Quoting: immortelIsn't it the game where they made a mistake on the web site few weeks ago. They corrected it to have Mac only because they previously mentionned Linux and Mac. Now the web page is still announcing Mac only. :)

I never played that game but it is a great good new for Linux players.

Yep: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/looks-like-feral-interactive-are-porting-medieval-ii-total-war-to-linux-updated.6388

They aren't very good at keeping their own secrets :P

Either way, I won't be pre-ordering it myself. If it's out on the day then I will simply purchase my copy to cover on GOL then and there. Unless someone wants to gift me a pre-order so we are ready, I won't stop you ;)

Quoting: WorMzyOoh, I played the alpha of this briefly, and it was quite fun. There was a bug with grass rendering though, making the ground all black, which made exploring a bit difficult. It certainly looks like it'll be a fun game.

They fixed that very recently.

Thanks for covering it, I literally just got access to check it out myself and found it delightful already!

Quoting: lucinosone small detail. It is not a "free game", it is a "free to play game".

Lolwhut.

Expressing laughter and disbelief or confusion at the same time? [External Link] Why?

For this title, it's a silly argument. All game-play aspects are 100% free.

You already spent thousands for a monster PC and you have problems with spending couple hundreds more than expected for a rift? really?

My PC was nearly 3K in total. Doesn't mean I want to buy a VR headset which is currently very limited for Linux.

Quoting: BeamboomMy married colleagues and I all spend at least two full evenings a week doing gaming or programming or composing music or whatever it is we want to spend our spare time doing. Then we got the weekends where we typically do stuff with the family. But weekdays? After the kids are to bed? I'm firing up Steam, baby - it's time to kill that boss! :)

Hmm, I guess I sorta see your point now you put it like that. Still, am I willing to spend that many hundreds for it? Nope.

I would never use it around friends, since I like to properly socialise at the very least once a week, and I don't consider sticking on a VR headset when I have friends around/I go to a friends as socialising, it's isolating yourself again. It was awkward enough when I tested the headset with three family members sitting around.

Quoting: TheBossI couldn't put a kid to bed, slap on a VR headset and completely erase myself from a partner for an evening. It's weird, it's being isolated.

Not even once in a while? In your cave while she's watching some series she enjoy in the livingroom? Or while she's doing some of her hobbies? You two are going to choke each other if you don't give each other space, man!

Hell, was I kept away from gaming because of a spouse I can say right away it'd never work, ever.

Of course now and then, but to pay that much (The PC needed, the headset itself etc) all for something I wouldn't realistically be able to put lots of time into, it's too much for me. We have very different views on family time and partner time it seems, so I will agree to disagree on this.

Quoting: chrisqDo you even read the posts you reply to, he clearly states he has a family.
I don't see how using screens attached to your face takes more time away from your family that looking across the room.

My friends and myself have children and we have no problem finding time for ourselves. Not being a single parent and keeping a proper bed time for the children helps.

Of course I read the posts I reply to, do you think I am an idiot? People stating something on the internet doesn't make it instantly true, I didn't believe him honestly, but as above we seem to just have very different views/different relationships.

Quoting: TheBossI'm going to guess you don't have your own family? They take up a lot of time.

Like I said, I'm married with two kids. And they do - in the DAYTIME. But kids go to bed like seven/eight in the evening!

I see what you're saying, but I don't agree with how you're thinking on it.
