Adventure gamers! Don't miss Season of the Warlock [External Link]. Proton demo only, but the full game should (hopefully) be native.

Quoting: scratchi3 GOG give aways in the last 5 days...which were reported here at least, it's the only way I ever find out about them.

I don't think Liam ever misses a native give-away. For all others I follow this thread [External Link]. It's one of my forevertabs.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI remember one of my first times shopping alone, I actually stole a sausage.
Got it from the butcher (but you payed at the cash register) and some other stuff, then went on to pay, but noticed I didn't have enough money.
Since I couldn't exactly "put it back", I decided to store the sausage in my pants and just paid for the other stuff.

As soon as you drag and dropped the sausage I bet the narrator went "Bet you can't fit that thing into your pants. Guess I was wrong; it does fit. There must be plenty of spare room in there." :grin:

The dark mode for the menu is nice. Still some stages are even brighter than the menu. The Norway snow stages driven in fog actually doubles as cheap Lasik if you press your eyeballs to the screen!

Anyhow, now we wait for Kenya, in-game and IRL!

Quoting: whizseI tried Death Trash, but wasn't immediately hooked. I found the scenery and colour scheme too drab. Gameplay wise there's a focus on combat and not so much on quests and dialogue. Mind, that's just first impressions from 30 minutes or so of gameplay...

Turns out I was dead wrong about Death Trash. Played for another hour and loved it!

Still not too fond of the colour arrangement. Too much brown. Like Quake 2 mixed with early Ubuntu. However, the protagonist has the ability to regurgitate on demand so I can at least brighten up the landscape with colourful spots here and there!

The rest of the evening was spent tinkering with the WRC 10 demo in Proton. I got it from immediate error message, to black screen followed by an error message, hurrah! I guess among other things the DX12 support in Proton needs to improve.

(Ironically it doesn't sound as any of the WRC titles are all that good, but it is where all the esports happen so I would love to see it working).

Overall, I'm glad Valve is bringing demos back. But please, keep them in place after the festival is over. There's no way I have time to try out even half the titles that catch my fancy!

So $2.50 for the game, I learn to pick locks, and afterwards I never have to pay for anything ever again? Pretty sweet deal!

Eh, I bet it's riddled with bugs. I mean, it comes with a built in flyswatter...

Quoting: leillo1975Yo can take a look how runs on Linux three months ago on a testing build in this video (in spanish):

Now the game is even better than in this video, and more things are being added.

Or, you know, try the demo! :happy:

Quoting: scaineLike, Dpanter mentioned in Discord recently that GOG just released Voodoo Kid [GOG [External Link]] which is Windows only. So what's the problem? Well, it uses BoxedWine to run. BoxedWine [External Link] is a Linux emulator which runs a pre-packaged wine version. So now you have a Windows executable, running a Linux emulator, calling Wine, to run a Windows executable. And they released this marvel... only for Windows. <sigh>

They're not even trying anymore.

To paraphrase Marvin the Paranoid Android, "It gives me a headache just trying to think down to that level".

Though it is kind of interesting to see Wine becoming a better Windows than Windows.
