The GOG winter sale is on, you can grab Grim Fandango Remastered for free

I bought Sunless Sea Zubmariner (finally), after getting the base game from GOG Connect, nice! Will try it soon. I played the base game a long time ago, it was awesome. Zubmariner and the base game are both on sale.

All joint together are probably the best classic style graphic adventure I have tried in quite a few years :)

Does GOG really support Blackwell Deception and Blackwell Epiphany on Linux?!?
Seems I can already make good use of my account created just yesterday? :)

One more question of a GOG newbie:
Is it possible to set my favorite OS to only get matching recommendations?

Yes, we do, and yes, you did :)

No, however the website will inform you in the shopping cart view if you try to buy a game without Linux support :)

That's cool! These are very good little games (<= recommendation) and I was sad I couldn't finish the series yet. May I ask how you accomplished this? Some kind of Dosbox behind it? It seems the developer couldn't port the games...

How does it know that wouldn't match my taste? Or do you mean it's displaying the supported OSs?

I added a Lutris installer for Dragon Age™: Origins - Ultimate Edition recently.

Will add more as I get time :)

Linux magic ;)

If you buy on Linux, it informs you if you try to buy a game that isn't compatible with Linux.

Has anyone tried this 'Buy a Star' thing? I'm a bit reluctant, expecting that as Linux-only user there might be lots of (for me) useless things in the pot...

It's a lucky bag, right? There's so much I'd really love to play and don't find the time for, I won't risc it.

I'm done with GOG thanks to their Linux Galaxy client farce.

Perhaps you have noticed, that there are other ways to keep your installations on-track? And updates are not always welcome when changing games too much. So why having some client to manage this? :D

I find Steam so much easier to manage my installed games, perhaps I'm missing something but my non-steam Linux games tend to get forgotten and end up just wasting space. Its also not just the file management, but the cloud game saves for peace of mind, auto-updates, screenshots and the like.

Steam is leagues ahead of GOG now, so I always use that instead. Also Valve has been very good to Linux gamers and has been helping promote Linux gaming, where GOG and CDPR have been breaking promises and ignoring Linux for a long time, so I'd rather fund Valve than a company that has no real interest in Linux.
