Quoting: Loftywhy is an analysis tool required for a game that already has HDR
Considering he is working on HDR support, I'm pretty sure it's useful for debugging purposes.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered heads to Steam from Aspyr

Quoting: PhlebiacMaybe there's still a chance they will do cross-platform in the end, like they did for Fahrenheit, Total War: Rome, and KOTOR2.
That is odd, Aspyr is a porting house... did they shift to an enhancement house?
I guess you missed the other remastered games I listed? They have been doing a little bit of everything for a while now: mobile games, publishing for third parties, remasters, maybe even still the occasional macOS port? I believe Civ6 (and DLC) was their last Linux port.

they won't have a Native Linux version
No macOS version listed, either. Which seems odd, given Aspyr's history. Maybe there's still a chance they will do cross-platform in the end, like they did for Fahrenheit, Total War: Rome, and KOTOR2.

February 14th 1968 is the original Lara Croft's birthdate.
Wow, she'll be raiding the social security office soon!

Humble Bundle has a big Cities: Skylines bundle

I got (one of?) the previous bundles, so have a few of the DLC already. And yet, the complete collection on Steam would still run me an additional $161.73, with the current sale going!

Quoting: GroganActual, Q, John DeLancie Q? I love that snide character.
I would enjoy seeing the old cast of Next Generation again too.
Yes; sounds like you would enjoy seasons 2 and 3. :)

Quoting: Groganmoldy oldie from 2000... "Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force" (Quake 3 engine if I recall).
Definitely a different genre (and dare I say, more akin to the newer "action" movies).

Quoting: GroganDiscovery was OK, but I lost interest in the second season. Star Trek Picard bored me after the first episode. I think I quit on the third one. It's not that I hated it, I love Patrick Stewart, it just didn't capture my interest enough to tear me away from other things (e.g. games)
I found the first couple of seasons of Discovery started strong, but went downhill in the second half. As for the Picard series - the second season brought back Q, and the third season was like a TNG reunion. If that doesn't pique your interest, then by all means, keep ignoring it. :)

Humble Choice has Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Patch Quest, Deceive Inc + more
6 Sep 2023 at 6:45 am UTC

I just finished playing through The Forgotten City, and certainly enjoyed it.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands looks like it could be fun, but I note with interest that all of the DLC is very negatively reviewed.

Deceive Inc looks like it could be fun if I were into online multiplayer, but I'm not. The rest doesn't look all that interesting, so ...

TTW is probably the sole game you may want to buy this bundle for
... this seems accurate for me.

Schizollama from Chaosmonger Studio is a blazing-fast run and gun game

They certainly like to keep busy and try out different things. I enjoyed Encodya and got Clunky Hero as well because of that, but still haven't gotten around to trying it out. At least Three Minutes to Eight looks closer to the adventure game genre they started with.

Quoting: anewsonthe ill-fated Daedalic (of Gollum fame)
I see the reviews on Gollum are terrible, but Daedalic has put out lots of nice games previously. Did Gollum take them out?

Edit: Probably not, as they have lots of upcoming games listed (including a sim in the Deponia universe):
