Customization galore

I tried COSMIC about a month or two ago and I was vastly underwhelmed by its customisation options. No clock format, no window decorations,... I know it's not KDE, but I want my clock to show the day of week (for example, Thursday), date in %F format (for example, 1970-01-01), and 24-hour clock without seconds (for example, 00:00).

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (I find it too tiring to play with its incessant boss battles, so I stopped playing at the beginning of Chapter II), The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Red Dead Redemption 2 (that I liked very much !!).

ARC tempted me, but I didn't buy it because it doesn't offer PVE...

Warlock trailer won me over with Forty Six & Two. It's not fair using a Tool song for a game announcement 😂

Good decision. Why damage the brand further with this... thing?

I hope this also means that they can dedicate a bit extra time for the SWKOTOR Remake that, in theory, still have in development...

Edit: Oh, the remake is now with Saber Interactive!

...and these are real stand-alone games only? (meaning without DLCs etc.?)

I've got the first Monster Hunter (Worlds?) which was fun, and was looking forward to Wilds, but you know how I feel about Denuvo. No interest. I think there's a third one too, right? Rise?

If they keep sticking that shitty anti-consumer BS on their games, I'll keep not buying them.

I've just started a Deus Ex run last week! But then, I also started a Thief Gold run... and now I can't decide which to play when I'm in the mood for some retro gameplay!

Seems in line with other Aspyr remasters like the Soul Reaver and Tomb Raider, that just have redesigned models and higher resolution textures. And as has already be told, you can change to the old one, so... Taking into account this is a remaster and not a remake, I don't see why the backlash.

KSP v1 was brilliant, I spent hours playing it.

KSA seems promising, but its funding model concerns me.

On their forum, they say they want to raise $30 million before creating a Linux version !!

This reminds me of Star Citizen and the $900 million that has been poured into this project. After almost 14 years of development and $900 million raised from donors, their game still hasn't been released in its final version. It is more than likely that this money was used to fund the well-being of the CEO of Cloud Imperium Games rather than the Star Citizen game itself. I would be curious to know how many dream homes and luxury cars he has purchased since 2012...

I have much more confidence in Steam's funding model via Early Access !! And I find it hard to understand why the developers at KSA refuse to publish their game on Steam in early access...

Wow. Like one new game a day when Steam on Linux came out and now it's over fifty games per day!

Tomb Raider - Legacy of Atlantis looks like a return to the good old LAU (Legend, Anniversary, Underworld) trilogy, which still are my favorite titles of the series.

I'm still to finish Diablo IV as it didn't click with me the way I hoped (and having to rebuy on Steam therefore waiting for a good deal) but having Mephisto mob influencers and streamers is delightful. Blizzard cinematics still rock.

And getting a new game from Frictional never hurts - Ontos looks really promising.

Quoting: LinasThe style was fine. Also, you can just play the original, if you prefer that. Some people just need to complain about everything.

Consumerism. The 'remaster' looks genuinely worse than the original game from the year 2000. Also it costs (more) money, of course people will be critical.

Statements like these are one of the reasons why we'll never get game as good as Deus Ex again.

This is positive news, you'll now get a better product due to the feedback.

Quoting: hardpenguinOoooh, GamingOnLinux has emojis now?!

😁😄🐧🦊🍕🍫👍🔥

Yep, the comments box and SQL database was upgraded a long time ago to actually support it. But only just had the time to replace and code in an emoji selector that launched last night 🐧👍

I don't mind remasters, just as long as it's clear that it is not going to cost $60 like everything today.

Control Resonant looks great, but I am a bit worried with the change to hack'n slash, hope they can get it right!

I even just recently had a press release enter the GamingOnLinux mailbox that proudly mentioned the game was "100% AI", which went quickly into the bin.

lmao

The only one that caught my eye was the new Star Wars RPG. I just hope they don't screw it up.

Great compilation! Divinity will probably be very good. I am also excited for 007 First Light and slightly interested in No Law.

The reception from the fans was definitely not good which explains a lot.

I had some time off a couple of weeks ago, and pulled the trigger on Avowed. Absolutely stunning game - like a cross between Skyrim's open world and interesting characters, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's visceral combat. The dodge, block, attack almost feels souls-like at times, and some of the fights are just absolutely immense. Incredibly fun game.

Otherwise, just Path of Exile 2 as usual, but the Abyssal League finished a few days ago, and the new Last Druid expansion launches tonight, with a new league kicking off. Can't wait. PoE2 is incredible, I love it.

Oh, maybe thats where the mysterious refund came from, without any hint of where that came from...

Hard to get excited about this when not only is our O/S not supported, but the features are largely locked to the underwhelming 9000 series of cards.

It promises a nice direction of travel, but there's just nothing really tangible yet.

Quoting: Piejacker875antialiasing in this is causing some real nasty artifacting on my system 

What Proton version, GPU and driver are you using?

Been on a Bitburner binge lately, as well as some Valheim with my kids. Plus the odd Factorio and RimWorld sessions.

And of course my go-to game when I want to play something, but don't know what: Sid Meier's Civilization. The only game that's been installed on all my PCs since I got it in 1992 (thank you DosBox (staging)).

How does FEX work in this instance? is this going to allow you to install Android APK packages and run them like a normal app?

Quoting: chrI haven't donated this year to open-source, since I've been unemployed for almost 2 years and family keeps borrowing from me as well. But I really hope I can give something again next year.

You should only give money if you have the opportunity to do so. There are other ways to give back to the community. Like helping people with support or promoting Linux to friends. You and your family comes first. Let's hope next year turns out better yeah?
