Quoting: STiATThe aradox CEO? Typo? ;-)

Aradox are the reptiloids that...

Oops.
You're not supposed to know.
I guess you know what I have to do now...

Quoting: OLucasZanellaWould've done the same if I hadn't surpassed the 2 hours by looking at a blank screen and hoping it would load.

It's not an absolute limit, you can still try. Maybe send them a link to an article that it's been broken many times.

Quoting: HyperdriveIt's suspiciously bad programming to not make windows and linux compatible for online play. As a programmer I can only shake my head in disbelief.

I wondered myself, but there's an explanation...

Quoting: HyperdriveBesides, friends don't let friends run Windows when they can run Linux.

:D

Quoting: ExpalphalogI've read that the single player is awful and the level of toxicity that I have encountered in every single multiplayer game I have ever tried has guaranteed that I only play single player games anymore.

I'm sensitive to such behaviour as well. But I had a very good time with Frozen Synapse with the friendliest community by a wide margin I've ever met in a competitive online game. So... don't give up.

...but I didn't pick up Payday either.

Quoting: KohlyKohlHopefully this will run well with only 6GB. I don't feel like paying $100 to upgrade my ram.

Depending on your configuration, you might be able add 4 GB for ~30 bucks or 2 GB for ~15.

Quoting: razing32Couple of videos I would like to share on the topic:

Thanks for these tipps!
The videos both were interesting.
The central point that I didn't get is in the first video at about 4:00: Cards of worthless games, probably worthless themselves, can be converted to gems and these can be sold or converted to valuable cards.

I happened to have tried the demo yesterday - yes, there's a demo available, also for Linux!


Unfortunately, I didn't get into it. The small but irritating graphical glitches (on Nvidia) probably played a role in this. Maybe I'll give it a second shot later...

Quoting: Mrokii

Quoting: EikeNow, this is too special for a recommendation,

Heh, well my third try would then be this: Platforming is fine, as long as it doesn't end in bullet hell and unfair bosses.

Ah, no, I meant the game I mentioned is too special, not your description! :)

Quoting: MrokiiThe games I remember having enjoyed very much (independent of category): the Penumbra-series

Amnesia, SOMA?

Quoting: MrokiiHalf Life 1

Bioshock Infinite?

Quoting: Mrokiitext- and "click & point"-adventures like the Lucasfilm-series and others.

Day of the Tentacle, Harvey's new Eyes, Thimbleweed Park, Deponia series, Book of Unwritten Tales 1 & 2, Broken Sword 5, Gemini Rue, Journey Down, Blackwell series, Shivah?

Quoting: MrokiiLimbo

Quoting: MrokiiSorry, I should have been a bit more specific, I guess. I am rather into (platforming) games that have a lot of exploration possibilities (like in Hollow Knight), but not quite as tough bosses (also, like in Hollow Knight). Basically, metroidvania-like games that don't require expert-skills when it comes to boss-fights.

Now, this is too special for a recommendation, but one of the very few games from my youth that in my humble opinion stood the test of time is this one on MSX:

Platforming, lots of exploration and mysteries, made by the wizards of Konami. Can't say too much about the bosses though. It even featured some "saving" ability by getting a code at some place that you could enter to return at that state. Nowadays, you could always save using an emulator's capabilities.
