This game reminds me of the Memoir '44 board game, a board game I really like. Looks pretty cool to me.

I agree that the pro-America vibe in the trailer is over the top and I think that's the point. I think it's for an audience that understands the... attitude. You know, it's almost cartoonish in a narrative way. Think of the old A-Team show.

Quoting: 14If Cyberpunk 2077 was coming to Linux, I would be looking at that RX 6800 instead of a PS5.

If it's not, it will work with vkd3d-proton eventually. But I'll probably wait until it's discounted. RX 6800 or RX 6800XT will still be quite useful for it.

I had the same thoughts, but that's a lot of money to put toward something that will probably work. Cyberpunk is a special game to me. If there are launch issues, I want to be on a majority platform and not a niche one. Since I'm buying the disc, I can always sell and buy the Steam version later on.

Quoting: PatolaHow do Fort Triumph and For the King compare?

I own and have played both a few hours each. Fort Triumph is a turn-based, tactical game with some light RPG elements. Overall, it's like a Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics game kind of blended with XCOM. You use a map just like Fire Emblem games to move your party around and manage their base. And then you for the most part pick which battles you're going to do. The battles are XCOM style.

For the King, while also turn-based, is almost completely different, just as Liam said. For the King has Japanese RPG style combat -- your party against one or multiple opponents, all staring at each other and patiently taking their turns to dish out and take on damage. There is no player movement during fights. Initiative dictates character turn order. What you're deciding in fights is the equipment you brought into it and what action to take during your turn, like attacking or using an item. When not in battle, you move your players across a map that feels much more like a board game. In fact, I can't help feeling like For the King is a light-hearted D&D game. I quite like it. Local multiplayer works really nicely also.

I like both games. Because of their graphics and gameplay, they're just delightful.

I have the physical version and can admit that it's more enjoyable than it first appeared.

Hutchinson did tweet directly, not from a studio account. Perhaps you're tripping up on singular they? Don't know, hard to tell, as you didn't point out the parts confusing you. When talking about a person, using "they" is just pretty normal here.

Thanks for claryfing, that was indeed what tripped me up. Non-native speaker here

You were understandably confused. Using the pronoun they for a singular person is a new trend and not what anyone was taught in English.

Quoting: KithopConsidering how many games have lengthy cutscenes (i.e. movies), I'm tempted to say that in some ways, this guy's not wrong. For certain games, the 'stream' is basically just the streamer watching and commenting on these lengthy cutscenes. Probably stuff like the interactive storybook stuff Telltale was known for, or extremely linear RPGs where the main gameplay is a ton of repetitive grinding.

One could argue that the folk watching that type of game streamed instead of buying it wouldn't have purchased it anyway. The game still gets hype, now also by the people that didn't buy it. Overall, the publisher sees more sales.

Since I manage multiple Mojang accounts for the kiddos, my real concern is how often will I have to re-enter the password in the launcher. Also, now this account that was limited to Minecraft can be used for a lot of things that I'd rather not deal with yet.

I started using bashtop about a year ago or a little less. Hmm... should I switch now or wait 'til Arch promotes it to the Community repo?
