Fantastic roguelike Caves of Qud gets more accessible with new game modes, new regions

Quoting: CyrilI wonder when the game will be finished, it's in EA for ages.
Some games are not meant to "be finished". They just grow and evolve, for as long as someone cares about them.
Yeah I agree with that, but meanwhile the game could leave Early Access state and still provides a lot of content updates, many games do that.

Party-based fantasy RPG Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness gets a Linux version

That's how it should be done, great!
A Linux/macOS release after a big month of the Windows one is perfectly fine, and it's during Early Access too.
There are so many KS projects that dropped Linux/macOS release during EA because mostly excuses... and then still have delays when the full game is out (or miss Linux completely)...
And yet, there, they provides these on GOG too, so often Steam is the only place to have EA for your OS.
As a backer I'm very happy with that!
But I didn't find the time to try the game yet.

GOG removes HITMAN after customer backlash over online features

Quoting: x_wingSo they remove this game because it requires an online connection to play some missions but they will still have other games that you can only play multiplayer if and only if you have galaxy client. They can apologize all what they want but this smells more like a PR damage control.
For what I gather IO was blocking single player modes with online due to the modes having leaderboards.
There are plenty of games (also on gog) that have daily challenges with leaderboards that only work with an online connection. The only difference is that you can apparently earn starting costumes and items for the normal game with that. Not entirely sure because I never cared about those things. It does seem a bit overblown to me, but everybody knows how crazy people can get for simple things like cosmetic items.
Precisely, IO really dropped the ball with the implementation, I mean Streets of Rage 4 (Linux build) in GOG doesn't have online yet I can access the weekly challenges
Slay the Spire have daily "challenges" too, but the way it works it's not an issue like this Hitman.

A look at the top 100 Steam games and how many will work on Linux and the Steam Deck

Quoting: CyrilI'm just really surprised how nobody mention that Cortana is a shit that spy on people...
Same as Google, Siri, Alexa and such. Nothing new there that is worth mentioning. At least in a game it stops listening when you quit playing.
No it's not the same Cortana is installed by default on Windows and you can hardly disable it (majority of people won't anyway).
Yeah it stops listening in-game, but then continue listening back at your desktop, lol. :smile:

Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine recreation fheroes2 v0.9.8 out now

Quoting: scaineI never played any Might and Magic games. Might give this a shot next year though - perfect Steam Deck material!
Be careful, "Might and Magic" games are very different games than "Heroes of Might and Magic" ones, despite sharing the same universe in some episodes. :wink:
I never played Might and Magic ones neither but I can strongly recommend playing the "Heroes" ones. :happy:
