If you're having trouble running Imperator: Rome, a patch should hopefully be out next week

Those aren't the only problems they've had. I have followed the user reviews percentage and the positives have been dropping day by day to 41% as of today. Seems like people aren't that impressed with the gameplay...?

In the puzzler 'Baba Is You', you mess with the rules and it's out now

This sounded perfect in every way - also Polygon recommends it [External Link], RPS puts it on the Bestest Bests liste [External Link] - and then I started noticing people referencing Stephen's Sausage Roll and sokoban in general. My brain loves word and logic puzzles but if there's a spatial dimension to it, it just up and quits :/

Quoting: brokkrI forced myself to go back and read about each one of these and rejoice... but I won't lie: My first reaction was to do a quick scroll and be sad that Into The Breach is still nowhere to be seen :( Liam, can't you nudge Subset into telling us if they still mean to follow through on their promises?
Oh I've tried, they don't seem to reply to me. I'm not reading into it much, they said all along Linux would be later since they felt overworked when they did releases together before. I would be very surprised if they didn't go through with it.
Well, thank you for not letting them forget it then :) I'm sure it will materialize all of a sudden as an unexpected early Christmas present.

Dead Cells is getting a huge free update 'Rise of the Giant' that's due soon, available for testing

Quoting: EhvisBut if you haven't gotten past a boss, then you still have plenty of content waiting from the base game as well. So in that sense it's not really something specific to a DLC.
Yes and no. It's true that it's not specific to the DLC - they already creating the majority of the content for the minority of the playerbase - but here they're doubling down on it by dedicating even more work to the very limited amount of players who make it to the end. How about more content that makes the start of any run - short or long - more appealing? Like they're already doing with the two separate paths in level 2 (ramparts? and basement? I think). This makes having to start over less obnoxious because of greater variety. That's a brilliant idea that I would still appreciate more of if I were to become a DC master.

I don't turn my nose up at free content but it does baffle me a bit that when roguelites add more content, it's inevitably catering to the hardcore. With 20 hours in Dead Cells and still no bosses conquered, I officially suck at it and have put it aside for now (although I enjoyed my 20 hours of suck). I can definitely see myself returning for new content that was actually accessible to me. New content at the end of the rainbow on the other hand is worth well, nothing.

Linux hardware vendor Entroware has unleashed Hades, their first AMD CPU desktop

Quoting: GuestLooks really good. But...if i would buy one i would want an AMD GPU sooo. Remind me when they offer AMD and not only Nvidia.
If you just want the case, it's definitely a Fractal Design one. With those dimensions, I'd say probably the Fractal Define C.
