Eye of the Beholder Trilogy is currently FREE on GOG, plus big D&D sale

FYI; The Eye of beholder games can also be run on android units.

I use this dosbox for it; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bruenor.magicbox.free [External Link]

but presumably any of them will work.

Not sure if there is a dosbox app for iOS

Anyone actually playing with the stadia controller?
Can you tell the difference between that and any other controller as far as input latency is concerned?

Getting to the point where you need a spread sheet and GPS to figure out the where the various cpus fit's in relations each other. Makes me yearn for the days when cpu's had a single number and larger was always better :D

Quoting: tuubiJust like tomahawk-wielding, scalp-hunting, firewater-guzzling, feather-wearing savages in a modern game would be in bad taste, don't you agree? Or tiny buck-toothed yellow men with coolie hats if you prefer that particular outdated trope.
That's just the point this wasn't *anything* like that and people seeing the blow guns as joins might want to read up on freud.
The dev apparently disagrees with you, seeing as they changed the model.
They changed the model because the cost of doing that was less than the projected cost of having the whiners continuing to cry racism.

if you read the statement linked in the article you will see that they dont think the model is racist but changed it to avoid offending any people in any way;

the TLDR; "we never saw it as, nor intended it to be racist, somebody think it is, we are sorry, we will change. please dont hate us"

From your post I guess you think it's racist, and your entitled to your opinion - I tried and failed to change it. But the developers clearly don't they just rolled over and took the easy way out, I don't really blame them considering the PR hell they would have likely encountered otherwise in the current political climate. But I find it absurd that is has gotten to this point, mob rule is never a good thing.

but it's getting clear this is not a issue we will ever agree on so there is very little point in continuing this discourse

Quoting: blackmambaNEVER apologize if you've done nothing wrong.
The problem is that with the current "dialog" on matters pertaining gender and skin colour is that the minute somebody accuses you of wrong doing you are wrong, facts be damned.

In this case having characters that are black wearing masks with bold red lips is mocking black people.

I wonder what these paragons of virtue would think if they ever visited a museum or studied native african tribal masks;

Suppose it doesn't matter at this points, the people behind got what they were after all along - attention/clicks/likes/subscribers

Quoting: ageres
They've also seen some controversy elsewhere. In the trailer at about 0:46, you can see characters chasing the protagonist wearing masks. Apparently this caused a stir as some claimed it was a racial stereotype. The team released a statement on Facebook to apologize and they will be adjusting that model to remove the dreadlocks, change their "bold lips", skin tone and change the dart blower "so it looks less like a joint".
Isn't that just an African tribal mask? Isn't a man at the beginning of the video shown as a stereotypical British gentleman? Is Crash Bandicoot racist now too?
The Ministry of Truth does not condone your unlicensed use of common sense, please desist and get on the outrage bandwagon immediately

Quoting: The_AquabatI'm glad they've corrected the stereotype. Gaming as being a highly innovative industry there's lot of people with open minds. But I think some people need to chill down I recently read an article of JRR Tolkien being called the "Lord of the Racists".
(some) People will always find something to complain about, and once you give in to their whims they will double down until nothing is left but the bones.

That aside I love the art style of the game, never heard of it before now

It's hard to belive that https://stadia.google.com/ [External Link] is a google page :S

Horrible UX - hiding the scroll bar, disabling keyboard scrolling

And on top of that they are hiding the prices of the games until your signed up, that is so shady that if not for the fact that is a subdomain to google.com I'd have said this was 100% a scam :|
