Quoting: PenglingAnd it's got a fittingly spooky theme, to boot!

True! And frogs are always in season and goes with anything!

This time I bought more games than I care to admit. In my defense I was running out of adventure games and desperately needed to stock up for the winter. Now I have a cozy little nest full of point-and-clickers.

Some of my picks:

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow - Linux native, 25% off. The biggest discount for this title so far?

Last Christmas - 30% off, the first time I have seen this one on sale.

My bonus pick is the first Frog Detective game (30% off, Proton). I only picked it up because it came highly recommended by some Sealand rando (and Lobster Cop wasn't available!)

Quoting: GroganThe surrounding area is rural, with a lot of farms. Some bright minded exec sent shelves and shelves of Farming Simulator boxed games, yet no latest Call of Duty titles and stuff that people actually wanted.

"The game’s creator, Giants Software, estimates that as many as a quarter of its players are connected to farming in some way, and around 8-10% are full-time, professional farmers."

The game is also apparently popular among farmers just for trying out equipment before buying the real thing:

Quoting: PenglingThe Build your own Fall Bundle 2023 is similarly good, as well!

Thanks for the tip! I picked up Catie in MeowmeowLand for a single euro!

Big, big mistake in looking up the G29 on the Logitech website. I couldn't help notice that they have a new set of pedals. Proper ones with a load cell. Well, guess that's the Christmas present for myself sorted...

The pedals was always the weakest point in the G29 package and even though these are the "pro" stuff there's an adapter available for the G-series. Pretty impressive for an eight year old product range.

Seems like the adapter got a serial connection just like the old pedals so I hope drivers wouldn't be a problem?

Quoting: JpxeI don't have a steering wheel. What's a good option that's not to expensive, maybe second hand?

I would think the Logitech G29 (preferably with the new-lg4ff driver.

It's been around since 2015 so should be plenty of second hand units around.

Quoting: LachuWhy option to use dedicated GPU are added? Games like that should not need many GPU power, is not?

It's just a simple one-liner added to the .desktop file, so why not?

You can still download it directly from Blizzard. But you need Battle.net (an account and the software).

I don't think it was offered in any other form, even back in 2017?

Quoting: GroganI'll keep testing. I don't know enough about wine debugging to report it. I'm not getting anything I understand (just the usual invalid page fault crap and a bunch of meaningless offsets etc. without debugging tools). Yes, we know, my game crashed :-)

git bisect?

Those people, armed with dinosaurs? I share the sentiments of EHJ.
