Quoting: robvvI've got to the final episode and have been going through some of the alternative choices I could have made in previous episodes. It's great fun!
As PublicNuisance wasn't sure: Is it possible to disable the "timed" aspect of choices?

Quoting: whizseBesides the fullscreen fix I had to set a resolution manually in config.ini:

FULLSCREEN = no
RESOLUTION = 1920x1080
I got an empty config.ini and similar problems (on KDE).
The ini file is to be found here: ~/.local/share/Tall\ Story\ Games/Lucy\ Dreaming\ Demo\ V1.1/config.ini

Jokes aside, actually without pollinators and wind or animals to distribute seeds, plants would not spread on their own regardless of other favourable conditions.
Once you've increased the atmosphere to Earth-like pressures, there's gonna be wind. :wink: Though it's a good point about animal-based seed spreading…clearly the solution is to allow us to introduce animals to start spreading plants about the planet faster! :grin:
I heard taking some thousand *inserthighlypopulatedcountryhere* people with brushes could work as well. ;)

Quoting: tuubiNot challenging? So it's a modern tribute to Myst for those who didn't actually like the Myst series? :tongue:
I tried to express something along these lines but failed, mainly because I didn't actually play Myst. I got the impression that it was hard in some... unpleasant way. So references to Myst are actually putting me off, though I do like hard puzzlers.

The best Linux distros for gaming in 2021

Quoting: slaapliedjeIndeed! After that it basically lasts forever. I'd had the same install for years and years, and the only reason I re-installed was due to going from 32bit to 64bit... and even then, there was a way to upgrade that way, it was just kind of a pain. But I've had the same install on my server since then.
I had given up my old Debian install after, dunno, 15 years or so, because the X server couldn't cope with a very outdated config file entry. I'm still not sure if it was luck or bad luck that I only found out afterwards. I guess a fresh install every decade is ok. ;)

Quoting: slaapliedjeTo be fair, the only things I do after a debian install to make it 'gaming ready' are the following
Yes!

... and happy 6 years cake day!

Portal 2 gets more DXVK Vulkan improvements with another update
2 Mar 2021 at 3:32 pm UTC

Quoting: DuncThe thing is, you can only play it for the first time once.
A fate it shares with Amnesia Rebirth or Life is Strange 2. I think both are better than the respective first parts, but I find it hard to judge as... yeah, it's not the first time again.

I've seen the web comics, but I didn't know the name so I wasn't aware this is connected. Nice!
