Good stuff from Daedalic Entertainment here as they've released State of Mind today with full Linux support. This Unreal Engine powered adventure game will see you explore a world on edge, as natural resources are running low, crime is on the rise and there's a lot of pullution in the air and water.

Quoting: LeonardKThey're really supportive there and maybe now they have time to look into my patches for their first Edna and Harvey installment to maks it run on Linux natively (they told me they had something "big" to release first) :pThey will release a remastered version of the first Edna in 2019 that will support Linux. They've announced that on their official discord.[/quote]
Cool! Meanwhile I made this: https://gitlab.com/LeonardKoenig/EH-TB_Linux
And why does everyone use discord nowadays :-(

Quoting: LeonardKAnd why does everyone use discord nowadays :-(Because it's currently the best application for IM and group chat and voice chat. The only real competitor (I'm talking primarily feature-wise) during the rise of Discord was Matrix and Discord was significantly faster at adding features and capturing the mainstream audience. It's not the most perfect application for those purposes theoretically possible but I stand by that it's simply the best available as well as the best I've ever used.

I honestly don't really see the appeal for this, the most common use-case for discord group chats doesn't seem to be serious chatting anyway but spamming memes :p
So irc or even telegram groups are far superior imho there. And voice chat is usually done by a completely different group, so a different program would do, and those usually do that better. Also I have a big distaste for what a friend called "rainbow-puking javascript shit". It's damn slow, had more crashes since I installed it than any other program and annoys the hell out of me with its shitty user interface. eh.
/rant :)

I don't wish to argue about appeal of discord, I think we've made our cases, but I'm somewhat enthusiastic about UI design and I'm always curious to know what works and what doesn't for other people.

Most importantly it doesn't "fit in" into my environment, doesn't adhere to my themes etc. and completely sticks out.
Also the user interface is mouse-focused or touch, it works with the keyboard but it's far from what I'd want, because I cannot customize the keyboard interface to the amount I'd want. It's also far from responsive, and clutters the UI with unneeded animations or similar bells 'n' whistles
The interface tries to "tell you" what you should click, if you get my point. But I know what *I* want and it annoys the hell out of me.
And finally, something that's not UI but UX related: I have to use the discord-program to use the discord-protocol.

Quoting: TheRiddickFrom what I understand there is no combat in this game?
No. There's a somewhat Heavy-Rain-like aspect of puzzles and some dialogur and some walking/exploring, but it's very, very story driven. So far (thankfully) there hasn't even been any QTEs. It's not that kind of game.
