Is that a common alternative for "gear" or "cog"? Not sure I've seen it used before.
It would be the word-by-word translation of the German word for it, "Zahnrad".

That's nice! I wouldn't ever have considered one of those > 1000 € notebooks, but this is something to take into account. I also like that they offer dualboot installations. Of course, AMD CPUs would have been nice as well. But I'll remember this when my wife wants her next notebook.

... and Windows installation is an additional > 100 bucks! 👍

Quoting: undeadbydawnThe Frictional-approved Amnesia Remastered mod is up, and it's glorious. Get it here https://www.moddb.com/mods/amnesia-the-dark-descent-remastered [External Link]

you have to place the included main_settings.cfg in ~.frictionalgames/Amnesia/Main for it to actually work, and work it very much does.
Came for rebirth, left with a dark decent. Thank you! I was not aware of this mod, but now, I shall be replaying the original Dark Descent until rebirth is out. :heart:
So, this was kind of a rebirth of the good old game. :)
