Try to get the deluxe version with the Mooncrash DLC, as the DLC alone is often expensive.

I am not sure about this conspiracy theory of yours: Microsoft does not want third party applications in the kernel space anymore.

I don’t understand this point.

Linux does support TPM and secure boot: https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot#What_is_UEFI_Secure_Boot.3F

I thought the problem for Linux players was “just” the kernel anticheat ?

Ah yes correct.

Thanks for the lengty review, this game is also on my radar.

There has been a big review in the french game magazine CanardPC: they praised its originality but warned for its difficulty and “unfairness”.

I think this is made by the same studio as The Invincible.

There was this post on Reddit listing some PRs opened by AI at .NET: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/1krttqo/my_new_hobby_watching_ai_slowly_drive_microsoft/?share_id=ks1HasJ2tqDuCOW6TCYTz

It’s pretty funny and depressing at the same time…

Awesome idea. In base 64 to deal with all the funky characters.

It will be really nice to browse this filesystem…

Well she is having fun now, but soon it’ll be my turn enjoying the life, tinkering the Steam Deck to configure the emulators. Bliss!

Thanks for the Cassette Beasts recommendation. It was already on my wishlist but I’ll bump it up.

Thanks for the news!

Since I am in holidays, away from my gaming computer, I’ve only played Bloons TD6 and a bit of Vampire Survivors…

On the other hand, my daughter took my new Steam Deck and played:

• Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara. A nice platforming game, a bit small on the screen of the Deck.
• Monster Sanctuary. A Pokémon-like Metroidvania, with turn-based battles alla old Final Fantasy games. This one is perfect for the Deck.

Some interesting answers.

EDIT: even better.

And the viruses that write themselves to the boot sectors of the hard drive?

Does anyone have an idea what would happen if one runs a Windows virus with Wine ?

Good, now make the engine open source Iike Carmack did for Doom 2 & 3 🤪

/s it will never happen as this game, although being great, is full of proprietary frameworks/3rd party libs.

Yes the first dives in Dave the Diver are wonderful with the beautiful pixel art.

But I found this game deeply disturbing: you kill the most fish possible to make the most money possible, but not the dolphins because they are cute. I found this game is a perfect symbol of the overproductivism of our era, while the earth is dying. I know it’s just a game, but the fact the game creator are not even aware of the philosophy their game is carrying, left a bitter taste in my mouth.

And yeah, the game is full of FOMO even in their dlcs, and the huge amount of collabs with other overly popular game make me think, in the end, it’s a pure empty marketing vessel. An it’s fake indie !

Dave the diver DLC is limited in time AND not free…Ouch ! I am glad I have lost interest in the game :)

I am playing 3 games in parallel:

• Battlefield 4. Discovered only 2 months ago. The game is 10 years old and the server have, at best, only 2000 people in it 😂. But it is great and achievements hunting is fun, quick quick before the servers close !
• Control. It feels like “x-files, the game”. It’s mysterious, confusing and after all, enjoyable. The art direction and the fights are great.
• Gris, my small game for the evening. Not really started but it’s the replacement for my previous small game The Gardens Between which was …ok. Enjoyable and short.

Ah, and I have ordered my Steam Deck 🙈

When gog (or the publisher) delists a game, is it like on steam ? I.e. if you “own” the game before the delisting, you can still play it afterwards?

At first I found achievements a bit ridiculous, like in the old days at school where you received an image if you did good.

In the meantime, some smart achievements forced me out of my play style and made me try things I would never had the idea of trying. Those are the best achievements for me. The game with such achievements that triggered the achievement crazyneness of mine was Trine 2 😁

Thanks I’ll have a look.

Unfortunately, my personal curse is the love of achievements 😅, and heroic support of them with GOG is still a little bit lacking. But with the new comet support with overlay in heroic, hopefully it will change soon.

Thanks for the really interesting mish mash of information 😁

You are a Linux gamer with a love for GOG. May I ask how are you accessing GOG games on Linux/Steam Deck: Lutris? Heroic?
