^ Censorship in what way? There's nsfw stuff everywhere if that's what you mean. If you mean something else, like censoring language, I'm not sure. I don't use it much since mods on linux can often be too much of a pain. Which is why I'd love for this to be open to more games!

Man that sucks. Makes me glad I upgraded my lcd->oled when I did. And it only cost me a couple hundred bucks!

@lib-inst "waylands sucks and it will never be the future. people have been saying that forever and it still isnt."

LOL.... Reality sucks right?

No matter what people want to think because they're still so stuck in the past, wayland definitely 100% is the future, and guess what, you don't need "feelings" and "thoughts" about anything whatsoever. Reality is reality. All the major distros are going to a wayland-only future.

If you don't like it ... hate it for ya.

I love the progress. Sad to think though that we're still SOOOOOO far off of it working with every game. Which is where it needs to be for mass adoption. For instance, I game all the time on linux, but have no interest in it, just because it only supports three games I don't play.

Wow, what a wonderful article, thank you for going so in depth Liam! This is so the type of game I wish I had time for (I don't) but will follow along and live vicariously through all you all who get into it :)

^ Prey is probably up there in my top 20 games of all time. It was just SO SO SO SOOOOOO good. I can still vividly remember the station, the big huge monster scaring the absolute SHIT out of me that first time, reading all the little notes on the mimics, etc... Just masterfully done.

Ambrosia feels very different. Still great! But just different. It's a lot about the comfy feeling of powerwashing goop off of stuff + cool scifi setting + figuring out what happened to the station (so that's the part that's probably most like Prey). But the entire demo is pretty much powerwash goop, collect samples, read interesting lore, try to piece together what happened. There's no combat at all that I saw. (I quit after the first bit, so maybe there is after that? I had seen enough to know I wishlisted it!)

Wartales started out awesome for me. I love turn based rpgs. And the overworld is SOOOO well done with the unique graphical style, and exploration, etc...

What killed it for me was the insane difficulty + permadeath of squadmates. It took me SOOOO long to get a good squad built up, like in terms of real life hours spent, and then the game would hit you with scenarios where it's pretty much impossible not to lose a squadmate, which in terms of "winning" is still totally fine. BUT that person is gone forever, and often times was important, so now I'd have to go spend another forever finding and recruiting a decent replacement with the right perks, etc... To me it just felt like a massive FU to the respect of a gamers time investment. For a while I tried to play the scenarios with no deaths at all, but the frustration levels got so high I just gave up entirely.
