Sounds like the plot might take a little bit of inspiration from the Discworld book Mort. Not a bad idea at all, so on the wishlist it goes!

2TB, nice! That means I can store eight Call of Duties!

Tea drinkers and hell-raisers!

The VR stuff... Deckard does sound promising. At least if Valve have learned from the Deck and (what not to do) with the Index. Let's hope GoL is on the shortlist for a unit at release time!

The combat, especially melee, felt quite poor and hard to judge when you're going to actually hit something.

The original System Shock have the same problem. Not a feature I personally would preserve but I don't work at Nightdive...

I tried out COVEN [External Link]. At first I was all "Another Blood Clone? Witch please..." but it was alright. Not as big budget as Dusk perhaps but still fun. You get to eat corpses (also cheese!), have a lantern hanging from your head?, and there is bullet-time!

Linux native and Deck-ready.

Quoting: SalvatosTrivia: The game is made by Simon "Gee" Giraudot, a comic book artist frequently featured by Framasoft, a French FOSS NGO (and probably others) :)
I immediately recognized his style from the video’s thumbnail (the eyes, mainly).

Thank you so much for pointing that out!

There was something very familiar with the style, yes, the eyes! They have that unmistakable Sonic/goggles for eyes- look but I simple couldn't figure out where I had seen it before!

Wishlisted the game!

Quoting: fearnflavioAt least it doesn't take 2 min to open 😅

I know you need to play nice with Epic and all that, but let's not sugarcoat things, 2m19.5s here (it's slightly faster now that I moved it to the nvme drive). :tongue:

Quoting: elmapuleven purchasing used games seems more usefull to me, at least you are giving money to an consumer that might use it to purchase another new game that is still being produced.

Too risky! They might use that money for drugs, or worse, mobile games with ads and micro-transactions!

Quoting: lah7There is a mysterious new "Game Transfer over Local Network" option in Big Picture's Download Settings. It doesn't save the setting, so I guess that's not supposed to be there - but will look forward to whenever that lands!

Probably this?
