Looks really good. I'm eager for some gameplay footage now. If it turns out to be an actual (read somewhat traditional) adventure game and not just another cinematic choose-your-own-adventure, I'm sold.

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: PixelPiI also love Liam's Linux bias. :)

I'm a little confused on what you mean here?

The day you lose that Linux bias I'm outta here. What is this, gamingonwhatever.com? :P

Already on my wishlist since yesterday. :)

Quoting: aaronfrankeGOG is so hypocritical. Portray themselves as the platform of freedom, then don't support the platform of freedom...

I've never seen them speak against proprietary operating systems, only DRM. I don't see the hypocrisy.

GOG does deserve criticism for their lack of effort on the promised Linux port of Galaxy though. This has definitely lessened my enthusiasm towards their store.

Quoting: g000hI did spot Enclave [External Link] at 80% discount right now (which I already own), and note that it did recently get a Linux port.

Thanks for the tip. Enclave seems like the kind of low-effort distraction I need right now and I've sold a couple of € worth of trading cards so why not. I bought the lowest tier of the bundle as well for Oh...Sir. Don't know if I'll bother with Pony Island after watching Samsai's playthrough in the Friday stream.

Portal 3 is the one I'd most want to see, although HL3 would be nice as well. None of their multiplayer or free to play stuff interests me in the slightest, but I get that these bring in the big money for relatively little investment.

I've played quite a bit of this game with my wife, though less now that there's seemingly no major story content left for us to see. We've often talked about how nice it would be if one of us could take care of the farm while the other goes spelunking or something. That would make a lot of sense. But we would also want to play locally in split screen, and that doesn't seem to be in the plans...

All in all doesn't seem like this'll provide a reason for us to continue the game. We need to find something else to play together. Maybe Slime Rancher for more semi-casual farming? :)

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI have a doubt.
If a game use OpenGL 4.5 and the Specs list of the GPU (GTx 750ti, for example) said OpenGL 4.4 , will the game run anyway or will have performance issues?

For example, in Windows, DX11 games can not run on an old DX10 card.

There are two explanations for that 4.4 in the spec: Either NVIDIA doesn't update the spec every time a new OpenGL version is released (very likely), or the driver might emulate some features in software for the oldest hardware, but it's hard to say how much this would affect performance in the real world. According to NVIDIA's announcement [External Link] seemingly all of their desktop chips from the 400 series onwards get OpenGL 4.6 support, so I think you're safe.

The action sequences haven't really aged poorly. They were simply never very good.

Anyway, thanks for this excellent article about an excellent game.

Quoting: KuduzkehpanI'd argue there is no operating system that is any better.

Both sentences are same and false.

No, they are not. Operating systems are not the same as the idealistic systems you attach to them. You live in a monochrome fairytale world of absolutes.

Quoting: KuduzkehpanGnu/linux and its ecosystem are opposite of windows and its ecosystem.

Another overstatement. They're hardly opposites. Very different though.

Quoting: KuduzkehpanAlso communism and its ecosystem are opposite of capitalism and its ecosystem.

This doesn't prove that one is perfect and one is as as far from it as possible. The most prosperous (and I mean prosperous as in most stable and least unhappy) nations today seem to be ones practicing something between these extremes. In fact no nation has ever implemented pure communism or pure capitalism thus far, and I imagine it would be impossible to do so.

Quoting: KuduzkehpanAnd yes there is a good world we can create where privacy humanity and freedom(not freedom of 'you can buy any rights as you can afford) exist.

I believe we should strive to achieve something better as well, and be vocal about the injustices we see affecting not only us, but anyone and everyone.

Quoting: KuduzkehpanAnd thus who dont understands economics i recommend to read Das Capital (Karl Heinrich MARX)

Marx was a dreamer and an idealist. An intelligent and well read one, but a dreamer no less. But so were the fathers of capitalism and the free markets. I agree that an ideal society takes care of its every member and happiness should be the only measure of success, not something based on wealth. Communism doesn't solve that problem. It's an economic model that fails at the human scale, just like any other in existence today.

Can we get back on topic now? If you want to talk politics, we should probably take it to the forums. Personally I'm already bored with the subject.
