Quoting: pbI'm not so sure about adding the 3rd dimension. It didn't end well for Trine 3...

That is about as comparable as an elephant to a frying pan.

To make a truly special grilled cheese, you need an African forest elephant. Bush elephants will do the job, but do you want a good sandwich, or a great one?

Quoting: NezchanSo is this one actually designed with people who wear glasses in mind? As far as I can tell, every VR headset on the market so far treats that as an afterthought, which is weird given the sheer number of glasses-wearers, presumably even on the engineering teams.

From what I've heard the Vive always had enough room for glasses. I'm sure Valve will do the same with the Index.

I can confirm. My wife wears glasses, i head a vive running in my work for 2 months for testing, with a lot of ppl who wear glasses, there were no problems!

How is it on the ears? I, and a lot of other glasses wearers, have problems with headphones due to that.

More Diablo-esque games on Linux would be welcome, I think. I loved Torchlight II, and Viktor Vran was good except for not being able to make my own character (still need to go back and finish that). Another good entry to that, hopefully one without the controller weirdness I had on VV, would go down nice.

Those are some mighty empty environments. Just big, boxy rooms with very little in them and a little bit of texturing, nothing to make them look "lived in" (or even "died in"). It's all very sterile, and the combat that takes place in them seems kind of awkward. That, and the extremely vague narration really doesn't make a world that draws me in and makes me want to explore it.

Quoting: BeamboomI can't believe some have become so fragile that they actually feel the need to shield their eyes from articles they don't want to read. It's not enough to just scroll past it, oh no, their tender minds applaud a feature where they can avoid such monstrous provocations to ever reach their retinas.

For fucks sake.

Next to mine, this is the second-stupidest comment in this whole discussion.

Hard to imagine someone on Linux having such a hard time comprehending why someone would want more choices to customize their experience. But here we are.

Great! Now if you want a nice, quiet site all you need to do is filter out the "liamdawe" tag and you're golden.

Quoting: GuestFrom the rest only Highway Blossoms seems to be noteworthy, rated at a 7.05 and just barely making it into the All Time Top #500. The rest gathers around the nondescript midfield of questionable quality, pulling ratings from the 6.-ish range and is probably only advisable for the hardened seeker of clichéd stereotypes and pitiful panty peeks. We are talking about Just Deserts (6.14), Ladykiller in a Bind (6.37), Sunrider Academy (6.35) and its sequel Sunrider: Liberation Day (6.76). Note that you can play Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius for free on GoG / Steam to see what the games are like (They have elements of turn-based strategy.)

I think Ladykiller In a Bind's position in terms of ratings may be misleading, since for one it's a much different sort of game than its Japanese fellows, being created by a Canadian and focusing on a different sort of LGBT+ cast. More importantly, it initially contained a controversial (justifiably so) scene that turned a lot of people off. The scene in question has been reworked to fix the problems, but reviews never really recovered from that.

Quoting: GuestI'm not terribly familiar with it but there is actually a broad strong history of making pervy games. This bundle is not interesting to me but hope you are all having fun whatever you are playing :)

Heck, people were making porn games back in the Atari days. It ain't a new thing.

Quoting: JetriJokes aside, might get $1 tier for Highway Blossoms, which looks like a sweet yuri VN, but honestly, I don't understand how this was put together - for example, why on top of all these (mostly) oddities is goddamn Clannad?

I'm not a VN sort of person, but I've heard really good things about Highway Blossoms.

Quoting: TuxgamerPeople buy this stuff? Let alone are interested in it?

People like things you don't? Inconceivable!

Unlike that other project, this one actually does have an interesting retro look, although the presence of modern guns in this setting seems a bit jarring (not to mention the half-orc/half-demon's instant expertise with them). But there seems to be something unique to it other than the look, so that's a big point in its favour.
