Quoting: Eribut the game is awesome even if I'm bad at it.

The beginning, the art style and the narrator are awesome, but it is a lot of grind with some grind on top.

Quoting: EriWhich makes me think, would an antiglare tempered glass do the trick without having to replace the screen if you want the coat on the mid and low models?

Probably, although I've read that they add a bit of blur and decrease the sensitivity of the touch screen (although I try to avoid using it as much as possible since removing fingerprints is not that much fun).

Quoting: kuhpunktI guess at this point it would be more fun to just buy all parts with a custom shell, sticks and screen and build it yourself from scratch.

But you can't buy all the parts, right? The last time I checked there was no way to get the main board and – what I was trying to find out more about at that time – no trackpads/haptic motors.

Possible fix for a case where the On-Screen Keyboard could break controller input in games using the desktop overlay.

I've had that bug, but I'm not switching from stable for a possible fix.

Quoting: KieranCrosslandHopefully starfield comes to GOG too!

Probably once there is a sequel or at least 8 years have passed.

Quoting: sulixIn particular, some versions of FMOD detected Pulseaudio by running "pulseaudio --check".

Excellent. That reminds me of some Visual Pinball tables that used ping to create a delay in VBS following a recommendation on stackoverflow.

Yes the story is lacking, but the shooting/looting/building mechanics and the settlement defense mini game is a lot of fun.

Some of the reviews on GOG seem to be due to wrong expectations. Anyone who played Skyrim before Fallout 4 knew what was coming: The focus is on the side quests – explicit or implicit ones.

And calling it garbage Fallout is difficult – what is Fallout? Fallout 1/2 have little in common with Tactics and all of them have little in common with 3 and NV – and even those have a large difference in quality of the main quests.

I've bought the game on Steam after a free weekend – see, demos get people to buy stuff – I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise due to the misleading reviews.

I still haven't completed the main storyline, but most of the side quests. The main quests aren't that interesting and quite frankly after you have so much freedom with the side quests it's weird that you have to really choose a side to finish the game.

Quoting: DMJCEven the big boys like ID software don't bother supporting it anymore.

That's a very weird statement since it seems to imply that this is a recent development. ID software stopped supporting native Linux before the release of Rage with John Carmack stating that wine support was getting good enough so that native release wouldn't be necessary anymore. Note: Rage was released 2011. Back then wine was not as good as it is now and the direct x translation dlls did not exist.

Quoting: GroganP.S. Here's one that at least has some substance:

The second answer to that review basically tells you all that you need to know about the target audience of the game

not reading all that lil bro, the game is fine and you're just bad at it

So in this case I don't think writing real reviews is worth it – especially as I assume that they will all be removed anyway.

Quoting: Calinoubut it doesn't have native Linux support and source code isn't available.

I'm not a huge fan of people using github to host something without any source code.

What's interesting is that the linked article even mentions

I'm not the only one who embarked on a path to restore the game. To my knowledge, there are two other efforts ongoing: WipEout Phantom Edition and a yet unnamed project by XProger. Both offer more features than my rewrite. If you're on Windows and you just want to enjoy the game, these are the better option.
