Have you tested the Itch launcher?

I tried the text-based version a few years ago. Even with the "lazy noob pack" (or whatever it was called), I was still completely overwhelmed by how complicated the rules of the game were. I like the idea of procedurally-generated worlds and stories, so I might give this version a try when it's released and see if it's a little easier to learn.

I got that Tomb Raider port in a sale a few years ago...
Lately I've decided to stick to only buying indie games built with cross-platform engines, and, those seem to run more smoothly.

NFTs seem to me like someone said "you know how artists can thank their Patreon/Kickstarter backers? Let's do that but in a way that is less environmentally friendly and more confusing for non tech people!"

I don't do crowd-funders for video games, but I will keep an eye on this one for when it's released.

I first played SuperTux in 2016. I am glad to see it is now on Steam.

IMO, they would have done a lot better if they clearly advertised from day 1 that you don't need a subscription. The fact that so many people were confused about the cost lead to fewer customers buying in initially, and that led to a loss of AAA publishers porting their games.

Thanks for letting me know about this! I'm going to try this when I get home tonight.

I played it on Android and found it very hard. I'll probably give it another whirl when it comes to Steam.

Quoting: SamsaiI sure wonder what games the "don't put politics in video games" crowd plays. Pong?

Too political. There are black pixels and white pixels right next to each other, which is clearly promoting a desegregationist ideology. Additionally it contains a virtual depiction of a sport, and sports have been political at least since they were forced to acknowledge that black people exist, and they continue to be political since some of them acknowledged that trans people might exist. Oh, and some sports are televised, making them reality TV competitions, which are chock full of politics because of the time a reality TV actor ran for president.

Still it's not as in-your-face about politics as some other games, like chess.
