Tabletop Simulator Review - My Thoughts On Rolling Digital Dice

I thought the Pokemon card mod was pretty cool. Still, after 16 years I have no idea how to actually play the card game (how many people really did?).

This would be good for stuff like 2D platformers, the kind of stuff I don't bother with nowadays with all the games around, but would certainly play them on the go!

ARK: Survival Evolved Linux Release Delayed For The End Of June

Quoting: Segata Sanshiro@ElectricPrism - what kind of framerates are you getting at what settings?
I get 26 - 36 FPS outdoors on Epic. I get 45 FPS indoors on Epic. A average of 30 FPS outside.

I would assume that it should do at least high on a GTX 960, it seems that motion blur helps smooth the millions of vertexes rendered on the grass, trees, etc...

Any other questions?
Thanks! It seems to have improved a lot then, looks like I could probable get 30fps on high. At this stage in development, I would consider that more than acceptable really, but will hopefully continue to get better :).

I suspect that it will actually run better on Linux than on Windows
I have serious doubts about that. There's been a lot of cases of games running faster on OpenGL, but I imagine most of the optimisation work in this case will be put into the Windows build. I do really hope you're right though :)

@ElectricPrism - what kind of framerates are you getting at what settings? I have a GTX 960 and want to run it on at least high settings because the game looks so pretty (I'd be happy with 30fps+) but have a feeling it's still going to be a while until that happens... might be even worse with OpenGL.

Quoting: GuestIts well worth it, maybe they will add the extinct Megapenguin?

I've been to the museum where the mega-penguin is housed. There's also a mega sloth :D

Yeah, I was a bit gutted when they delayed this, but luckily Dreamfall Chapters book 3 released on the same day, so I can enjoy another very poorly optimised low-fps game instead!

This is a long time coming, but good news nonetheless.

The Funding Crowd: Another Year In Review

I have a lot of these games, and half I didn't realise were Kickstarted.

BOUT2 steals the show on this list in my humble opinion, easily the best point-and-click of the last few years (though closely tied with a few of its German counterparts). I knew that one was Kickstarted though :)

Quoting: SamsaiI'll probably download all the pony mods and torment the viewers on next week's livestream.
Shouldn't you be off getting drunk on a lake for the solstice right now? :P

I always assumed it had workshop support anyway... Goes to show how much I use mods nowadays :P
