Quoting: GuestI finally got around to playing Deponia: The Complete journey - it's so funny and the puzzles aren't stupid or overly complicated - I managed to finish the first game without watching tutorials.

It really is something of a gem, isn't it? We (my daughter and I) have probably played it through three times now and we laugh all the way through every time. When you consider that it wasn't even written in English and this is a translation, it's pretty incredible!

After finally picking it up on sale, I've been playing through Streets of Rage 4. It's light, fun and nostalgic with enough new little elements to keep me interested. My only concern is that SteamDB seems to suggest that the DLC will be Windows only...

[off topic]Is it even possible to talk about modern transport vehicules and infrastructure in latin ? :dizzy:
[/off topic]

Whyever not? Surely it is the same for any other language as new words are created? You could say 'secum communicandi' instead of Internet, but most other languages just used the word, "Internet," anyway. Perhaps, in the realms of openTTD 'celeriter iter sinum currus' might be used to describe a mass-transit highway, if you didn't just want to keep 'motorway' or 'highway'

Quoting: CyrilNice! I have an old controller from Guitar Hero 2 PS2, with an USB/PS2 adapter it works great. And Clone Hero is pretty cool, as I can play all the GH songs, and more, without swapping the DVDs, restart the console etc.
However, it seems Clone Hero hasn't be updated since last year... too bad it's not open source too.

What happened to Frets on Fire? That was gpl, I think, and I imagine that the input driver would still work there?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's cool, but at that point why "replace"? Why not just have a desktop computer?

Perhaps you have more than one desk that you work at, or no regular desk.

Something like this would be perfect for my wife's work machine. She is an artist and does a lot of graphic design for proofs/mockups of crafted products. While, during the day, she works at a desk, in the late afternoons and evenings, she works from the sofa.

Quoting: medI see that unfortunately it comes with an nvidia GPU. I understand this works for some, but it is a no-go for me. Is there any good quality offering of a pure AMD gaming laptop?

Quoting: setzer22AMD CPU but no option without Nvidia... Makes me sad :(

I've been out of the GPU-loop for about five years now, but are Linux AMD drivers good enough for gaming now? This was always a problem before?

That said, I am very excited about this company.

Quoting: dibzWhile this doesn't work for me, I'm glad it exists. The retroarch guys definitely follow a particular mindset, while I won't call it wrong-headed since everyone has their own opinions, it doesn't mesh well with me. On several occasions I've tried to properly set up six+ button controllers, like a real sega saturn pad, and figuring I must be doing it wrong for it to be so difficult I googled it... and after reading similar opinions and what the retroarch people thought of them, I just use something else.

Emulation used to be a really active thing on Linux, but recently it seems that the only option, particularly for Sega games, is RetroArch. I had the same problem (and similar issues mapping out a Logitec P2600 as an N64 pad) and in the end, I gave up.

I'm thinking of getting one of these, or the Pulse 15, for my wife as a work machine. She's a heavy GIMP user and this with enough RAM and the upgraded Ryzen 7, looks awesome. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Quoting: JSVRamirezI haven't played in the last two versions, but there were certainly a couple of small issues that were drawbacks vs the original, but on the whole, the engine improvements over the original (which was a DOS game) are more than worth it.

Can you mention the drawbacks, please? Thanks a lot!

Rats weren't working properly, which meant that untidy hospitals weren't penalised. I think some of the awards didn't work at the end of the year and there were some UI elements that didn't work in the same way, so sometimes you'd select the wrong thing unwittingly .

Quoting: EhvisIt's a pretty great bundle of games. With one slight problem. If you've been buying games for a while, you likely own most of it already.

This.

They really needed more games in there to justify the price as a bundle (and not just as a charity donation) as effectively, I'm paying £25 for Kerbal.
