Quoting: mos

Quoting: amataiYou can play the original game with GemRB

And probably get yourself a vastly inferior experience (judging by lately trying IWD2 with gemrb; yes I do know, but still).
Having to bother with installing widescreen and other weidu stuff and generally tinker with a 20 yo release and still not to make it work remotely as smooth as EEs is somewhat.. discouraging.

BG is not IWD. I had taken less than 10 minutes compiling and configuring stuff then I have starded playing (I used the DVD version of BG) with fullscreen and stuff. There is not so much improvement from EE beside multiplayer. It's like having one or two mods defaut in the base game. (I have still bought it to play multi with friends)

Quoting: kaimanI'd buy those games on the spot if only they were compatible with the original save games. Even though I've spent countless hours on BG1 and BG2, I never actually finished either of them. But I still have save data from some old backups dating back to 1999 and 2003 respectively. If I could pop those into the new edition instead of having to dig out the old CDs and fiddle around to get the games installed and running eventually I would have done so for quite a while now.

But the prospect of starting anew is somewhat discouraging. I had finished Planescape: Torment back in the day, so it was less of an issue to revisit that in form of the EE, and I loved it! But with Baldur's Gate I really don't see this happening any time soon.

You can play the original game with GemRB. I have done that myself to finish my run before doing a new run in EE.

Some itch.io games from the big bundle. I may buy a controller for them. Maybe the switch one.

Out of the depth but I don't understand much. It commes out of early access yesterday or something like that so I decided to give it a try.

Amoung Us (Proton) with friends. I don't think that the game deserve that much attention, but, hey, I can't keep relationship with 9 friend that I were slowly loosing so that's nice I guess

Technology is never neutral. We should think about what usage it will bring and I highly doubt it will be easier donation for open source project (beside there are already 1 bilions and half competing standard on that)

Maybe this make in-game purchase easier to implement?
Hardly a good then.

How does web monetization works?
Is it relevant in a world were game developers can monetize their games by selling them? Which is the best kind of monetization.

Has some of these game already been reviewed on Gaming on Linux? That would be cool to centralize links from all these reviews.
