QUBE is on GOG as well (no Linux version though). I played a few hours into it, and liked it quite a bit; though for some reason I get motion sickness from it. (Which happens only on the rare odd game, and I don't understand why.)

A couple more games:

Deadcore: I'd like this one a lot more if it didn't rely so much on precise platforming. It's really difficult; but does scratch the Portal itch.

Antichamber: This is more of a labyrinth, as opposed to complex physics puzzles in 3 dimensions, but it's pretty interesting. Really difficult as well.

I've recently seen a tweet by game developer Matt Stark, who seems to be developing a very similar type of game: https://twitter.com/mattstark256/status/1213156890475212800?s=20 [External Link]

They*'ve been teasing an authentic NES version -- running on a cartridge, on a real unmodded NES -- on twitter: https://twitter.com/KasumiDirect/status/1204608235275030528?s=20 [External Link]

There was an earlier tease, though I can't remember where.

(* I think a homebrew NES developer is doing this on behalf of Yacht Club Games.)

Connect isn't seeing my steam copy of Dusk -- first time I'm running into this problem; previous Connect transactions had never caused a hiccup.

Quoting: KimyrielleIn the Steve Ballmer era, I'd have suggested someone to go check the temperature in hell, but these days, I am not even surprised anymore. The new management's strategy is a lot less Windows-centric.

Ballmer? Temperature? Hell? OF COURSE!



They must've had the heat too high; that's why he was sweating profusely like that.

We haven't had a substantial 'Connect' collection in a long while now.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI mean not really, it already looks like crap.

Hilarious, it already looks like a 5 yr. old game, haha. I had no idea these movies were aging so badly.

I remember reading an article a few years ago, which predicted that once raytracing of this sort becomes mainstream, and our eyes get used to it, even the cutting edge billion dollar production George Lucas CGI from the early 2000s will start to look like N64 graphics to us -- with all the shortcuts and brain-duping tricks they had to implement with the lighting -- not to mention games from earlier eras.

I wonder what Portal would look like in VR, at this graphical fidelity.
