Quoting: neolithI wonder what else this might fix. One of the problems I have with the original Gothic is that none of the videos play properly. And that game is from 2001...

Gothic uses Bink video so different problem I'm afraid.

Of course rock n roll can never die (there's more to the picture, than meets the eye!)

Game wishlisted!

Quoting: TimeFreezeJust my luck, bought a game a few hours ago which is now on sale with 74% off.

You can actually refund GOG games [External Link]:

"You may request a refund for a product up to 30 days after purchase, even if it was downloaded, launched, and played."

Quoting: PlintslîchoUnfortunately, Days Gone isn't running well with regular wine (8.18). It's choppy and unplayable (AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT & Ryzen 3700X).

Regular Wine as in no fsync or esync patches?

True! And frogs are always in season and goes with anything! :wink:

This time I bought more games than I care to admit. In my defense I was running out of adventure games and desperately needed to stock up for the winter. Now I have a cozy little nest full of point-and-clickers.

Some of my picks:

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow [External Link] - Linux native, 25% off. The biggest discount for this title so far?

Last Christmas [External Link] - 30% off, the first time I have seen this one on sale.

My bonus pick is the first Frog Detective [External Link] game (30% off, Proton). I only picked it up because it came highly recommended by some Sealand rando (and Lobster Cop wasn't available!)

Quoting: GroganThe surrounding area is rural, with a lot of farms. Some bright minded exec sent shelves and shelves of Farming Simulator boxed games, yet no latest Call of Duty titles and stuff that people actually wanted.

"The game’s creator, Giants Software, estimates that as many as a quarter of its players are connected to farming in some way, and around 8-10% are full-time, professional farmers."

The game is also apparently popular among farmers just for trying out equipment before buying the real thing:

Quoting: PenglingThe Build your own Fall Bundle 2023 is similarly good, as well!

Thanks for the tip! I picked up Catie in MeowmeowLand [External Link] for a single euro!

Big, big mistake in looking up the G29 on the Logitech website. I couldn't help notice that they have a new set of pedals [External Link]. Proper ones with a load cell. Well, guess that's the Christmas present for myself sorted...

The pedals was always the weakest point in the G29 package and even though these are the "pro" stuff there's an adapter available for the G-series. Pretty impressive for an eight year old product range.

Seems like the adapter got a serial connection just like the old pedals so I hope drivers wouldn't be a problem?

Quoting: JpxeI don't have a steering wheel. What's a good option that's not to expensive, maybe second hand?

I would think the Logitech G29 (preferably with the new-lg4ff [External Link] driver.

It's been around since 2015 so should be plenty of second hand units around.
