Seems interesting. The trailer reminds me of Invisible, Inc., although it doesn't seem to include any actual gameplay, just the sort of staging stuff, so it could actually be totally different.

So like, if I take over the whole place can I be the Lord of the Rings?

Oh, for crying out loud. This is how Paradox does things and this argument has been hashed out dozens of times. Isn't it about time people bloody got used to it?

Yeah, I grow tired of this too but we do have to remember we have thousands of users registered. Most people don't look at older articles.

You're right, my apologies. I will endeavour to be more civil about it.

To be honest I don't really want to play a corporation. I just want them to exist so I can go hunting. Plus the City World, Caravaneers and more megastructures look nice.

This looks like an interesting one. With my current cash flow might wait for a sale, but I think it's definitely on my list.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelHaving completed the campaign with 90 hours on the clock in the Linux beta I can happily declare the singleplayer part well worth playing.
Only gamestoping technical issue I came across is that LC_ALL=C %command% in the launch options is required for none US players.
A bit like the Shadowrun titles this game does a lot of things wrong but for some reason it's still incredibly fun to play.<3

That's pretty much how I feel about the Shadowrun paper & pencil roleplaying game. But for the computer games I'm not really a seasoned enough gamer to make that critique; what do they do wrong?

Quoting: chancho_zombieMy favourite principle of common law is Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad coelum et ad inferos which translates to "whoever's is the soil, it is theirs all the way to Heaven and all the way to Hell"

bluntly putting it: If you f**ck with land property we will drink your blood and take your soul.

I'm pretty sure the principle refers to the land owner's rights to the air above and the ground below their plot. I like your dramatic interpretation though. :)

Of course many other laws do not agree with that principle of common law. I'm pretty sure that in Canada, mineral rights are/can be separated from general land ownership, even though we are a country which has sort of inherited the British common law. And I'm pretty sure most jurisdictions do not allow most private property owners to stop planes from overflying their property; things would be tough for the airline industry otherwise.

That was a pretty handsome apology. There are apologies where the person is totally trying to either duck responsibility or not actually admit it was a wrong thing to do. Like there's those "I apologize if anyone was offended" type ones (subtext being they shouldn't have been offended but I'm saying something so my critics will shut up), or the classic cheating evangelical "I strayed" (so like, it's not that I chose to do anything wrong, I was just walking along, took the wrong fork in the path by accident and next thing you know I'm screwing someone who isn't my wife, it could happen to anybody). My recent favourite is "That's not who I am" (Really? Who the hell are you then, and could you bring in the person who it is and have them apologize?).

This was not that kind of apology; no ducking, no weaseling. I appreciate that.

Quoting: skinnyrafHave we leapfrogged the year of Linux on the desktop and jumped straight into the year of Linux VR?

Well Linux-native VR titles (both OpenGL and Vulkan) worked for quite some time, we even maintain a list here: https://gitlab.com/yaomtc/VR-on-Linux [External Link]

Now, Windows VR games are another story. So far, these are running fine for me (or have been a week ago):
- Beat Saber (is on the official Proton compatibility list)
- Star Trek: Bridge Crew
- Star Wars Droid Repair Bay
- Far Space VR
- Budget Cuts

Where I work, I really wish Budget Cuts wouldn't run.
