It's been a while since I've played an AGS game, and it seems like the engine has improved considerably over the last couple of years? Fullscreen seems to just work with sensible resolution, Alt+Tab works, and Steam achievements aren't as hit and miss as I remember them being.
I enjoyed the game a lot, and it was nice to finally be able to complete the Blackwell saga.

Great to see them giving their back catalogue some Linux love. I bought this in addition to Blackwell Epiphany just before the weekend, thanks to the new ports, and I enjoyed playing through Epiphany a lot. I realize this one isn't really my cup of tea, after playing about an hour of it, since I don't care much for choices in adventure games, but I'm enjoying it so far, nevertheless.

Showing your age (and possibly your Britishness) there! :grin:

Genuinely not sure if "you wouldn't steal a car" was shown outside of British cinemas?

Edit - so, uh, it wasn't shown on cinemas, it was DVDs mainly that featured this tripe. Early 2000's though, so at least I had that right.

I remember this from DVDs in Norway too. Futurama also made a fun spoof of the campaign:

Looks like it also respects operating system preferences now, which makes it a lot more usable! :happy:

I lost interest in Humble Bundle a long time ago, so it doesn't make much of a difference to me. Otherwise, this would definitely have been the last straw.

They also, again, don't seem to respect your operating system preferences as it just shows anything.

Considering how much time and money they've invested in SteamOS and the Steam Deck, it baffles me that this is still an issue. :huh:

Same here, once the Linux version is available.

Quoting: PhiladelphusThat sure was a trailer, all right.

More like a teaser, I think. I quite liked the first game, so I'm going to buy this one too.

That makes a bit more sense! I was just confused, since to a person like me, with no idea about the original game, it gave me zero information as to what this game might be like or whether I might want to play it.

That's understandable. After a bit of digging, I found this trailer, which should give you a better idea of what the game is about:

Quoting: psy-qIsn't "NUC" an Intel-specific marketing name (Next Unit of Computing), nothing to apply to AMD-based hardware? So it's now a proprietary eponym like Band-Aid, Kleenex, Hoover etc.! 🤔

Intel must be proud, especially since they didn't even pioneer the concept 😛

Yes, it is. It's more catchy than the "proper" term barebone PC though, which is probably why it's being used to describe non-NUC barebone PCs as well.
