I highly recommend this game. I have two timelines currently, but no doubt I’ll create more.

In my first timeline in largely less aggressive. Started out with stealth bunkers, helping the homeless and generally avoiding fights.

My second timeline I went in much more aggressively. Torment Nexus instead of commercial VR for example, stealing capturing their mechs etc.
Early on I gave the researchers write access to my brain and had to eradicate homelessness. Did that while fighting of slum lords until they fixed the coercion :) In turn I bulldozed all megabuildings with the people I had sheltered.
I’ve also survived an invasion of an ExoCorp (not that big a deal on normal) and I’m currently cleaning up the civil war I started by crashing the economy.

They could easily make their own store with the original prices and increase the price on Steam to cover those 30%.

Tbf, there were no alternatives at the time when most people moved here. Now there is one with Piefed, I really should move my server.

I’m curious how you define halfway through. It’s somewhat difficult if you’re on your first first play through.

Idk, I found the writing pretty boring and sometimes Aloy is just an asshole for no reason.

That’s 8, so also 10

Am I weird for rounding 8 to 10??

Sorry, its, its, its

Simple test, replace it like this: their competition, their customers or their employees

No more Ashes of the Benchmark

The publishers aren’t indie, but they publish lots of indie games. Assuming you define indie as not big established studio instead of how they are published.

It’s been years since they last promised a Linux client.

The discovery algorithm runs through Bluesky servers and is extremely resource intensive to self host.

Disclose the exact uses and let customers decide

Recycling sounds suspiciously like what “AAA” studios already do

I have the Hifiman HE400se headphones. They’re open-back, so pretty wide soundstage. They use planar magnetic drivers, unlike most headphones which use dynamic drivers. Both technologies can be good, but the construction is different and they have different strengths. Here’s an explainer from rtings

Or BGP

I think I’d want something between normal and hard difficulty. Normal makes most fights trivial when you hit most QTEs, while hard kills you on single QTE fails almost.

I haven’t really enjoyed JRPG combat, so this mix works really well for me

Unfortunately not an actual group of ants

I provided the example of Krita in another comment.

You’re only required to match deals outside Steam if you sold Steam keys. I haven’t found any other clause online.

You can though

Devs are still free to sell their game outside of Steam and charge whatever price they want for that version

Official client and support for my platform of choice is a big plus only Steam bothers to have.

Not every game can be a Terraria

So that’s why I had one update stuck on Steam yesterday.

They don’t know how to pause it during legal proceedings either

Favourites

Witcher 3

Witcher 3 was one of the first “big games” I got to experience. I still think of the characters occasionally and it has some very memorable quests. It’s been on my “to replay” list for a while to see if it still holds up against my memories of it.

Nier: Automata

This is another early “big game” I played, though I didn’t finish it then. I won’t spoil it, but at some point I was up against a boss, way under levelled and didn’t feel like grinding. However I started a new playthrough this year, got further along and it’s still very good. The story telling and world building are simply excellent, combat is fun (except a certain section I won’t spoil) and I really want to see what else happens in my current play through. My only gripe is that keyboard & mouse sucks without an overhaul mode, which unfortunately doesn’t work on Linux.

Other games

I couldn’t think of a third game, so here’s a list of other good games that don’t quite make it.

• Cyberpunk 2077: I like it, but it hasn’t really had as much of an impact as my two favourites.
• Baldur’s Gate 3: Very good contender for my 3rd favourite spot, but I need to play through it a bunch more times.
• Dishonored: I haven’t thought of this game in a while. It’s still very good, just not a contender for favourite.
• Skyrim: One of my higher playtime games, but I see it more as a modded sandbox à la Minecraft that’s fun for 2 weeks.
• Receiver 2: Very neat gun mechanics with an important central message
• 1000xResist: Interesting story and message, though you won’t play this for the gameplay. Some awe inspiring visuals occasionally

EasyAntiCheat and BattleEye work on Linux thanks to Valve’s efforts. Unfortunately many devs explicitly deny Linux or only allow the Steam Deck.

Most other countries don’t do punitive damages, only compensatory. That makes winning in a judgment much less lucrative than in the US.

Love the headline. Great to see publications directly call out bullshit

I agree that having more degrees of usage would be useful, but erring on the side of caution and declaring any AI use as a first step is better than doing nothing.

Do still sign if you can, some signatures might turn out to be invalid and we need a buffer against that.

Awesome! Now let’s get the EU one as well, much closer than before now. (840’000)

That’s where you’re wrong

Any total war game really, you also get the fun of actually commanding an army.

They need to create some new Creation Engine bugs first

Why is this newsworthy?

So man others have tried this, I somehow doubt Microsoft will fully manage it either.

Nowadays, you as a game dev have to actively block Linux through anticheat or do some extremely weird stuff for it not to work on Linux anyways.
