The current Weekly Sales on GOG have some quality roguelike and RPG experiences for cheap

Are you sure that you are allowed to share that information. I got the impression that it had been rather hush hush and GOG refused to give out any information about it.
It has been very public information for quite some time.

Mystery adventure game Jenny LeClue - Detectivu is officially out now with Linux support

It seems the book author, Arthur, doesn't always agree with the decision you take too.
Occasionally it's also the other way round, with the narrator saying one thing and Jenny doing the opposite, and that's part of the humor. It also helps to see more in Jenny than a purely fictional character dreamed up by another fictional character.
Oh I do agree, that was part of a wider point I did try to get across when mentioning it was quite amusing.

Something to note, is that voice acting was a funded stretch goal on the Kickstarter which is not currently in the game.
That would explain why there's an audio setting for voice, but no voice over :-). Seemed odd, and releasing a game without voice over these days certainly defied my expectations, but I got over that fairly quickly. But if done well, it could make the experience even better!
Currently it adjusts the noise in place of them speaking, which I did find quite annoying so I turned it right down.

Quoting: GuestI get that this may be relevant to some (or a lot) of your readers, Liam, but I still don't personally like that you share and suggest buying products from GOG given their history with being transphobic on multiple occasions on social media. I don't want to start any argument or the like, but that's just my thoughts. (Won't stop me from following and liking GOL though, you do good stuff regardless.)
The person responsible for the tweets was fired by GOG.

ATOM RPG had another massive update recently adding in an Isometric mode

Quoting: BeamboomHuh? What was it before, if not isometric? How is this different?
As another said, part of it is nostalgia and appealing to people who played classic Fallout games. Before the camera was quite different, this is more locked down and it does give the game a different feel from my time running around with it.

Race through a dying world as a squirrel in the climbing platformer OSK, out now
23 Sep 2019 at 10:23 am UTC

Quoting: TcheyI tested it, and i feel it's bad. Visual and musics are excellent, but gameplay is wasted. Controls are bad, squirrel does not behave like you may expect from a squirrel. Weird to write, but that's my main feeling... Also, didn't do it myself, but it seems the game is extra short, like 2 hours long, and you cannot save. The game literally tells you at the beginning you can't save because the game is pretty short. Also, no key rebinding, and my xBoxOne USB didn't work.
Wow, that's a real shame as it looks visually so pretty.

The Linux gaming Sunday round-up paper

Quoting: NanobangI enjoyed this Sunday roundup article. Is it new? I don't remember seeing it before. Anyway, kudos.
We do it sometimes, this was a bit of a new format though, just trying something a lil different.

Police Stories attempts to offer a different take on the top-down shooter genre

Quoting: propertyLooks nice. Two issues though.

1. Both of your links point to humble.com. Here's a valid Steam link [External Link]
2. The game is not yet available on humble.com
Linked was fixed, Humble emailed to find out what's going on there...

Stygian only mentions Windows for some reason now, but the publisher confirmed it's still happening: https://twitter.com/1C_Company/status/1175164083747926016 [External Link] as did the developer when queried about GOG showing only Windows: https://twitter.com/stygianthegame/status/1173547405305888769 [External Link]

A French court has ruled that Valve should allow people to re-sell their digital games

Quoting: minidouBeing able to resell what you own used to be possible. What's so horrible about getting that right back ?
It's the implications and how it will affect the industry that we all love, that's what's horrible. You need to look at it more than just an us versus them type of situation. If this goes through and goes across other countries and stores, look at what I wrote at the bottom of the article. PC gaming would become pretty terrible as a whole and indies especially, a large majority would likely throw in the towel completely.

Quoting: chancho_zombiewell you can sell your games ... you could sell all your account.
Pretty sure that's currently prohibited and can get the account banned if Valve found out.
