Go-On-A-Steam-Train

As much as I’m a proud Linux user and Microsoft aren’t at all in line with my values, I upvoted as this is massively relevant to the world of retro computing, and I found it interesting. :)

Guessing a lot of folks will have reflexively downvoted based on the red rag that is the word Microsoft, but nice to read historical stuff like this, thank you for sharing it! :)

Avowed is still going strong! Loving it! :)

I may have flatpacked it because I’m too impatient for the official apt-get to have 3.0 :) I then remembered I have no art skills and closed it after drawing squiggles :)

I appreciate the thing Obsidian do where they seem to make things in parallel so there’s constantly income (in theory) - hopefully still do good games and it’s a way to stop layoffs after projects end. :)

This is brilliant! :) aw, I hope it benefits the OpenRA developers and means more fun things to play eventually :)

Wait… this is EA… are they okay? This is very unlike them

Yeah… I got a disappointed look… 😂 thank you, excellent

I really enjoyed the game, but… I did lose despite having fully solved the case and got a confession. Maida told me it was okay to do, but it wasn’t?

thanks for making and sharing this! :) I’m playing now

edit:

i saw a funky thing in one of my chats:

but that’s it so far!

That sounds brilliant! In case you don’t get your chance to boogie through a game, your idea reminded me of Party Pal in Wasteland 3 - a bringer of joy to my many battles!

I have been waiting for the AEW Wrestling game Fight Forever to be cheap, and am having a lovely time! It’s very fun to play, and has an okay roster (i got DLC with it).

I wouldn’t be thrilled with buying on release at £50 and then £80 on DLC, but under 20 for the lot seemed okay :) definitely not perfect, but a fun game with some cool details. :)

Omg shadow of memories! What a pick :) great game that I’ve heard barely anyone talk about :)

It feels like the rules to say an official english translation for Mother 3! Loved playing it (if Nintendo read this I did not play it)

Guiltily I’d also love a WWF Smackdown or Here Comes the Pain remaster, same arcade gameplay, same roster, or updated but just prettier and expanded! :)

Being entirely honest, I would be on board with any tekken game that didn’t do season passes and DLC. :) The classics were great, and the newer games are fun too, and I’d still be playing the new games if not for that.

That said, I’d love a modern tekken 3 - I’d even be fine with a reskin of 8 that had those characters looking like they did (why not, maybe some extra ones too), volleyball, force mode etc.*

There’s interest from me if they don’t paywall stuff in what’s already an expensive game. :)

*i know my “just a reskin of 8” clashes directly with adding game modes, but I think I’d like them in there if it’s a hypothetical remake.

On TV, that mouse pulled out that cat’s lungs and played them like a bagpipe. But in the next scene, the cat was breathing comfortably.

I also can imagine New Vegas being “well, I’m going to play for a few hours… oh god it’s been four months!”

I had absolutely unplanned that pun, but I’m thrilled it’s there!😅 Thank you!

Yay! Glad you’re enjoying it so far :)

I can also say the past month or two rocking Mint have been a breath of fresh air, everything feels fast and I’ve only had one GOG game not run (think I could with some effort) :)

Even the Unity game engine works, and debugs, it’s lightyears ahead of my previous goes at Mint over the years (and they only “ended” because of needing music software for college and uni!)

Hope it continues to treat you well! Also you may wish to indulge in the greatest Linux feature I know, which is Wobbly Windows - it makes your windows wobbly when dragged, which is very enjoyable for reasons I am not sure of! :)

In case anyone is following this: Eurogamer are reporting that Game have denied this.

I really hope game will still sell… games, but am cynically wondering if they are measuring the reaction from this to make a decision. :/

Oh fantastic! :) Thank you, next playthrough I will get things going on Linux in that case, as that’s new to me! :) Like a fool I tried nexus mods vortex in Wine initially because I didn’t know better!

I can second this! For me it meant that I could finish my game of modded fallout new vegas, and connect to my work’s microsoft vpn nonsense (IT support didn’t fancy trying it on Mint but that’s another story!)

I now have a personal OS that I like, and a windows partition for those few things that I can’t be bothered to troubleshoot.

So far the list is just those things and the Unity Engine as Visual Studio debugs better than code in my experience. :)

Having the option to flick back is great :) In the XP days, I loved the WUBI(?) tool that let you install ubuntu dual boot as an exe, but I think that’s not a thing these days., :)

Heck yes! Earthbound! One of those games I felt was made perfectly to my taste :) funny, quirky, slightly uncomfortable… All great. :)
