Quoting: GoboPeople who are interested in this also might like to see if Technobabylon runs on Linux

I played through Technobabylon on Linux. I think using Steam/Proton...? I've never had any issues with AGS games running thru Wine though.

QuoteI definitely feel like Pathfinder is a lot less forgiving than Pillars of Eternity or Wasteland 2 for example.

I'd agree about Pathfinder. It does things a little differently to Pillars. I never really got stuck into Pathfinder the table top game either, I prefer DnD myself.

Kelvin and the Infamous Machine was a lot of fun. Very similar to the old LucasArts games of yesteryear.

I'm keen to give this a go.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleMy partner just switched to Linux 100%, even though she can't run Photoshop anymore. We're currently playing Final Fantasy XIV together. That's the real value of Proton right there.

I have a friend who did the same. Got sick of Windows and switched to Linux cause he could still play his games. That's it.
Not because of the freedom, open source, or privacy concerns (he figures in this day and age MS/Google/Facebook know all about him anyway). He just wanted to play games, and Proton made that possible.

Quoting: scaineI wonder what excuses developers/publishers will dream up to release on Stadia, but not release on Linux directly...? Pfff. They'll think of something, no doubt.

I imagine something like "our only supported Linux platform is Google stadia", followed by a suggestion to play it in a browser.

The art and animation is beautiful. I liked the voice work, and yes even Buzz. Its a very Romanian game, he's (half) Romanian. Makes sense!

The lip sync is sometimes a bit off putting, but easily looked past. If you enjoyed the old Lucasarts games, I think you will love this.
