I love watching The International! As an American, of course I root for Evil Geniuses. :) I also think Team Liquid and PSG are fun to watch and I'm also a fair-weather fan, so I'm excited to see last year's winner (OG) play.

If I remember right, I played the demo like 20 years ago. I don't think I ever had the full game. This might be the time... but I'm not totally sure.

So, what other games would get improvements like this? All the OpenGL ones?

Being able to play games on a laptop is a great luxury. It makes LAN parties easier, and so they happen more often. Convenience has a cost. Not worth it to you? Fine. Don't buy it then. When I was a teen, my friends and I all had laptops that could play our favorite games, and so we met up really often. That was worth it.

Apart from gaming, many people at my company only have a laptop. They have extra monitors and peripherals at their desks. When they pick up their laptop and go to a meeting or home, they have their actual workstation with them.

So, you're basically Gandalf in this game? :P

Sounds very interesting.

Quoting: MrNilssonThe last few weeks I was switching between Linux Mint Cinammon and Manjaro KDE. By the way that was the first time I was using Linux ever.

Yesterday I finally decided to go with Mint and installed the new 19.2 Cinammon version. It works flawlessly for me and I'm really excited that I finally deleted Windows 10.

Congrats to you. Bold move! I dual booted for about two years until I realized that I hadn't booted into Windows for four months straight! That's when I was confident enough. :)

Quoting: gradyvuckovicHonestly, I give up on GIMP, Krita all the way!

Also

YAY!

*Happy Blending Noises*

^_^

Yup, I was waiting for someone to mention Krita. I haven't worked with it as much as GIMP, but it seems more intuitive.

Oh. That's not what I was expecting either. Hmm... still sounds good though.

These look pretty cool and I think one of my kids is ready for the first one. I bought both on GOG. I'll have to watch for patch news somehow since Galaxy doesn't exist for Linux! *grumble* Buying the first game was an act of fact due to the mentioned progression problem.

EDIT: I suppose the GOG library shows you when a new build is available, so I can check that every week or so.

This looks pretty great! I'm not sure that I want to buy it through Steam though. Steam doesn't accommodate multiple players in the same game the way several console games do. Yup, I know some Steam games have local co-op. None have what PS4 has where your buddy over the Internet that doesn't own a copy of the game can connect to your game and play in it (only some games have this, but no Steam games do).

No, I don't give DRM-free games to friends. That's not what I'm saying.
