Quoting: dibzThese games are great. If anyone is considering this, doesn't already own them, and likes old-school point and click adventure games do yourself a favor and get these. It's downright criminal how cheap the bundle is for what you're getting!

To note, not only do they have native linux versions, but WadjetEye hired the dev that did the linux ports in a post-proton world where he absolutely did not need to do that.

To note #2, ScummVM also semi-recently added the AGS interpreter -- which is what these games are made in -- to ScummVM and you can play most if not all of these games in ScummVM if you'd rather for some reason.

Primordia and Gemini Rue are some of my personal favorites for this type of game, and I pretty much always recommend them whenever Point and Clicks come up.

+1 to what the hyperkinetic three-foot lagomorph wrote above ⇧

The only thing to not like about this bundle is that I already own all these except Technobabylon...

After all these years, still Counter-Strike?

CS:GO is 10+ years old, the original 20+. Time to try something new?

Quoting: MrowlJust wait for the Steam Controller 2, imo. Would also be cool if Valve let us use our Decks as a controller, somehow, like a Wii U GamePad for our PC.

I would be surprised if someone had not already trie this. Doing a quick WiFi gamepad (read input events on the deck, send it off with UDP, play the events on a uinput device on the PC) seems like a 30 minute project.

If latency is an issue another alternative is Bluetooth:

(That's for a software keyboard/mouse but it should be similar for a gamepad)

A third option might be to use the Deck as wired USB gamepad. But it depends on if the Deck hardware supports USB Device Controller (UDC):

Quoting: BumadarI soooooo want this to be good, be like the original, please please please.

But I guess it can probably never compete with that first time experience no matter how hard they try, so i should try to remain neutral and open minded:)

Look at you hacker.....

The original System Shock is fantastic! I still vividly recall the first time I played it.

Granted, it was only a couple of weeks ago.... :whistle:

Quoting: JahimselfAre the performance good? I mean do you need powerfull hardware to run games?

It's quite CPU heavy, 6+ cores are recommended.

Yeah, ironically there's actually less DRM on the Epic store then there is on Steam.

I haven't actually bought anything on Epic yet, but most of the giveaway games I have been interested in runs fine in Wine/Proton without the store client running.

Wishes are boring. I'm a bit psychic, so here are some predictions instead:

• Elon Musk tires of the slow development pace of Proton and tries to buy Valve
• A game is released that uses nothing but emojis as a title causing several storefronts to crash
• GOG changes name to OGO - Old Games Outlet

Quoting: Arcadius-8606This trend in the Linux gaming space is extremely off putting. Makes me stay further away for things like Steam since it seems to be causing mental disorders. Any store that sell linux games without a client can get my coin.

I don't think it's the subject matter. We're always going to have discussions like these. Do you know what the collective noun for a group of Linux users is? It is an argument of Linux users.
