Surviving Mars would be neat.

Spoiler, click me

It's the story of a penguin who used to breath from is ass.
One day, he sat on the floor, and he died.

Agreed, it's a very nice game. I bought it while in alpha, and played it several times since then, but despite my effort, it never managed to catch my relatives's attention.

I'm not sure i like that. Paradox may be quite Linux friendly, but they are becoming big, and big stuff tend to act like they own the world. I prefer to deal with several little studios, and that's why i mostly play indi games rather than large "AAA" ones.

Quoting: GuestIt is based on real world values, like a foot, a cup, a handful, etc. To call it nonsense means ignorant or uneducated.

Not sure if trolling or not... So, if we meet and trade, i would use my wife's hand to pay your gold, and my hand to grab an handful of seeds, thanks. Metric has its flaws, i agree, but...

Anyway, i won't answer more on this topic, it would be way too far from the article...

I don't care about the device for my personal usage, but as it runs on Linux, i completly feel OK to read about it on the website.

QuoteAs for the size of it, the dimensions are 14.5" x 5.3" x 1.6" with a weight of 3 lbs. So it's small, light and it looks pretty good. Honestly wouldn't mind one of those sat next to my TV.

Would you mind using international metric system, and not this nonsens empiric not-scientifically-based mesures ?

I think Steam is more easy on the refund. I've refunded maybe 30 games, some several times to see if they were improved, some i knew i didn't want to play, but i wanted to see a piece of them to get the feel... Not sure i could do that on GoG, but maybe, i don't know.

Well, it's not a great game anyway, so it's "normal" to have low numbers every where. It's not a bad game neither, thought.

Also, Linux games should/must come Day1 or very close to Day1. Too many games are on the way, and it's usually more attractive for many to play "the same game as the neighbour". If Linux comes 6 months later, in the meantime i probably will have many other similar games to pick from, so why should i look back ?

I mean, alright, if you are a late buyer, you have a more stable, patched, balanced games, most of the time, but you are also a lone one.

I really prefer itchio client over Steam client, even if i have much more games on Steam, because of how massive and popular is Steam, and many games i like simply don't exist outside of Steam.

But i tend to pick my games on itch whenever i can.

Then i would go to Humble, Steam and lastly, on GoG (i think they consider Linux users without much care, with not up to date games, absence of Galaxy, etc).

Steam still has one big advantage left over the others so far : you can get a refund.

Already bought, played, enjoyed, advertized, and i'm only waiting for full release to replay it to avoid being "burned" while in Early Access.

I really liked it so far.
