Lucah: Born Of a Dream looks great, but I tried to watch some gameplay videos and now my eyes hurt. Might give it a miss after all.

Quoting: Avehicle7887

Quoting: NezchanCan't get the game to run. Apparently it relies on an old version of libcrypto (or libssl?) that I don't have.

It relies on SSL 1.0.0 apparently, got the same issue. Will try to wrap up a quick patch for you :)

EDIT:

This should do the trick, just drop the files in the game's folder (where GOG's own 'start.sh' file is): http://jrugia.com/files/Mable_SSL_1.0.0_Patch.tar.gz [External Link]

Compiled from libssl source 1.0.0s.

Many thanks, although I'm getting a file not found error when I try to download.

Looks like Nuclear Throne is already back to full price. Not surprising given the dev generally avoids putting the game on sale.

Quoting: The_Aquabattake vitamin D ppl this is good data (D3 D2 it's the same)... double blinded randomized tests

it can boost your chances of not getting SARS up to 20% (maybe even more)

Please don't spread misinformation. Both of your articles are from 2017 and do not apply to COVID-19, for which there is currently no treatment other than rest, lots of fluids, and painkillers to help with fever. Vitamin D is good for your health in general, but likely will have little to no impact in this case. Large doses of vitamin C, which are being pushed by a lot of the same sources claiming that a lot of D will take care of it, is outright false.

Most people who aren't deficient in D for whatever reason probably don't need to take supplements in the first place. It probably won't hurt you though, aside from lightening your wallet unnecessarily.

Don't forget the Roguelikes! Brogue and Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup are both free-as-in-beer.

And heck, you don't even have to download them. You can play online if you like.

Dwarf Fortress runs on Linux too, although I'm not entirely sure it's less painful than catching the virus.

If you're going to play it, take a look for the Linux LNP, which includes all the quality of life add-ons like DFhack and Dwarf Therapist.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe search stuff is fine for things whose name you remember. But, the stuff whose name I remember I mostly don't start from the menu, I start from a launcher--either a launcher I stuck on a taskbar or a launcher I leave sitting on the screen somewhere

If it works anything like the search function on MATE (and I believe it does), you don't have to remember the exact name. I can hit Win then "word processor" and AbiWord, FocusWriter and LibreOffice Writer all come up, and only one of those even has "word" in the name.

Quoting: Liam DaweZack-like

This really should be the "official" name for the genre!

Can't wait for the first zacklikevania deckbuilder with procedural elements mashup!

...it's weird living in a reality where that sentence actually makes sense.

Just took another shot at Solarus, and gamepad support is still apparently non-functional. I tried "Zelda Mystery of Solarus DX", which claims to have gamepad support, but apparently it doesn't. After getting through the intro and hitting D (as quite a long search through forums finally told me to do), it gave me options to map my gamepat buttons.

Which...was non-functional. I tried Steam Controller, XBox 360 pad and a PS2 controller, and it didn't recognize inputs from any of them. As playing a Zelda-esque game with keyboard only sounds like pure torture, I'm going to call Solarus non-functional in terms of playing games.

I did find a forum post from last October that refers to some mysterious "software" application where joypad permissions are turned off, but there's really nothing that explains what that is or where to find it, which is utterly ridiculous.
