Randy Pitchford might be not nice here... but he's so right. Games usually costed 100 Deutsche Mark in the Nineties. 100 DM in say 1995 would be - inflation included - 88€ nowadays. That's 100$. How come people know that stuff get's more expensive over the decades, but do not accept when computer games do... just the same?

I can finish DOTT without looking up anything (fucking love it), but I'm afraid I'll spend my time looking solutions up because I'm stuck all the time.

In my humble opinion: If you solved DOTT on your own, you're ready for every modern adventure game.

Missed that news!
Zach wanted to get away from that sort of games I think,
but when your name defines a genre already...! :grin:

Trese Brothers, I played most of their games and I always admired the depth of mechanics they had. It was breathtaking sometimes. I tried Cyber Knights during beta on Steam Deck. Will try it again now when it's finally out :-)

This makes me afraid, to be honest. :grin: I wouldn't like it more complex than XCOM 2.

My son was a "forced" Linux user for years, always planning/threatening to buy his own copy of Windows to spite me, until eventually he got a Windows laptop for work... He is now a sworn Linux supporter, lol.

Could you refrain from saying the never getting old "I told you, son."? :grin:

I'm playing EXAPUNKS for a long time already, trying to beat every puzzle at least as good as the 10th percentile, and the current one mayyybe at 1%. (I think it's the fifth bonus level.)

*edit* Wow. Steam says I'm 99 hours into it.

its to eary to see the effects of piewdiepie promoting linux?

I'd be surprised if that had huge effects. I see it more as one puzzle piece among many.

What is the all time high of Linux share?

I think this one is it.

Also going to be available on gog, though the page there doesn't indicate a linux version yet.

Not to be confused with Forsaken Quarted, which, um, lies in a different "classic" genre.

The only(!) Google hit for "Forsaken Quarted" is this very page...
