Great game! :woot: Someday I'll beat it. Or not, as this is the kind of game that gets harder and harder to do well as you age and your reflection time goes down. Oh well... :huh:

Honestly, Nightdive should focus on remastering other classic games. Spending time and resources on a recently re-released title isn't wise and efficient. But maybe this odd decision is related to the recent Atari buyout, who knows...

Games I'm playing at the moment:
* Command Deck [External Link] (Slay the Spire in space)
* Elsewhere [External Link] (Something like Minecraft with mods baked in)
* Elemental: Reforged [External Link] (4X fantasy game by Stardock)
* The Karters 2: Turbo Charged [External Link] (game inspired by Crash Team Racing and with hundreds of mods)

Great news! The switch to Qt will make it look much better if you use custom themes like I do. EasyEffects always looked out of place on my system, since it was built on GTK 4. Not anymore. Updating now! :woot:
Luanti (formerly Minetest) joins up with Open Collective Europe for funding

TL;DR: I think you should give VoxeLibre a try [External Link]. If that's not your cup of tea, there are other games that run under Luanti - you can find them here [External Link]. And there's also Elsewhere , which just got released on Steam recently [External Link]. I'm having a great time with that one too! It's different enough from VoxeLibre, so playing one doesn't invalidate the other. :happy:

May I ask, does anyone around here play this game?I play VoxeLibre casually on single player. It's ok for me and I have fun with it, but I'm far from being experienced in Minecraft - in fact I barely played Minecraft before because it gives me motion sickness (and that isn't the case with VoxeLibre under Luanti for some reason). The only thing I can say for sure (from my experience) is that crafting is different on VoxeLibre and it seems that there are much more mobs at night when compared to Minecraft. No big deal for me, as I prefer playing VoxeLibre with the damage turned off (so it's kind of similar to Minecraft's Peaceful Mode because mobs don't attack you).

Fantastic game! It's very different from the usual kart racers (mechanics-wise), but after getting used to the controls it's an enjoyable experience with tons of content.

Note that this game isn't officially supported on Windows 10 [External Link]. How the tides have turned! :tongue:

KDE Plasma is great! I wish we still had a KDE version of Linux Mint. I understand their reason to let it die back then (focus on one toolkit [GTK] is easier), though. With how increasingly popular Linux is getting after years of Valve efforts in the gaming department + the constant worsening of Windows, at this point the Mint team would be printing money if they had a KDE flavor.
