Unfortunately the gameplay sucks so much that I just can't enjoy it. This game would really benefit from the random encounters being removed. Or even better: all the combat being removed.
Some small site updates tonight

Quoting: Psycic101Great feature. Any chance you can alphabetise the list grouped by time zone so it's easier to find the correct city?Dagnabbit, I was about to suggest it get sorted by UTC difference, like most websites do. Keep it like it is, I guess, but place the UTC value after the location name?
Reminder: Update your PC info for the next round of statistics updates

I should get myself a gaming rig, but it's hard to find Linux machines with a decent AMD GPU. I can't put one together myself, 'cause I always mess up putting the CPU on the motherboard and end up wrecking everything.

Tuxedo Computers have some very nice gaming laptops for people who can read German. Could be cheaper shipping-wise for people on the mainland.

Every time I see anything about the RPG Maker series I want to code a game engine that uses Perl for scripting tasks, but it'd just take too much of my time to really be worth the effort.

Yes, we also have good games, but I'd kinda prefer at least half of the games on Linux being good, rather than invoking Sturgeon's Law.

Quoting: liamdaweFallout 4 on Linux, yes please.No. No! Seriously, we already have plenty of crap games for Linux, we need good games, not festering piles of shit.

Natively on Linux I've been playing Starbound: It's pretty good.
On my PS Vita I've started a hard run of Persona 3 Portable, and I'm discovering the joy of using items in battle.
And finally I've also been playing a bunch of Neverwinter Nights 2 modules under Wine. The Warlock class in NWN2 is a lot more interesting than its P&P counterpart (due in part to video games not sticking to the recommended 4 encounters/day).

Nobody is willing to put in 10% more funds to get a potential 1% more sales. And we come back in our vicious circle (not enough platform selling games -> not many people want to switch -> not many devs want to port their games -> not enough platform selling games).

Quoting: Alm888The only way to get a Linux version at 100%+ of Windows performance is to work directly with developers and persuade them to build their games with Linux in mind from the ground-zero. And that's my point by which I stand.The unfortunate thing is that they won't be willing to put the money into the meagre amount of potential extra sales (don't look at absolute numbers, those are deceiving, look at percentages).

I could prolly hack up a scraper, but... the Steam API docs are written in a way that I don't really grok.
