Since aur has been mentioned several times: The main page of the aur states in bold font

I'm not sure what the other documentation (e.g. the wiki) states at the current time, but when I last checked which is probably two digit number of years ago – it explicitly told you to check the PKGBUILD files.

Btw. if anyone else is wondering which of the games features the sewing machine gun – it's Fashion Police Squad.

Two things come to my mind:

1. The way they treated the composer – although there are (obviously) conflicting reports trying to redirect blame – I tend to believe his very long writeup of the development process of the sequel. If I were to ignore that then there is still…
2. Considering how old the game is and how many times it has been bundled (e.g. on Fanatical) and highly discounted the current price is not impressive.

Looks like a sewing machine…

Forgot to mention that I'm very happy that this does not run on GameMaker (like APICO), but uses LÖVE/Love2d.

Bought it yesterday with the (bundle) discount for APICO owners and played till I reached the first two generations dream portal lock.

I'm still not sure if playing as a human would have been a better idea. A frog that selectively breeds frogs feels weird to me.

APICO seems to have better base of operations scaping: I've expanded the pier outside of the starting building with the trader and put most of the appliances in that region but having composters spread around everywhere makes it feel a lot less tidy and coherent. It definitely has a stronger focus on discovering how to reach all parts of the world compared to APICO.

That quote is weird. The whole issue was and is not about speed. The problem is that fsync is broken by design, so no more manual disabling to avoid crashes in certain games.

How do we collectively feel about the expansions of the first part?

Spoiler, click me

I don't remember the names, but I do know that one was okay and the other not.

I like the base game – F.E.A.R. – although there are too many concrete surfaces. What I hugely dislike is the combination of the weapon limit and the ammo limit. There are too many fun things that don't work due to ammo limitations. If you could collect ammo for guns that you don't have, it wouldn't be as annoying.

Also the font size: The text is too small.

I'm not sure. Dredge is mostly focussed on exploration and catching at least one of each type of fish. There is not much else except the atmosphere and the story.

I'm sceptical that there is any benefit when the games are run through wine. I remember reading that they broke the installer of one of the Lego games with the recent preservation program update.
