I see what you mean. I was thinking "old school" more in the textures and color palette. I feel it matches SS1 well (when you can see it).

I replayed SS1 several years ago. It's not that saturated, nor that dark (at least not on that level - engineering is pretty dark). I agree probably due to engine limitations at that time. That or I had the gamma up way too high in dosbox.

I feel the saturation is more a modern artistic direction, no?. Looking at the video reminded me of videos I've seen of games like CP2077. In the SSR video, I could barley make out the enemies.

Maybe I'm too picky. I'll admit I'm excited for the remake. I really like the whole Shock series, especially 1 and 2.

I must admit I like the old school look, but the...contrast? Saturation? I'm not sure on the right word. The brights are too bright and the darks are too dark. I'm not not sure what the right word is. Either way, I feel like it needs to be more in the middle in terms of some ambient lighting.

I liked the puzzle part. That felt a lot like the original. I can't wait to see how they handle the rocket skates!!

Easily one of my favorite games.

I wonder how the ideology system would work mechanically. Hopefully it's just enough to be interesting, bit not so much to force or prefer certian playstyles.

This and the royalty expansion will be my first purchases next year. No doubts about it

Quoting: CatKillerNot just plants. It's an organism that contains more than one distinct genotype (the set of genetic material). Most marmosets are chimeras.

Very cool. I didn't know it existed in the animal kingdom.

Quoting: 14It's like I'm at capacity for this kind of stuff: Steam native, Proton, Lutris, Battle.net, Origin, minigalaxy, itch.io...

Exactly, someone should make one launcher to unify them all!

(Yes, I'm joking... kinda)

Quoting: dubigrasuChimeraOS" might puzzle some, but is less likely to trigger such strong negative reactions overall as "GamerOS" did.

Probably less limiting for the developers, too, as adding a non gaming feature would seem much less taboo.

There are real Chimeras. Not fantastical at all. It's just... They're plants. There might be others but that's all I can remember from school 20 years ago.

I'm not against the idea. Especially for project that can't be incorporated into Debian due to licensing, etc.

Given the number of 3rd part debian repos already out there, I'm not sure how well it'll be adopted, but I really like the idea of a unified 3rd party repo

Quoting: EikeI avoid starting all those big RPGs at the moment due to lack of time. Is it still fun? I think I would forget all the rules, tactics, story, ...

It is! I may be in a slightly different circumstances in that I have little time, but what I do have is regular. Forgetting isn't really a concern. Wasteland 2 is pretty linear story wise and the mechanics are pretty simple/intuitive, so I haven't felt like I'm forgetting anything even if it's been a week or so. It's pretty fun so far, the atmosphere and humor are great so far.

On the other hand, getting into a game can be a problem, especially if it is the type that require time investment to do things (think you're epic TBS or Kerbal Space Program).

Since I'm not buying any games this year, I decided to finish the games I own. I have a bad habit of not finishing games.

So I'm still playing Wasteland 2. Still enjoying it. I don't get a ton of play time, so I think I'll finish it by August.

Great game. Sequel or not, I hope the community continues to support it.
