Interesting conversation here with icculus trying to figure out if he can release the source for the modern Linux port:

"Okay, I'll email Hervé later today and see if he'll let me release my changes. It couldn't hurt to ask, right?"

From https://github.com/kevinbentley/Descent3/issues/9

Fingers crossed 🤞

Quoting: NathanaelKStottlemyerI think those are game engine remasters, while this one is the actual game. I could be mistaken though.

They are based on the original source code release (not FLOSS sadly):

Quoting: PenglingSee also, "twunt", which Spider also picked up from me and seemed most amused by.

Oh dear, a bit more on the vulgar side that one, but I'll stick it in the old vocab for later use!

Actually two of the best point and clickers I've played recently have been of the horror variety, The Excavation of Hobbs Barrow and Nightmare Frames.

Haven't had time to try this one yet, but brownie points to the devs for making a demo. Actually a double serving as they seem to have demos for most (all?) of their games!

Quoting: Luke_NukemAnd fuck the "boomer <genre>" term.

As an alternative I have been workshoping the term greatest generation racer. It polls very well with early gen-x who are a bit too close to boomer for their own comfort!

Quoting: artixbtwBoooo. They're addressing Linux issues.

Can't be that much of a surprise? I mean it is a Discord overlay specifically for Linux?

Support seems to be limited to "RGB capable LED devices in /sys/class/leds/; [...] provided it has .../multi_intensity" which I guess rules out anything needing OpenRGB to function?

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderOh nice..... I didnt know about that one...... Thanks..... Wishlisted........

They are apprently waiting for approval, and I assume, funding from Sega. I hope that happens. My wishlist is already full of games with no release in sight or languishing forever in EA...

Quoting: dziadulewiczSo this is definitely not for a record breaking young Kalle Rovanpera already a two time World Rally Champion.

I don't think #69 is above a bit of retro gaming. I seem to recall him playing Richard Burns Rally on Twitch?
