Damn, that sucks.
Caves are a truly dangerous thing to explore.

Great! I switched to Manjaro for my main desktop a while ago and everything (except adding other input types like Chinese) has been so much easier and faster than Ubuntu.
Though I'll also give PopOS a try at some point, see how that fares in comparison.

I tried XFCE for a while, but it lacks some very basic functionality like window previews - yeah, you can add compiz to the mix to get that, but those always seem to be at odds with each other and then you end up having various places to make changes in for layouting, etc. instead of just one centralized menu. And the alleged better performance is nothing anyone with a gaming rig would need to begin with.
Still like it better than GNOME, but that's not saying too much, as GNOME... ugh.

So for me it is definitely KDE, at least until XFCE gains some more features I want. Anything except adding Chinese input has been smooth sailing with no problems whatsoever.

I once had a Marble Madness-like dream that lead me to theorycraft a game called "The Unlovable Ball".

Really good for them that Epic is even slower in bringing out new features ;)

Anyway, it really does look better - and I hope it will let me disable that "recent news" section (or it will be gone altogether), as all that gets filled with is "quality journalism" from RPS and the likes.
Not exactly interested in reading the latest political hot takes in my Steam library...

Some routers just suck.
For some of those routers, there is custom firmware, though... but that of course might get you in trouble if it is just a rented model and actually belongs to your provider, etc.

I also found that the choices & consequences approach doesn't work too well for adventure games.
Those games are driven by their story, art and puzzles. Neither of which is something that is fun to repeat just in order to reach some parts you did not see yet.
It works for other games, RPGs usually, as those are driven by gameplay that can be repeated and is still fun when doing so, even if you already know the story and art.

Still, game's on my wishlist either way. I really loved Fran Bow.

Quoting: Zlopez

Quoting: TcheyI can't believe after all these years, no other game manage to catch the same feeling from Black & White.

Even the Black & White II failed in this.

And Black & White I was a gigantic mess to begin with.
A great idea, really, and unique, but it had so many problems in all areas...

Maybe an open source engine can fix some of them, as was the case with OpenXCom.

Quoting: joaojottawith your bear hand

Sorry, I had to.

My typo of this is beer hands, often enough...

Well, not sure what exactly to expect of this (the blog is very, very vague on the mechanics), but any improvement to sieges is welcome.
Might also make more battles worthwhile to actually duke out (in a normal game, I just auto-resolve 90% of battles) - both if you hold such a fort against a superior force and if you try and take one, and might have to manually fight a losing battle just to inflict as many losses as possible and take it with your second try.
