Man, the animation is on point. Not a genre I normally go for, but the story might pull me in. Will need to see some gameplay at release.

This is Fate Hunters if anyone else is wondering.


Seems like an odd situation. It looks more like a Hearthstone clone to me.

It reminds me of the xkcd Time comic in a way. Very intriguing, but I don’t want to go down that kind of rabbit hole and spend so much time on it ^_^

I was hoping it would be something like this - i.e. they kept track as intended but weren’t properly reporting it. Glad this was caught and made clearer for developers.

Quoting: RTherenI am going to buy it for the soundtrack alone (which is done by Master Boot Record, and it's bloody awesome)

I probably won’t get the game, but the soundtrack is almost a given (there are a few of his albums I didn’t buy, but it’s a really solid discography overall).

I’ve been watching some custom machine showcases during my breaks since yesterday and while I don’t exactly see myself playing the game, it’s amazing to see what people have come up with and what the simulator can do.

I tried it out last night and wow, I really like the combat mechanics, and the way you build and deplete your deck. I was worried when I read that cards were single-use but it really works with the way you obtain them and the fact that they’re not as unique as in other deck-builders.

Nice to see Goblinz continuing to release every game on Linux. I'll have to give this one a try.

I’m so confused by the mix of gameplay styles and graphics, the visual quality of the 3D cutscenes vs the retro look of the interface, the old-school Fallout meets Final Fantasy (?) combat interface versus the Icewind Dale-esque exploration and dialogues, and the fact that it’s being advertized as a point-and-click and puzzle game on top of all that. Some parts look like they might have been made by an indie studio, but the trailer conveys a sense of the game being massive, deep and having high production values, and they have a big name like Mick Gordon on soundtrack duty. I’m utterly confused, but intrigued.

Quoting: SonataAlso I think the "beginner distros" (if you wanna call them that) have come far enough you could easily give them to your grandmother or someone who only needs a laptop/computer for light office work and browsing the web.

Can confirm that my mother has been using Mint for a few years now and there’s no functional difference for her except not having to deal with Microsoft’s egregious bullshit :) I just run software updates for her once in a while (not that she wouldn’t be able to do it herself if she bothered) and whenever she needs tech support it’s usually for software-specific bugs, nothing too specific to using Linux rather than Windows.

Heck, even when her system had issues returning from screensaver mode (not sure if it was lmdm, lightdm or something else) and I gave her a command line fix to restart her session, she said she didn’t mind having to type a few words in a console every so often compared to using Windows. That was a shock.
