What would those CPU and GPU look like in Intel/nvidia terms? It's all I can do to keep up with what those numbers mean.

As for covering this on GOL: it's a Linux system and it runs games, I'm in.

Quoting: GuestI have a question, it may be a stupid one, but it's one I can't figure out: why do visual novels count as games?

I suppose it's a computer variant of game books. You can make some choices which change the story.

See http://www.abandonia.com/en/gamebooks [External Link]

Well, some don't let you make any choices, or meaningful ones. And others have more gameplay elements than just dialog options. It's kind of a fluid game genre.

Quoting: tuubiI think I've already bumped into a discussion of games on Steam for which you can download official "uncensor" patches from the developer's website directly. If I remember correctly, this list included HuniePop. Don't know if other stores sell "uncut" versions of these games.

I'm aware of one example, Highway Blossoms, that is on both Steam and itch as a SFW version that fades to black during the one or two sex scenes of the VN. On both stores the description links to their website for a downloadable uncensor patch. But considering the number of adult games on itch, I expect most of them are uncut by default; but maybe that's not exactly what you mean.

Rage 2 on Linux would be nice, I enjoyed the first game when I still used Windows. But yeah, Bethesda...

Quoting: EikeI'm looking forward for this! Like the topic and the style, and the co-developer and publisher Application Systems Heidelberg did the same for Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet [External Link] as well. (Just seeing it's for 50% at the moment.)

Ah, I knew that name was familiar, thanks for that comment.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar [External Link] is also 50% off on Steam but the Linux build isn't out officially yet so I'm personally holding off on it. There's a beta branch though, and you can read about it in this thread [External Link].

Quoting: tuubiWhaaat? Am I really the only one who lost interest in the NFS series after they introduced police chases in the third installment?

Police chases are about the only thing that can still make me interested in racing games for more than a few minutes, so vastly different experience here :)

That said, I don't think I've seen any other game that does it, so I don't actually own any racing game at the moment.

That Discord notification sound in the trailer...

I'll keep the game in the back of my head, though.

Quoting: SalvatosYou're not allowed to photocopy a paperback either

You are allowed, for your personal backup. It's called fair use.

Not necessarily if you go by TOS alone, as you did with Steam (and since laws vary from country to country, that's all we can really do given the scope of this community). One example off the top of my head (emphasis mine):
"Any reproduction or unauthorized use of the material or artwork contained herein is prohibited without the express written permission of Wizards of the Coast."

That's a contractual limitation, not digital rights management, i.e. a practical impediment. Steam's TOS is just the same.
