All over Reddit, all the cool kids are running Linux.

All the cool kids were running Linux 25 years ago, in my very humble and impartial opinion. :grin:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I wonder why they chose the GZDoom engine for this? You know, as opposed to modding Fallout 3, NV or 4 instead.

For fun? For the challenge? Because they didn't want to make just another mod, but something entirely different? That's just three excellent reasons off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others.

Personally, I think this looks like an absolutely brilliant and wonderfully wacky mashup of a classic (Black Isle) Fallout CRPG and a retro FPS. Granted, I'd suck at this game so I doubt I'll ever play it myself, but I know a fellow GOL member who just might stream a playthrough at some point. If he does, I'll definitely catch that.

I don't think I ever meddle with it myself but NVIDIA's "Resizable BAR" and AMD's "SAM"(Smart Access Memory) on AMD side should be a toggle in bios. It's all a feature of the PCIe standard, so try searching somewhere inside PCI settings.

Motherboard vendors handle this differently as usual, but as for ASUS, it's actually called Resizable BAR in the BIOS (UEFI) even on my all-AMD system, and the setting is right at the top of the "EZ Mode" dashboard.

Congratulations GOL, and thank you Liam (and contributors) for all you do.

And we have no plans to use any AI generation for anything. It's all hand-crafted spelling errors and terrible grammar here.

Good! Resist the enshittification!

Oh, and for those who liked it, our PC Info system is coming back. Stay tuned, it needs some work though to modernise it and fix a lot of issues it had in the background.

:heart:

An excellent bundle for any penguin-shaped pointing and clicking enthusiast. I bought it for The Will of Arthur Flabbington with a couple of the Nobodies games for filler. If I didn't already own them, I'd have bought the Darkside Detective 1+2, Mutazione and the Broken Sword pack as well. All good fun and all native Linux.

I wonder if the "Gone Fishing" sign on the wall is a reference to the classic Amiga / Atari ST game "Gone Fish'n" with pretty much the same basic template. Probably not, but I kinda hope it is.

aaaaand it's patched...
(on Arch, btw)

You don't have to run bleeding edge to get security updates. Even Ubuntu LTS (and Mint) had updates with the CVE fixes available yesterday. :wink:

I had both an Atari ST and an Amiga 1020

Pointless nitpick: The Amiga 1020 is a floppy drive, not a computer. :wink: Did you mean the Amiga 1200 with its fancy AGA graphics?

I don't remember having worse controls in Another World on my Amiga 500 than on my friend's Atari ST. We both preferred playing the game on my Amiga due to the prettier visuals.

Also I've never really got into Monkey Island because I was stuck right away, and watching speed runs and explanations about the mechanics told me I couldn't have solved by myself anyway...

I don't remember Monkey Island being any harder than DOTT. I love both games equally. :D

There's another adventure game I loved, Simon the Sorcerer, that's beside DOTT my greatest adventure game love. Now I want to pick that up again haha.

A classic to be sure! You can find the "25th Anniversary Editions" of both Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2 on Steam and GOG. There's also Simon the Sorcerer 3D, which I never played, and apparently a new prequel game in the works.

Of course, if you've still got original copies of any of these games somewhere, you can play them using ScummVM.

The first game wasn't bad. A bit of relatively casual fun. And surprisingly addictive.

This sequel is already on my wishlist.
