Quoting: GuestOn the other hand, the video did nothing to highlight all the warnings that what was about to happen could damage the system, plenty of opportunities were provided to back out, and an admin password I'm sure needed to be entered (checking....and yes). From the command line. That's up there with "here's a random .exe from an email, just open it" on Windows. Don't unless you know what you're doing - and that's something that really should've been given more emphasis in the video rather than saying how terrible everything is.

I suppose the thing to remember is that humans aren't born with instinctual knowledge to avoid doing either of those things, but once we've learned to do it it's easy to forget that fact. "Don't open a random .exe from an unsolicited email" seems like a no-brainer to you or I, and yet it happens (many, many times) every day, because it actually needs to be taught, just like learning which parts of the terminal output are important and should be paid attention to. I agree that it'd be great to see this used as a learning opportunity with some sort of follow-up. We'll see how it goes, I suppose. Maybe I'm just optimistic, but I suspect once they get through the initial hurdles of installing and getting drivers set up it'll be mostly smooth sailing unless they're trying games that don't work on Proton or very unusual use cases or something.

Interesting, I've been contemplating FPV drones recently, but can't quite afford a new hobby for a few months and everything I've seen says to get as much time as possible in on a simulator first. Hadn't heard of this studio before, but maybe this would be a cheaper way to find out if I'm actually interested in FPV flying. :smile:

I'm not entirely sold on the visual style, but it's certainly an enticing idea for a game.

I tried the demo from earlier this year and quite enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to playing this as soon as my computer arrives from moving overseas. The demo only went 30 turns so you couldn't really get into the terraforming much (you could build terraforming buildings, but they wouldn't do much in that length of time), and I'm interested to see how that layers on top of what's there already.

Quoting: BeamboomBut three of those titles (Bioshock, Hitman, Saints Row) are Linux native and have always worked?

And Civ 5. Or at least, it had a Linux version by the time I switched in 2014, don't know if it had it from launch. But hey, more Proton compatibility is always good.

This looks fun. Well, ok, it's hard to make much of a judgement from the trailer, but I like Superliminal and multiplayer sounds fun in theory. Something like Portal 2's co-op campaign could be amazing.

Man, bridges and tunnels will be huge. Sure, it's no multi-floor aquarium, but you can now break up space and route guests in much more interesting ways. And Japanese spider crabs and mantis shrimp? As a decapod lover I am so in! :woot:

Quoting: PhiladelphusI like the idea of laying out and managing a store and selling to customers. Could be interesting.

Have you played Moonlighter?

Hadn't heard of it, I'll have to check it out.
