Even if he is a good popularizer, he seems to participate everywhere/time there are some money to catch. One point more to alert about this kind of kickstarter call.

The unofficial mod from pavonis [External Link], Long War 2 [External Link], was a nice add-on. I hope that this DLC will bring more novelty than LW2 provided ^^

Quoting: Refuerzo1I'm considering to support you, Liam. I'm an eager reader of your work and articles, and all of them are brilliantly written, authentic and with knowledge of cause...

Me too. Thank for paypal, as 5€ per month is too high for my wallet but I can spend more than 1€.
A typical web subscription to the best non-OS-specialized journal about gaming in France is 39 € per year VAT included [External Link] (there are cheaper journals but less funny and objective in their tests). I can spend that amount of money per year to access GOL and would love to be premium for that (that's sound fantastic to be "premium" :D). Even if your works completely deserve it, you are a bit expensive Liam ^^

Can I suggest some potential developments for GOL, Liam?
1/ By reading many of your papers, I often feel that somewhere on the net, we lack of a more militant site that would organize, quantify, show and advertise requests, demands, etc. for linux gamers. A place where you can create a web page to vote (thus number for developers) for some ports or kind of games, indicate how much you would fund such port or buy those games on linux, for requests to sellers (e.g. GOG or itch) to do this or that, etc.
Structure of such webpage would be(? I don't develop website :'(): A title of the vote, a summary of the request, a list of possibilities, show the number of votes for each possibility...and a discussion section like for each of your paper to detail and discuss requests ;-)

2/ a list of games you wrote about with vote (readers will do, would rank game in this list per genre?) and keyword about the kind of game (type: RPG, Shooter, etc.; difficulty; age: I'm always looking ofr good ideas for my sons of 12 and my nieces and nephews of 5, 8, 15) to help us for choosing the next games we would play.. with link to steam, gog, itch, humble stores (they can remunerate you for that?)

3/ A (or some) clear webpage(s) where we can aggregate links (with a search engine?) pointing to useful developments and discoveries, like wine-wrappers, project like openMW, interesting mods for linux gaming on popular games, etc.

GOG is sometimes unfathomable: for example, they newly sell Fallout3, Fallout NV and Oblivion. Fallout3 and NV come with many language supported...but for Oblivion, only english XD ... why? ....with no communication on this point as for linux!

That's a pity because one guy did all wine wrappers so the installations are really easy using wine (download it here and a link for many other windows-only-game wine-wrappers [External Link])

GOG: I like drm-free, people visiting and sharing like "adamhm". I dislike no communication, no linux version on many games that have native port, no effort for linux users, weird support of languages when they are available

Gampelay only seems to be 1/ dialogues and 2/sport-fighting phases?

Sorry Liam, I don't know where to send you information easily:
On humble bundle store, TombRaider (2003, ported by Feral) is at 4.99 €

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: AimHereAlso, Rome is still one of the more popular games in the series, between the nostalgia factor (it was the first proper 3D Total War, and for many gamers, it was their first game in the series), and the relative simplicity of the gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if it sells more than some of the later TW games.

Do you have a recommendation for a Total War to try for modern graphics and "relatively simplistic" gameplay?

yeah and a tutorial to understand what happens on screen XD
In my Total War, I see soldiers killed and map with stuffs happening. No idea how I can act on the game, like in Crusader king 2 of Paradox. I would have love to play it but I don't have 3 weeks to understand the mechanism of a game. :'-(

well, nice for people liking Total war series.

But too many Total war isn't too much Feral?
Is it because when you ported one Total war, they use the same engine and it makes it easy to port all other Total war?

I finished MadMax after ~60h last week (verdict: largely under Shadow of Mordor). I moved yesterday on Alien. Need another game for next month ^^ but not a total war. Even if I bought you Warhammer, Medieval II and Empire, I never succeeded to get addicted, probably because I can't catch all the game mechanisms.
I will try Long War on Xcom2 and hope for a hidden gem coming from elsewhere.
