It's originally an incredibly strange 2019 animated film
What have you done to my brain?

Hahaha

I'm more interested in the non-violent approach it provides which is unusual for such a survival game.
Yes, this is interesting. Looking forward to more in-depth reviews!

Looks like the re-invented edition will not be a free upgrade for existing owners. From the Steam page:

"Coming Q1 2022. A discount for existing Sir, You Are Being Hunted owners will be made available at the time."

Great game.

I also have the old Linux build from GOG. Glad to see it getting updated and put on Steam. Worth playing for any retro point-and-click fan.

Quoting: EagleDeltaAs far as I can tell, all the links are broken
Can confirm. There is an "adtraction" redirect on every link in your story but it is sneaky and doesn't show up on hover. My ublock kills the click (with good reason).

Some games live on forever and that's very much the case with Zork, a true classic interactive fiction adventure from 1980 and thanks to Ryan "Icculus" Gordon there's also now MultiZork.
Wow. Just, wow.

Developer ehmprah gives an update on how Core Defense did a year later

I bought the base game and enjoyed it. It was a fun idea.

However, the DLC came out soon after which left a strange impression, so I didn't buy it. I know that developers need to eat and I don't mind paying for quality, but it really seemed like the DLC was just some basic options that should have been included the main game.

Valve dumped Debian Linux for Arch Linux with SteamOS 3 because surprise - faster updates

Quoting: slaapliedjeBack when they based the original SteamOS on Debian, it was because of Canonical's Creative... something license, I can't recall off the top of my head what it was called, but the discussion was basically about that.
Interesting. I am surprised the Canonical stuff wasn't something that could have been stripped out. I wasn't thinking Valve would use vanilla Ubuntu. Whether or not it would have worked, I can see Valve's desire not to be relying on a commercial Linux distro, that has a very different agenda than theirs.

The question no-one is asking: Why not an Ubuntu base?

My guess: Because Canonical can't decide what it wants with the desktop. Trying to remove the 32bit libs was a boneheaded move.

I am very happy that Valve is using KDE for the desktop mode!

Steam Controller (R.I.P)
... quiet weeping ...

Quoting: axredneckI wish my Steam Controller had a D-pad...
Me too. Me too.

(I am a little concerned that Valve has hardware ADHD. The fact they can't get a 2nd gen controller out the door seems like they just don't have the right internal capacity for hardware.)
