Humble is just Steam with extra steps...

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: HamishGreat time for my GPU to have suddenly quit on me isn't it?

Jokes on them though, with the drought eating into my bottom line I could not afford to replace it regardless of the market conditions. Yay me! :grin:

Why does drought eat into your bottom line?

Farmer maybe ????

That's the obvious possibility, but when I started thinking about it there were a surprising number of others. Might sell supplies farmers use, might just be in a community where farmers set the economy, or it might be something quite different. I read about a once major lake in the US that has shrunk down to tiny in the last number of years, all the boat docks are standing over cracked dried mud, fishing is done for, and the tourist trade has gone to nothing.
Or he could have a small privately owned hydroelectric dam. No water, no electricity, no moolah. :grin:

Sorry to disappoint Purple Library Guy but pete910 was closer to the truth. In my case it was my having to feed my sheep through the summer and fall due to the grass not growing and then having to pay a premium for my usual winter feed for both the sheep and the cows. Even chicken food prices are through the roof right now.

Quoting: pete910LGP activated there games on steam when they shutdown, It's how I got x3:r on steam. Don't quite remember how though :dizzy:

That was not LGP but Egosoft directly that put the Linux versions up on GOG.com and Steam. Good lads.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAnd now Voodoo 3s fetch a huge price because they can be used in Amigas...

Also classic PC enthusiasts. On the other hand, part of the reason I got my Rage 128 Pro for reasonably cheap is that Rage cards are somewhat negatively associated with old Macs.

Quoting: gbudnyCan you take more pictures of Quake games? I have the box version of Quake 2 for Linux, but it's still in the shrink wrap. I don't want to unpack it.

I collected a few more I took on my phone at the time:

Barring that, I do not want to take them out of storage again right now.

Funny how LGP is dominating the conversation when it is not even mentioned in the article... :whistle:

I do not actually have a wealth of LGP games on hand to try; since they never had the same retail presence that Loki did their games do not really show up on the second hand market, regardless of the DRM situation.

Quoting: GuestWHAAAT!? You haven't played it yet? You must be joking, yes? :wink:

I played the Ion Maiden preview campaign and Heskel's House of Horrors. Never got around to playing the final product and now I will just be waiting for the patch. Similar thing with Dusk.

It did not help that the performance for me was not stellar but I have upgraded my computer a bit since.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Because I ve been gaming since the late 80s monster closet games do nothing for me same problem I had with painkiller series

I would still draw a line between most Build Engine games and something like Serious Sam or Painkiller which just focus on throwing wave after wave of enemies after you in mostly simplistic arenas. Not that it makes them any more to your taste, which is fine, but lavish level design has always been a big part of the Build Engine's appeal.

Quoting: peta77If they'd give it modern graphics, I'd grab it. But this pixelated stuff is not something I like.

You can have your own taste, but these graphics are hardly "pixelated". They are highly detailed sprites rather than models but that is nowhere near the same thing. I would agree that a lot of the games 3D Realms has been showing at Realms Deep do go overboard in their attempts to look retro but Ion Fury is not actually one of them.

As for me, well, I guess this gives me even more of an excuse to procrastinate on actually playing the game until the patch is released. :whistle:

Probably better off playing Blood with Raze or NBlood or BloodGDX than Fresh Supply as well.
