I've had this for ages, and basically forgot it existed. Tempted to try it out again sometime.

Small site update in regards to the moderation queue, which is now live on article comments

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: meggermanHonestly i think you can be a bit thin skinned at times, i do.
I've been called that numerous times and I couldn't care less.
Liam is thick skinned about being called thin skinned.

As far as moderation goes, I wouldn't be the first to say that a healthy discussion requires some degree of curation. What Liam is putting in place seems to be the bare minimum, although it wouldn't surprise me at all if there were folks who consider it Going Too Far. But as the saying goes, "If you try to please everyone, somebody won't like it." So you just gotta draw your line where you draw it, and stick to that. Good on Liam for doing so.

Humble Indie Bundle 18 is here with Owlboy, Kentucky Route Zero & more

"Season pass" on Kentucky Route Zero. It's been a year since Act IV came out, which itself took two years to make. Those are some looooong seasons!

The closest thing I can see to a status update is "Yeah it's coming!" on Twitter from March.

Quoting: Xpander
Quoting: KimyrielleI skipped on Victor Vran because I am not too eager to play games that force me to play a male character, at least not unless premade female characters become just as normal.

Sorry but what the hell? There are games where you need gender lock because of the story, Victor Vran is pretty much one of those. Ohh noo why do i have to play as female character in Tomb Raider? ...

thats just seriously stupid if you ask me. Why does the gender in games matter at all. If its designed this way its how you play it, if it has a choice to choose, then you choose what you want to play.
You sound upset. People have preferences. People like to play games with leads they can identify with. And yeah, there have been complaints by dudes about games that have female leads, even though there still aren't that many of them.

I've only played a bit of Victor Vran, and honestly so far I haven't really come across much that really requires him to be this particular dude. He's a bit of a cipher, you could swap him out for pretty much any gruff, detached character and have very much the same game. Is there something later on that contradicts that?

This is the sort of thing I'm into these days. Gonna keep an eye on it.

Feral Interactive are teasing yet another Linux game

Quoting: rea987Wishing amazing titles like Doom (2016) is okay but bringing that one and Skyrim in every Feral news is pointless. So, I suggest you to stop expecting Linux ports of Bethesda titles; instead asking titles of Sega, Square Enix, Codemasters, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, 2K Games would be more realistic.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Spoiler, click me
(psst....Skyrim)

Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim

A disturbing thought: Maybe one day Feral really will port Skyrim, and then where would I be?

Albion Online to revamp the Hell Gate battles

I don't mind that there are PvP focused MMOs, people seem to like them well enough even if I don't find them engaging. But it seems like most MMOs for Linux are basically PvP sandboxes. Other than something like Ryzom (kinda dull, tbh) and Runescape (kinda clunky), there's not much to offset that.

Skyrim.

Oh, they're subtle, but I see through their clever ruse!
