Just want to say I like Trawl. The typewriter mechanic brings out the poetic muse in me, in much the same way The Things We Lost In the Flood [External Link] does.

Also I found three items before my radio inexplicably exploded.

So I'm curious, as someone who's not really familiar with the OpenMW project. Is the goal here to make an engine that recreates the original Morrowind, or one that's actually an improvement on it in a kind of "Morrowind, but better" sense?

Okay, this is very strange. I installed libcrypto.so.1.0.0 a few days back in order to get several games in the bundle to work. Obviously it's there because first of all those games wouldn't work without it, and second, I'm literally looking at it in my file browser right now.

However, The Aquatic Adventures Of the Last Human won't work because it claims the library *doesn't* exist. Which is clearly incorrect. And yes, it's the 32-bit version.

If you're interested in categorizing the items in the bundle, I ran across this yesterday and it turned out to be tremendously useful. I simply had that open in a browser window and used the search on the Itch client to find and add everything I'm intereested in trying out to a collection, so I can install them at my leisure.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI am really tired of these "retro" look games.
In those days, the games looked pixelated because of the technical limitations of that era (like low res images and 256 colours) and not because the developers wanted to do that...

I'm very sure the devs of those days wanted to give the highest graphic quality they could achieve with the few technical resources they had.

Anyway, I have an old CRT monitor just in case I want to play real retro games like Hexen or Heretic.

There are good ways to approach pixel art, which have good reasons behind them. But this isn't one of those situations.

According to videos they've put out, the pixel look is just a filter that you can turn off. It's solely there for the nostalgia factor, not for, say, abstraction or a consistent style the way it is in a lot of games. Honestly, to me it just makes everything look needlessly blurry.

Every time you post about this game I misread it as ProTeus, and get my hopes up for a new ethereal randomized music/exploration experience.

Not that this isn't good too, of course.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: HoriStraight people insulting lgbt people, lgbt people insulting straight people
Windows users insulting linux users, linux users insulting windows users
etc, etc

I never ever heard anybody insult anyone with "You hetero!" (or whatever the heterosexual version of insulting homosexual might look like in English).

Closest thing I generally run into is either generalized expressions of frustration such as "Die, cis scum" or a heavy sigh followed by "I regret to inform you that the straights are at it again." Which isn't really the same, now is it?

Given I live within walking distance of Québec, I should check this out.

Several games aren't working for me, throwing up what seems to be the same error, that I don't have libcrypto so.1.0.0, and some sort of warning about not being able to refresh upload because I haven't bought the game.

This applies so far to Cook Serve Delicious 2, Village Monsters, and Mabel & The Wood.
