Quoting: Liam DaweAdtraction is on the default filter lists of common adblockers like uBlock Origin.Quoting: damarrinWhen I click on "The Wheel of Time" link FF warns me of a potential security threat listing a adtraction domain. Not cool.Sounds like a plugin doing that? Get no issues here.

Quoting: KohlyKohlIt won't be the same unless I have to swap floppy disksThat's really not something I'm nostalgic for. Twelve floppies for a damn adventure game. I can still almost feel the frustration of finding out disk 10 of my copy of MI2 had multiple errors...

Quoting: constHeh. That would be nice, but I doubt it. Unless Disney/Lucas gets a say, Gilbert is likely to bake his own engine, or rather base the engine on what he created for Thimbleweed Park. I'm basing this on the following excerpt from the Thimbleweed Park blog:Quoting: tuubiIf Linux support is announced, this will be at the top of my wishlist immediately.They should develop it directly in ScummVM!
Quoting: Ron GilbertLots of great choices, but deep down (if I'm honest with myself), I'm a game engine snob. Whenever I use an engine, I keep wanting to modify it and hack into it to do what I need. I guess I've found over the years that it's a lot easier (and less stressful) for me if I just create my own.

Quoting: starpolloBold move from the old snap advocate! He must have gotten real sick of the cool-aid I guess?Or maybe he was just doing his job as a Canonical employee.

EDIT: Never mind. Should have watched the trailer first. Nice to see that Dominic Armato is back as the voice of Guybrush.
I wonder if our hero has done the Harry Potter thing and aged with his fans. Would be nice to see how he's coping with early middle age. :grin:
Quoting: frykBut what I never want to go back to, is having to read all that conversation on screen. Voice-Over please :-)All of the later Lucasarts adventures had voice acting, including Curse of Monkey Island (MI3). So do the third party HD remakes of 1 and 2. Would be odd if a new Monkey Island game didn't.

The pixel art is lovely. Particularly in the battle scenes.

Quoting: EikeIt's a British vs. American English thing.Quoting: fnordianslipCould do with an English translation. I was surprised to learn that the in game character is actually wearing pants when he gets out of bed and actually needs to find his trousers."Pants" matches alright what I get to see here - stuff you can wear outside without being frowned upon:

Lutris version 0.5.10 brings improved Steam Deck support but no Flatpak yet

I don't think Minigalaxy can handle patches yet. In fact, it simply fails to update or install some games lately. I guess I'll give Lutris a try as soon as this new version hits the PPA.
- Add support for downloading patches and DLC for GOG games

EDIT: Ha, Liam might want to scroll down to the Press Quotes section. They were quick. :wink:

Quoting: Mountain ManSo is this just a graphics overhaul of Portal 2, or is it going to be an entirely new game?According to the tagline on their site [External Link], it's "A new community-made Portal game, in tribute to Valve's iconic series".

Syncthing is a great way to transfer files from PC to Steam Deck

Quoting: BTREI blame Reddit.Quoting: rustybroomhandleYes, people's favourite reason to visit a web site is so that the site owner can speak to them like he thinks they're assholes. You falsely assume people read every word you write. In this case why would someone who already knows how to use syncthing do that?It seems strange to me to come to a site, not read a short article, ask a question that was covered explicitly by aforementioned article, and then get offended that you're referred to the article for the answer and claim that there should be no expectation that someone reads the entire article. A "whoops, sorry, didn't see that somehow" seems more sensible instead of doubling down on silly outrage.
