  • It's been a while since I gave it a shot myself. I haven't fiddled with "The Great Old Ones" on Linux since back in the late 90's. So you're likely more of a proper authority on the matter than I.

  • Just Windows PC. There's a few of them that people have tried to get to run on Linux over the ages, but success rates varies.

  • I miss those

  • Obligatory short list of great old school RPGs:

    Fallout 1 & 2

    Baldur's Gate 1 & 2

    Icewind Dale

    Planescape Torment

    (I think Neverwinter Nights belongs on the list as well, but I can't attest to it as I've never played it.)

    You can pick up most of them from GOG.COM for cheap.

    There should be enough to keep you occupied for a while.

  • Nah, there doesn't seem to be a problem simply writing nasty comments. Personally I'd prefer getting downvoted to hell than a 'pile-on' in the comments spewing bile.

  • Just trying to cover my bases so no one thinks it's a legitimate opinion.

  • I guess it depends on the piece. Is the movie trying to be entertainment or art?

    In the end It's a visual medium as well audiotory. And therefor you have a several ways to achieve your message and vision.

    From the picturesque to basic exposition throu dialog. Music is another factor that can elevate a movie to new hights.

    Both 'Dune' and 'We Need To Talk About Kevin' rely mainly of visual storytelling. But do so in vastly different ways.

    But take the typical Steven Spielberg movies from the hight of his career and you can see how much he leans on the music score to achieve his vision.

    But it all comes down what type of movie the director wants to make.

    Addendum: I will admit that well written characters and dialog isn't as easy to come by in Hollywood media. But movies that mainly focus on the writing and are great do exist.

  • That goes for quite a few pvp games.

    The best camouflage is noob skin, they'll never know what hit them.

  • Blade Runner was also a book adaptation: 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"

    Although the movie does take some liberties with the source material.

    But that aside, I felt 2049 kinda missed the point that BR tried to make by trying to adress the questions posed with a wildly simplified answer.

    Philosophical conundrums are typically supposed to be thought about, not solved.

  • I think I'd rather point at the original Blade Runner. The sequel fell a bit short for me in comparison.

    Ofcause that's just my opinion.

  • Subnautica and Raft are my go-to relaxed-fuzzy-happy games. Being able to do things at my own pace and just noodle around with whatever I feel like is nice.

  • Or just have their negative belief confirmed.

  • rule

    Jump
  • I feel like Deodorants and Perfumes for men aren't as much of a choice as it is chosen for us. There's like two main smells, "Old Sweat" and "Motor Oil". Anything other than that is just variations of "Drain Cleaner Citrus".

    Like clothes for men, the selection feels so limited.

  • That's more of a battle between players. The more we buy mtx, the more will be shoved in and the less actual game for everyone.

    The best Larian can do is keep being a better example.

  • As I understand it, it's to get out of Disneys iron clad contracts.

    Disney values it's family friendly image very much. And it's the only way to get out of what is close to a slave contract.

  • I'm going to assume you mean when they were young. (As I am not a young person anymore)

    Ever read or watched 'Christiane F: Wir Kinder Auf Bahnhoff Zoo'?

    That was pretty much my moms life when she was young.

  • Yeees, let's shit on people who spend money in their hobby and use their computer for more than just running overhyped games at medium settings.

    I am so tired of these attempts at justification for "Console Elitism."

    Yes, you bought a cheap shit product because you don't have the money or knowledge to build, or operate, a proper computer. Congratulations, you're part of Sony/MS's primary demographic.

  • Frank Herberts "WorShip" (aka Pandora Sequence) series should fit the bill. At the very least the first two books, 'Destination: Void' and 'The Jesus Incident'.

    The basic premise goes something like:

    Humanity shot off into space to find another planet to live on. To survive the journey serious advanced AI needs to be created. AI shenanigans ensue. Humans are dumped on a super hostile planet, highly unfit for human life. As one of humanities last lifelines the AI demands to be worshipped as a god.
