Can you actually play the game alone? Well, I mean, I know that you CAN, but how is it?
I don't usually have people to play with and I loathe playing with totally random people. But I'd like to give the game a try as it seems really interesting.

Quoting: Alm888And what it has to do with gaming on Linux, again?

Is launching any random Windows game through WINE worthy of a news article?

So you no longer have to suffer the terrible fate of reading Wine-related news, and other people don't have to suffer comments like yours.

I really like their Kingdom Rush games, so this went to my wishlist immediately.

Why would I possibly support this?!

Ubuntu support? Currently it's too hard to run PoE on it.

Sorry, what?
Steam -> Steam Play -> Download & play PoE.
How is that hard?

I mean, sure, native would be even better, for performance alone, but PoE is definitely one of the best running games on Proton right now (at leat post Proton 4.2). Most of the problems reported on ProtonDB are actually bugs/performance issues of the game itself (like heavy stuttering when shit hits the fan) which happen on Windows as well.
I'd know, I played on both platforms for dozens of hours ;)

I'll definitely give it another go, for the turn-based mode alone.
Should really improve the experience, especially later on as the game became extremely chaotic when everyone was slinging ten spells with twelve explosions and fourteen status effects per second...

Man... fixed function pipelines.
That's what I had to learn back then for 3D programming, back before there were programmable shaders. Good old times!

Oh, my.
These "China bad!" posts are kinda funny, no matter where they pop up and no matter how far from any topic they are.
It's like rule 34, but for games: "No matter what you are discussing, at some point, someone will try to turn the discussion into 'China bad'".

This isn't usually my type of game, but I have such fond memories of Marble Madness that I'll likely give this one a try. Once it is finished.

Funny, currently playing Minecraft again with the new patches.
And once I do go diving with a Dolphin there, I might consider that done and move on to see what's new in Starbound ;)

Quoting: 14

Quoting: TheSHEEEPNow we just need to wait the usual two years until the first 14 big patches and four full-priced DLCs make the game great!
Worked with EU4, worked with Stellaris, I have no doubt it will work here...

When wasn't Stellaris great?

Any point before the Star Trek: New Horizons mod came out ;)

More seriously, though, the 2.2 update really turned the game around. From "Well, this is nice for some easy space LARPing" (which, admittedly, was pretty great to begin with for that) to "Wow, I actually need to plan things now and cannot just click random buttons!".
And that wasn't the first "game changing" update.

Over time, all the Paradox grand strategy games tend to become something that only resembles the initial version on the surface.
