The Humble 'Female Protagonist Sale' is live, with some awesome Linux games
2 October 2018 at 7:56 pm UTC

I'm looking longingly at Child of Light, which I bought shortly before switching (back) to Linux, and is listed as Borked on the Steam Play compatability list. Really wanted to play that through, too.

Quoting: Doc Angelo
Quoting: heidi.wengerWe live in a time of great change and such times always include some insanity which will pass in time. Some real life people change their gender identification in their heads each week you know.

The weird thing is that exactly those people who constantly remind others that gender doesn't matter are those who put great effort into creating new categories, pronouns and names for the thing that isn't supposed to matter in the first place. In a rather ironic turn of events, those who fight categories are masters of putting themselves into ever more categories. Those who demand to be treated equally demand to be treated differently by inventing new pronouns and words and requesting the usage of those from others. They separate themselves from so called "normal cis het people" and demand to be dealt with as if they were the same.

Insanity indeed.

This is why we need a Skyrim port for Linux.

All those axes to grind, and no way to boost your blacksmithing skill.

Quoting: ArehandoroTacoma keeps looking at me with sweet eyes everytime there is an offer...

I saw a stream of Tacoma a while back that had a couple of the people that worked on it as guests (forget who exactly), and if there's ever a game that would benefit by a commentary track, that's it. The "ON3 V3IN" running gag on its own would make it worth it. If you do get it, take the extra time to really poke around and check all the little details.

Quoting: GuestBest news since Proton was announced! This means playable Skyrim at last! My favourite game of all time!

Skyrim is playable on linux(with wine) for a very long time. I'm playing it for 2 years.

Just don't do any quests that involve going underwater.

Quoting: ElectricPrismIn the name of equality I wonder if people would have been outraged if Humble Bundle had a "Male Protagonist Sale"

There's always gotta be that one guy...

Quoting: InverseTelecineOkami HD is still borked on Proton. But it's still funny to see the game in the sale because years ago when the game first came out nobody knew Amaterasu was female!

Well, all the Japanese people it was originally designed for knew it, given Amaterasu is the name of a pretty famous goddess and all.

Egosoft to launch X4: Foundations on November 30th, hopefully with a Linux beta build

I tried to play X3: Reunion, and it was utterly unplayable due to a rolling bug that set my ship spinning unless I actively held it in place. It was reported to the devs by a number of people, but to the best of my knowledge never fixed.

Hopefully they're a little more responsive with this one.

Oh my god, Feral is releasing a Total War game!

That is totally unexpected!

Aspyr Media have a big sale going on the Humble Store, some sweet deals to be had

Honestly, I'm tempted to get Civ VI, but do I really need another game to play right now? I've got a pile of stuff in my backlog already, and I'm sure this isn't the last time I'll see it this low.

SKYRIM AT LAST!

Village building god sim 'Rise to Ruins' had an absolutely massive update
19 September 2018 at 4:28 pm UTC

I played it ages ago (around InDev 15-ish I think), and it was fun enough. Clearly it's changed a lot with multiple villages and a lot of new/different mechanics. Every now and then I look at it and wonder if I want to re-install and give it another try, but I never do in the end.

Even back then, it seemed like a game that needs a really robust tutorial. Anyone who's been keeping up, does it have that? And how's the balancing of the enemy monsters? It was a little lopsided back then in favour of the monsters.
