Quoting: NezchanTime for my takes, get 'em while they're hot!Worked very well for me when I tried it some weeks ago (using an Xbox 360 controller).
Just Crow Things (Native): Unplayable. Runs, but no sound and inputs b0rked. Constantly moves character to the right on keyboard, Steam Controller barely works, and Logitech controller can't open the pause menu. Only way to quit is alt-F4. Shame, because I really wanted to try this one.

Man, I had days where I "woke up" from playing in the mid of the night, having to get up early next day...

Quoting: kaimanAs much as I like the game's underlying concept, after more than 30 years, it all feels a bit worn out to me. I guess history holds no surprises anymore, and making the mechanics more convoluted every time does not necessarily make for better gameplay.That's the feeling I had, too. I guess they can't say "Hey, we finally made it less complex!" But that might be what I'm longing for. Or, maybe, it's just not for me anymore?

In the end of course it doesn't matter much where it is, if only all games would use the same...

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'd say this is XDG_DATA_HOME / $HOME/.local/share:Quoting: PublicNuisanceStuff like this rarely effetcs me. I actually prefer to not use cloud saves. I want manual offline options and to back it up myself. People can complain it's more work, and it is, but then again when crap like this happens I just laugh and go about my day.It'd be nice if there were a folder where game saves were put by standard.

I allowed the game to send a crash report, they put up an update already, and (while still warning about the driver) it is working now! :wub:
Need to show that game to my little ones for sure!

When I start the game, it shows two rendering possibilities, Nvidia driver 545 and some LLVM CPU Idontknow, both declared unsupported, both crashing.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumWhy does everyone write this?When quickly skimming through text, I would need some help to decipher "X". Like "... on the social media platform X". But as others said: I also take the wording as sort of distancing.
X (formerly Twitter)
I mean.. who doesn't know this at this point? Why not just write "on X"?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyBut if you're a minor player, none of the game developers give a damn about your machine; things will run on it or they won't. Consumers buy one of your machines if they happen to see an ad and think huh, maybe I'll get that. They don't have a long-running relationship with your brand. In that situation, you might as well keep iterating to the latest hardware so at least you get an advantage in specs over the big players.Designing a new device doesn't come for free though...
