Never much liked digital versions of Monopoly, half the fun of that game is using made up rules that make the game last nearly half a day and pisses off the entire family as a result.

I imagine this port will likely become the preferred one once the features exceed devilutionx.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

I've been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance through wine + dxvk. It runs fairly well, and I'm enjoying it far more than I expected, I regret not buying it a year earlier as I've been missing out on what's essentially a hardcore elder scrolls experience. Everything is just so fleshed out, I've been spending most of my time making potions and strangling random homeless people until they fall unconscious.

I just got the hardware survey yesterday, and I finally submitted my hardware info. I tend to avoid them as my privacy obsessed mind tend to read the word "survey" and immediately freak out.

Beginner-friendly also means it's lazy-friendly. I'm certainly an experienced enough Linux user to setup and use even the most mystifying distros, but I'm lazy, and Mint works on most systems I've thrown at it without any issues and has a great out-of-the-box experience.

Lucky me, I was setting up a new wine prefix yesterday and installed this newest release of dxvk without even notcing.

I just noticed The Sims 1 no longer has the Bronze rating on AppDB and has apparently been functioning since at least 4.6.
I remember that game for a long time being the sole reason I still had a Windows partition. It's weird how vestigial that partition is getting...
Yeah I think I'll finally stop dual booting once I get a hardware upgrade, all the software I need for work already run fine under wine, and it seems I just need a little extra overhead for those modern titles I own.

Cortex Command has a Community Project that aims to keep the game alive

Seems like a good excuse to play it, it's been in my backlog since I picked it up for free ages ago.

Exhumed/PowerSlave can now be played easily with a cross-platform game engine

I assume this is based off the original PC version which had completely different map design and level structure compared to the Saturn version, though I'm not really familiar enough with Powerslave to be entirely certain.
