Quoting: joaojottaIs this game inspired by the board game or the other way around or not related at all?
Liam starts the article with "Gloomhaven, the digital adaptation of the acclaimed board game...". Doesn't that answer your question? :)

Based on the trailer, I'm torn. I mean I like a nice, quirky point-and-click as much as the next guy, but I prefer ones with relaxing gameplay (definitely no timers or quick time events) and a decent story I can enjoy in a single play-through. Or if there's branching, at least let me experience the branches without too much repetition or trial and error.

where your choices will have an impact and there will be…consequences
This phrase again... But I guess it would make a decent drinking game if you read through descriptions of recent game releases and had to take a swig every time one mentions "choices" and "consequences".

Quoting: DiegoHi, on last 2 days i have to format the pc 4 times, every single time that i change or instal de graphics drivers from the software center, the os brakes, 2 times zorin os and 2 times manjaro, whow this works?
I haven't got enough experience with either of those distributions to help you, but this Zorin OS help article [External Link] seems easy enough to follow. For Manjaro, the console command "sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300" should autodetect and install an appropriate driver, but that's just what I found with a quick web search. And of course, you should reboot after installing a new graphics driver.

Quoting: DiegoHi all, im new to linux, my games are running well with lutris, proton, wine, nvidia drivers, vulkan utils etc..
One ask, when i do the sudo apt get update and after upgrade, i will have instaled all the new versions of the softwares above in one time?
Hi Diego, and welcome.

Apt will update anything you install from the distribution repositories or ppa archives. So, if you install something with "apt install", you can update them with "apt update" and then "apt upgrade". Although if you're new to this, I suggest using the graphical update manager application of whichever Debian-based distribution you're running.

You'll have to manually update to new major versions of Nvidia drivers, as a normal update will only consider new point releases for stability reasons. (Different major versions are separate packages.) But again, consider using the driver manager GUI if you're on Ubuntu or Mint.

Steam will handle Proton for you as it's not a system package. I think Lutris will also take care of installing Wine and other "runners" as needed, so no need to worry about installing and updating Wine, unless you run it directly. If you do need Wine installed system-wide though, you'd better get it from the official winehq debian/ubuntu package repository as that will let your package manager handle updates.

Quoting: ZombieBarricadesIt may not be the first language of the person you are correcting.
Only a native English speaker can confuse "of" and "have" because they are completely unrelated words; the only thing they have in common if that some people pronounce them the same way I think.
"Would of" definitely does sound similar to the contraction "would've". But yeah, it seems like a common mistake among native speakers only.

Cathedral looks like a pretty good retro action adventure, coming to Linux in October
