Quoting: chancho_zombieBut still that doesn't change my overall negative opinion on the soviets, on latin america they brought us the guerrilla, and funded the Cubans, and the Cuban militias trained local guerrillas like the ones we had here (montoneros), so I have a very negative opinion on the soviets.
(Sorry if I'm being off-topic)

Don't tell the CIA. I'm pretty sure they don't want the "Reds" to get all the credit for the mess in central/southern America.

Probably gonna do a last push in Path of Exile with my brother before the current league ends next week. Also been itching to play my NES again, so might have to plug that in and enjoy some classics of the 8-bit era.

Quoting: riusmaTo the Moon, the game was sitting in my library since December 2016 so I think it's more than time to have a look at it! Not bad so far (about 1 hour in it), sad story with an old console era vibe for the graphics and gameplay! :|

A rare member of the "favourites" category in my Steam library. If you enjoy the style I can warmly recommend Rakuen [External Link].

A line that has been etched into my mind!
Sadly not a whole lot of people get the reference. :|

Quoting: GuestArgh, still needs gnomedesktop as a dependency. As much as I want to try lutris, until that's no longer the case then I simply can't use it. Ah well, still a nice project anyway.

But it's just the library, not the whole desktop, I think? Like a single .so file?

It's a python binding, that pulls in some other things, that ends up pulling in most of the desktop support libraries, and at least for me wants to then include Ruby as well. Most of it is probably there for Debian based distros. I'm just grumbling.

I mean its one guy and his reasons for preferring python are long but if you tune into the linux game cast you ll find him happy to take feedback hes always in the chat there under the handle Stycore

Well, that seems to depend on the feedback. For instance, not so much the discussion surrounding CSD: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/1719 [External Link]

Looks mostly neat. The advanced sorting options and collections looks brilliant, been wanting that for ages, bonus if they act as dynamic playlists in many audio players do and auto-magically add new titles that fit the criteria. Especially if you can do really crazy things like "show me co-op games both me and my brother owns that we haven't played in 1+ years", now that would be both crazy and awesome! (and yeah, I don't expect it to be that powerful, but let a man dream)

But, again with the padding, why this weird padding everywhere? A couple of pixels, certainly, but ~1em padding? I get it on buttons but I don't get it on labels? Seems a bit excessive and takes away from the visual distinction between the two. :S:

Quoting: PatolaWarhammer 40K: Mechanicus is the first game to do justice to the fiction [External Link]

My take: besides the fidelity to actual 40k lore, the most interesting part of the gameplay is that they don't use cover mechanics. So the game is quite agile, you don't stagger your match by holding your units in place. And of course, it has lots of ways to compensate and substitute the lack of cover.

Oh yeah, now that you mention it. I never even reflected that it was designed without cover mechanics when I played. :O

Suffice to say, I apparently never missed them.

Neat!

I agree with ya Liam, Mechanicus is pretty incredible in terms of atmosphere, and I am certainly posed to play a whole lot more of it.

For this weekend though it will be a mix of Crusader Kings 2, Path of Exile and Final Fantasy 14. :D

Also hope you feel better soon! Take care, Liam!

Ooh, first game I got for my first computer, got it from a neighour who could not complete it and got bored of it.

I had yet to learn English and was only in fourth grade, so I never managed to complete it despite trying a number of times. Might be a good time to give it another try. :)
