I have managed to get it running quite well in Lutris, and it would need my recommendation to use over Heroic Games Launcher - the latter tries to run the game in Windows version of DOSBox through Wine, whereas the former has a ready-made script for configuring the Linux-native DOSBox for this particular game.

Controls may still be wonky (DOS era games didn’t have the niceties of unified XInput interfaces), but I’ve worked around it by using Steam Input remapping to have the left joystick simulate mouse movements.

Very cheeky of them, so much radio silence, followed by “it’s out in three days”. 😁 Looking forward to setting what kind of magic they’re going to pull with the Build engine this time!

I gather, policy as written, that apart from bulk data collection, this also inadvertently prohibits usage of any alternative front-ends, such as Nitter? Does it also stop any archival (akin to Wayback Machine) from happening against their service?

A lot of people are going to discuss it; it took me all of three minutes to find several articles covering the problematic nature of this fictional character - it’s not a matter glossed over, and I agree with you that it should not be glossed over.

The moral nature is not, however, in any way the subject of the article linked here - its entire premise is “people playing BG3 are getting familiar with more complex D&D rules through the medium of the game”, including Astarion and rogue mechanics. He’s mentioned once in the whole article, to illustrate that folks including him in his party are getting to grips with positioning and bonus action economy of his class.

Trying to cram moral judgement angle into this feels like conversationally lazy whataboutism.

Fantastic news! Amazon Games is the one source of my games that I haven’t really utilised on Linux site to all the hoops I had to jump through on order to install the titles available (in my case, it involves installing the official launcher in the VM, installing the game, copying files over onto Linux volume, and resetting the VM to previous checkpoint), so having an easy access to all these free titles from Twitch Prime give-aways is going up be great! 😁

I can wholeheartedly recommend Forgive Me Father, it’s got excellent pacing, very pleasant to look at art style, the weapons are satisfying to use, the upgrades system and choice of two protagonists makes for good replayability, and the soundtrack is an absolute banger!
