I will wait.

I'm optimistic someone will make it compile and run on Linux. :)

Microsoft leak shows Fallout 3 and Oblivion Remasters, DOOM Year Zero and more

Quoting: fabertaweI've more or less finished playing Fallout 3 for the first time and unless they fix the code to stop it crashing every five minutes, then stick with the original (cheaper), as you'll have to mod it for a stable play through anyway and there's a plethora of QOL and graphic enhancement mods to choose from.
I played through Fallout 3 (on Windows back then) and cannot remember any crashes. I didn't use mods.

We may see Counter-Strike 2 release next week

Quoting: heidi.wengerIt seems without an account you can't even read messages no more in that god awful "X"
It doesn't show the replies any more, but seeing the "base" message still works for me?
There might be quota so it doesn't even show tweets "x's" anymore when used up?

Terraria dev Re-Logic donates $100K to Godot Engine and FNA, plus ongoing funding

Quoting: Pyretic
Quoting: EikeI used to think Godot might be the most interesting alternative engine only from our Linux perspective. Now it seems it's the one profiting the most from what Unity has done?
The beauty of open source licences is that anyone can open up the engine and see whether it's worth it for them to start using it.

Although I imagine Unreal Engine has gotten a similar boost in popularity.
Yeah, but its less visible, people won't start donating to it. Makes sense! Expectations adjusted. :)

Quoting: Nim8Yeah, I think a lot of media for steam didn't really mention DF project is trying to ...
This comment should have become an article on GoL. Thanks for all the information!

Unity apologises for the new runtime fee, say they will make changes

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: scaineHuh, so I didn't realise that they'd started their own funding platform, which explains why the patreon contributions are in decline. They're still making $10K/month on Patreon too, but it's on the way down, definitely. I was contributing there and must have missed their announcement that they were setting up on their own. Link is here if you're interested: https://fund.godotengine.org [External Link].
There's this site where I find out about this stuff 😉

Don't you link such obscure websites here please! Gaming? On Linux?!? What a joke!

Comedy point and click The Will of Arthur Flabbington releases November 10

Quoting: razing32Not to be a stick in the mud ... BUT ... why oh WHY do they always have to be "comedy"
I get Monkey Island was a classic and damn good , but does every game need comedy in it ?
I'd love to play a point and click horror or sci-fi , just straight up , no quips or sarcasm/pop culture references.
I'm fine with comedy - if they do it well. I'm fine with other genres as well. (Though there's a problem with point and click when there's something urgent, like a alarm had been set off. It's just not going to resonate with pointing, clicking and puzzle solving.)

All those eighties/nineties customer service pop culture references though... Just too many of them.

Quoting: Installisnt this bad news for linux? from what i understand that engine supports linux.
I share this sentiment. I played many good games made with Unity, and it's sad to follow this development.
