Dying Light is still seeing updates years after release and my love of it continues

the two people who did the Dying Light Linux port no longer work at Techland
inb4: Linux ports are too complicated. We can't afford to hire the (2) people required to do it.

I did particularly enjoy the "Why Linux?" slide with an answer of "It's not Windows" which seemed to give the crowd (and me) a little chuckle.

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: devlandThe first game was also great but I always felt like the combat was heavily randomized by how the AI reacted and you had little control over it besides pausing the game every so often. :D
Didn't it have many auto pause options? If I remember corretly, I enables lots of them and it didn't feel much different from turn based.
Yep, it does. However, in some battles, missing a heal could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Real time combat makes this a bit tricky. It's ok for most people & encounters, though. :)

Just finished Dark Souls 3 via Lutris and I was waiting for turn based mode to get out of beta before diving into PoE 2. The first game was great but I always felt like the combat was heavily randomized by how the AI reacted and you had little control over it besides pausing the game often. :D

GOG has a pretty great Midweek Sale, some good Linux RPGs going cheap

Just got Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition Digital Deluxe Edition.
I already have Tyranny. A very underrated game. My gateway drug towards Pillars of Eternity. Obsidian knows how to make good RPGs. :P

Quoting: TheRiddickCows eat 1200 pounds a day btw!
That's how much they weigh, not how much they eat. They eat between 28 and 32 pounds of hay per day.

Loved the first one. It's an instant buy for the day it releases for Linux drm free. :)

I really like the articles. They should be recurrent. :)

Sudden Strike 4 releases an update with free bonus missions, plus a new Pacific War DLC

It's a good game that feels it could have been far greater. It really could have used a conquest mode. As it is, the campaign and skirmish battles get dull really fast because there's nothing to tie them together besides the stars you get after completing missions which you can use to improve your generals.
