I think it would be nice if the person that redeemed drlamb's gift would post something.

Overcooked 2 is Windows-only on GOG. Too bad. I guess they don't want my money. :-(

Quoting: liamdaweTheir entire Linux section is basically a rip of our content. I am aware of it, not a huge amount I can do but try to get to their webhost which isn't easy when their info is hidden.

It's like a pupil copying an essay from Wikipedia changing some words to claim that it is an original work.

E.g. their Forager article ends with “It was alleged to have a Linux model on GOG too however it's now solely displaying for Windows weirdly.” while your original is “It was supposed to have a Linux version on GOG too but it's now only showing for Windows weirdly.”. Also your “grab” became “seize”.

Shameless.

Spoiler, click me

At least they use your affiliate links for GOG and Humble.

Quoting: hardpenguinBlendo Games is such nice company, supporting Linux with multiple titles. I still remember how big deal it was to me when Atom Zombie Smasher was first available on Linux in one of the Humble Indie Bundles :)

I really have to play Atom Zombie Smasher again.

Quoting: KohlyKohl(…)Why would you want the same game again? Changing the formula is a great thing for gaming.

I haven't played the second game, but I've watched some videos of it. IMO the first game is different compared to all the other train games because it does not focus on distribution of goods. The second game seems like a run of the mill train game, only not as deep. I'd rather play the first game or OpenTTD/Industriegigant/etc.

Quoting: KohlyKohlImagine if they didn't add heroes to Warcraft III?

That's the game that stopped my interest in the genre. To me, the heroes are a distraction. They are great for the single player campaign (better than StarCraft's approach) or special maps that focus only on heroes.

I still regret buying the game on Steam before any other purchase options turned up.

I know. He was on a “?” node. Unfortunately I forgot that I had a 10% healing potion and died on the last turn before he would have died with -4 health with a bit of bad luck with card draw. As I had more than 130 hp, I could have survived if I had remembered that potion before I clicked “next”.

Quoting: KlaasFinally.

Worth the wait, I assure you!

I've died several times already. Have you encountered that weird tentacled enemy with 999 health on the third floor?

And they've manged to upload a version without the “BETA” label in the main menu.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyHuh. Somehow I was under the impression that video streams were compressed, and so just how detailed the actual picture was (as opposed to the number of pixels) might be relevant to how compressible it was. (…)

That's definitely the case if the frames contain lots of moving noise e.g. falling snow. An easy example to see the problem is a classic Doom stream on a map that contains the texture FIREBLU (e.g. E3M6 Mt. Erebus) and the image quality drops while the bitrate explodes.
