. So I feel you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater there.Quoting: CyrilMostly historical reasons -- I'm still bitter that the gnome devs just unceremoniously threw gnome2 out the window and said that everyone should use the monstrosity that is gnome3 instead. :sick:Quoting: WorMzyMeh, uses gtk3. I'll keep running teams at work on a Windows client.Why you don't like GTK3? What would you prefer instead?
I also particularly don't like Gnome devs hostile attitude towards end users who don't want to use their defaults, their tendency to break themes every six months (allegedly they've stopped doing this now?), and them telling application devs that they should only have code for gtk/gnome-specific "features" (instead of coding for multiple DEs), etc..
What I prefer instead is anything that isn't gtk3. Like I said, I'd rather run a Windows application than a native Linux gtk3 app.
Quoting: CyrilOr rather, why Qt is better than GTK3?I don't know, and I don't care which is better, and I don't want to get into that debate; I just don't allow gtk3 on my systems and actively avoid applications that use it (unless I can recompile them to use something else).

Will definitely pick this up if they decide to stick it up on Steam.

I've not played it since 2017, but it's a pretty fun game once you get into it.
Unfortunately it now depends on gtk3, so I can't play it any more. It's a shame, since I wouldn't mind getting back into it.
