Beautiful artwork. I'm not usually a fan of point-n-click adventures, but I might have to give this a go.

I wasn't aware of the unit limit - thanks for that. A Morphling is only 2 coins, so there should have been 35 available. I had 8 Morphlings on my bench (2x2-star and 2x1-star), leaving 27 available. But who knows, maybe 3 other players had already 3-starred their Morphlings? I didn't pay that much attention to the opposing teams.

Good to know though! Thanks!

I was doing alright in both matches where you took those screenshots, but ended up bombing out in fifth and fourth places. And that's because, as you say in the article, the shop RNG will either make or break your game.

I was sitting on two 2-star and two 1-star Morphlings for about 60% of one of the matches... just... one... more... Morphling... nope. If it had appeared, I expect I'd have made podium, but since it didn't, out I go.

Pretty frustrating.

On the other hand, it's engaging enough that I've sank nearly 40 hours into it. And it's free. So it's definitely incredible value!

Quoting: Satoru

Quoting: vectorI say this tongue-in-cheek so don't flame me, but perhaps Ubuntu would like to deprecate support for OpenGL as well; after all, Apple is deprecating OpenGL support :P

Canonical's plan

1) "You have 4 months sorry!"

If Canonical is going to copy all of Apple's bad decisions, then they should also copy the part where Apple spent YEARS clearly communicating to both devs and users, with popups and warning. As opposed to dropping a bomb on people with 4 months notice, and then when users upgrade to 19.10 in 4 months suddenly 50% of the Linux games will stop working and Proton/Wine also dies with it.

For the third(?) time: Canonical have been talking about this for about 2 years. Can't say that I'm amazingly pleased about how it's been communicated, but at least lets get the facts straight, eh?

Quoting: gradyvuckovicValve didn't really have much of a choice. If there's a solution to this, Valve couldn't be expected to commit to figuring it out and fixing it just 3 months. Canonical pulled this out of no where with no warning and just expected everyone to deal with it.

They've been talking about this for about 2 years actually. Ubuntu 19.10 is just the testing ground for 20.04 LTS. It's possible that they'll not reverse this decision for 19.10, but might for 20.04, depending on how it goes with 19.10.

Quoting: mphuZValve is wrong about this.

It was high time for all software developers to stop supporting 32-bit. Valve should be able to fully switch to 64-bit faster.

This also applies to Wine. Stopping Wine64 support, and then crying and calling everyone bad - it`s brilliant. :huh:

This isn't about 32-bit vs 64-bit distros. It's about library support for the massive number of games that don't have 64-bit builds. And as far as Wine is concerned, the vast, vast majority of games installers are 32-bit only, so if you don't have architecture/library support for that, the game won't install.

Quoting: riddleyAs a long-time Debian user, I have no dog in this fight, but man these comments are odd. First, Debian isn't difficult to install.

Second, we're half-way through 2019. When should we drop support for architectures that were obsoleted 20 years ago? Why is no one in these comments finding fault with Valve? Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad and grateful that they support Linux, but at the same time they don't do a very good job of it. Perhaps Steam is easy to install on Ubuntu, I'll never know. On Debain it's an exercise in frustration every time.

Technology moves forward. The people deserving of your ire are those refusing to move forward.

Nobody is arguing that we should all be using 64-bit distros, but this is a discussion about library support mainly. I'm simplifying, but since so many older games are 32-bit only, unless you have 32-bit library support, you're screwed. Despite knowing this, Canonical have decided to flip the finger at their desktop users and drop that support. Hence the outrage.

Sold. Goddam, this ticks all my Drox Operative, Reassembly, and Captain Forever boxes! Sign me the hell up!

The only question is, how did I miss the first game?! I guess I'll buy that one right now, and that'll give me a week and a half to look forward to the sequel...

Thanks! But honestly, I should really just get around to this upgrade. I can't remember what it was now, but another game isn't working... oh yeah, Dicey Dungeons, but it works for others. Maybe this weekend. We'll see...

I really need to update to 18.04 so I can play this. LOVE this developer. And this looks just awesome.

Quoting: TobiSGD

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: subLot's of our heroes turn out to not care *that much* about Linux.

Not like you can blame them though of course. They have a business to run, regardless of how passionate they are about ideals. If I was put in the position of dropping 2-3% of my sales in order to instantly gain masses of capital? It's a no-brainer. People have families to feed, jobs to secure.

I think it is pretty short sighted. Sure, they get a bunch of money now, but they not only dropped Linux sales, but also the sales of Windows gamers that won't buy Epic exclusives and maybe even put the company on their blacklist of publishers not to buy games from. In the long run, this may amount to more losses than they gained with a one time payment from Epic.

I think that's incredibly unlikely. Epic pay for the exclusive and also guarantee a minimum number of sales. Klei would have to work hard to lose anything by this. I think the numbers already show that not nearly enough people care about voting with their wallet. Coffee Stains latest game, Satisfactory sold half a million units already. Time will tell, I suppose.
