Quoting: pleasereadthemanualMost macOS users are using CrossOver or Whisky, I gather.

I suppose if I were a MacOS user I, too, might be driven to Whisky. :grin:

Quoting: GuestThis is not based on the usual D&D ruleset, but on Warhammer (modified) ruleset, which is refreshing (and a lot simpler than the previous games imo.) It is also turn based, which is a nice change (I hated the RTWP system).

I also prefer turn-based; seeing it with that turn-based look was one of the things that made me think it was interesting.
I played a campaign of the Warhammer (not 40k) roleplaying game once. It had some interesting concepts but was a bit bare-bones, at least at the time. But that was many many years ago so any present day Warhammer RPG is probably completely different.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHuh. Never heard of it. Looks interesting.

It's from the same company that made the Pathfinder series and it's based off of one of the D&D rule set of books. The Pathfinder series of games are usually on sale often if you're ever interested.

What I've heard about Pathfinder is that it's like slightly better D&D. Which is nice and all, but really I'm a GURPS man. That class-and-level-based stuff is so limiting, at least for tabletop play. Could be fine for a computer game though.

They kind of sound almost like they haven't even heard of Proton. And I mean, with ignorance levels like that it's maybe not a big surprise if they're not capable of maintaining ports.

I'm not sure it's quite my kind of game, but the trailer really gives a feeling of possibilities--you have movement by running around, bouncing real high, sailing, swimming, zorping yourself into an animal's body and running around as the animal, maybe more? Plus you're some kind of spell singer.

Who puts a little picture of themselves on the upper left corner of their game trailer? Is that normal and I just missed it, or is this guy kind of a narcissist?

Wow, they really decided to turn the adorable up to 11 on this one.

Quoting: elmapulthere are tons of open source projects that already deliver a lot of things...
and tons of kickstarter projects with broken promisses...

yet people only fund the second

Makes me think . . . there's nothing necessarily stopping open source projects from doing kickstarters to get a bit of funding. I mean sure, the open source thing already exists in some form, and you can probably already get it for free, but the point of the kickstarter is for the new features you're promising to come into existence, and just like with a normal kickstarter nobody will get them if someone doesn't pay for them (with either money or time). You could do the thing, have some feature goals, give people some nice exclusive things for different backer levels, all the usual schtick should work fine.

I don't see the applicability of a specialized "AI" doohickey to general purpose computing. How is this going to help me watch or even process video, or play games, or do a spreadsheet, or browse the web? And if it isn't, why is it a selling point that I have to pay for it?

But it's not like I know anything; I didn't know there would be a point to specialized hardware bits even for doing actual AI stuff.
