This looks interesting, and has strong nostalgia vibes for me.
Back in the late 80s I took a year out before uni intending to travel around Australia. Instead I ended up playing rugby for 9 months, and somehow ended up playing for the South Australian Under-21s (despite not being Australian).

That's really disappointing about the Humble partner program. I always whacked the slider up for GOL, but now you don't even seem to be able to tell that any of the money is going to a partner. Previously it was very obvious.

Quoting: pbSo I tried to play it in 2019 and I couldn't finish the tutorial, because the slipstream mechanics didn't work, on Linux anyway. I wonder if they fixed it. :tongue:

Not sure what your problem was, but I completed the game in 2019 without issue. Was one of my favourite games.

Only 3 months old, but looks like you will need to update your Steam curator review [External Link] and conclusion “Does not work currently.”

Quoting: poiuzDoes it say anywhere if they're using the Ryzen 6000-series?

Yes, they are using Ryzen 7 6800H. Hit the Get Notified button and you can see all the spec combinations available.

Wow, iFixit are hard to please. Every part is replaceable, I can even imagine motherboard / SoC upgrades being available in the future, and only merits a 7/10 repairability score!

This irks me. Backed the Kickstarter and it all looked very promising, especially with the release of Backbone: Prologue which was available for Linux initially.

But then they released Backbone, no Linux version was available and they even removed the Linux build for the Prologue. I haven't redeemed by Steam key, waiting for the Linux release first. Guess I'll be asking for a refund.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualOnce you pause your Humble Monthly membership, you don't get access to the Humble Trove to download the games anymore.

True, but if you've already downloaded them you can still play them. With the Collection this will not be possible.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualFrom the sounds of it, the only way to get games from the Humble Games Collection is through the launcher, and no statement has been made on whether they will be DRM-Free

Quoting: nullzeroHumble Games Collection (presumely non drm-free)

Games in the Humble Games Collection will not be DRM-free. The point of requiring the launcher is so that they can revoke access if you skip/cancel your plan.

From the announcement [External Link]:

Note that you’ll lose access to these games if you skip a month or cancel your membership

Actually had the survey pop-up for the first time on my daughter's account last night. That's only the third time I recall getting asked across 4 accounts and 7 years.

The survey is such a mystery!
