If I remember correctly, the PC version didn't adapt to the CPU speed and ran way too fast on my system back then.
Anybody knows if that's correct?

Play-by-appointment: mechanisms that reward returning to the game (e.g. daily quests) will get a PEGI 7.

I consider this too low. I know how hard my child (8 yo) would be crying if I wouldn't allow to fetch the daily reward.

There used to be a "non-US" variant of Debian due to crpyto restrictions (decades ago): https://wiki.debian.org/non-US [External Link]

And for me, it's only showing Linux native games, as I prefer!

Oh.. I think you just solved an "issue" I was having that was puzzling me the last few days. Hi had Esoteric Ebb wishlisted, and it did not appear in my personal calendar nor the trending games at start compared to other games launched on the same day, like Scott Pilgrim Ex, for which # of wishlists/sales were lower. Turns out all the other games had Linux versions.

Steam is giving more relevance to games with linux showing up, in both personal calendar and homepage. Thanks for pointing that out!

There's a switch somewhere on Steam to have only Linux versions shown. It sometimes kicks in and sometimes doesn't. Seems it does here?

Quoting: EikeYou don't actually, literally think that you are talking to/writing with a hole in a backside. People get a money fine for insulting.

So what you are saying, is that you have to pay for the "privilege" of insulting (figurative) assholes.

Erm, no. It's forbidden, and I don't think you would get through with always paying. The punishment would rise on repetition (as it should). Furthermore, those fines are based on your daily net income. ("Tagessatz"/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-fine [External Link]), so people with bigger income couldn't easily just "pay it away".

Quoting: Mountain ManTo be fair, we're still far behind Europe where you can and will be arrested for posting "offensive" messages on social media.

You can be punished for say calling someone an a**hole. Not for stating an actual opinion. (You do not really believe that a person is a backside - it's not an opinion, it's all insult.) I fail to see a problem with that.

So it's an insult. It's also an opinion. (and insulting opinion?)

I may have difficulties to express that in English, but no, it is not an opinion. You don't actually, literally think that you are talking to/writing with a hole in a backside. That wouldn't be able to talk/write in the first place. The opinion would be that you're talking to a human being you severely dislike. And you're free to state that.

Quoting: CanadianBlueBeerNot something that should get one arrested.

That I agree with, but I never heard of such a case either. I don't know how severe the case needs to be for that to actually happen. People get a money fine for insulting. If there happens anything in the first place, the absolute vast majority is not getting anything for it at all, no matter if it's a real life insult or happening in the net.

You clearly do not value freedom of speech.

I value the freedom to state your opinion.

I do not see any value in insulting people, no.

Well, obviously, nobody wants that. Would you link a source to read it up?

Quoting: vertigoHas anyone played it? I'm looking for more games in the vein of Talos Principle and Portal.

It's got a demo, so you can try it for free (using Proton).
I don't think it's the same league as those two though. Not really the same (sub) genre either.
