Another World. It's impressive how it's done, the game is programmed in a custom bytecode, and runs on an interpreter for the game. Porting the game to other platforms just requiere implementing the interpreter.

That allowed the game to be ported even to GBA.

There is a blog post that explains everything about it, and it's super interesting.

What I like about it is that I don't need to delve into second hand shopping to get some old classic games.

I've always wanted to get into getting retro games, and I would get different consoles, but as a matter of money and space I've found it difficult unless I get into only one system, and I find the evercade as a compromise for getting a variety of collections from different systems.

Of course, emulating ROMs would give almost the same experience, but the physical releases with their little manual got me.

It's me, or there's an Evercade VS on top of the table? Curious if it's on all versions of the game, or just in this physical edition for Evercade.

I want to understand your point. What do you mean by "capitalists allow" and "leaving the capitalist in power" in the assumption of socializing an industry?

Do you refer to the fact that in a direct or indirect way, capitalists influence the governement, so even if something socialized it's still under capitalist control?

Or something more like the case of Uber and taxis? Where capitalism can provide unfair competition.

Those points are what it comes to my mind with what you say, but I feel like I'm missing something about what you mean, and I'm intrigued.

And managed democracy!

I'm playing a lot of Helldivers 2 and The Talos Principle 2, and I'm having a great time from both games.

I've bought a bunch of Wadjet Eye games; Unavowed, Gemini Rue, Primordia, Strangeland, Shardlight, Technobabylon and The Excavation of Hob's Barrow.

And aside from that, Return of the Obra Dinn.

I've already played Gemini Rue, and I'm finishing Unavowed.

Heroic is a client for GOG and Epic Launcher, so if I install a game from there, I use Heroic.

Lutris is more generic, and has specific script installers per game, so I use Lutris as a fallback if the game is from somewhere else, or the game does not correctly work with Heroic.

Then, as a third fallback, I try to install the game with Wine directly, then add it a shortcut on Steam to benefit from Proton through Steam. In the above cases (Heroic and Lutris), they would be using their own packaged version of Wine/Proton, so it's worth to try it before giving up.

Curiosity. It began while trying to play around with programming, and finding a lot of talk and resources about Linux, and then trying it. 3 broken Debian installations just for messing around, then Ubuntu as a more permanent install, all of this alongside Windows.

Then I began using less and less Windows until I just deleted the Windows partition because I needed more space.

Alien, that's a game that caught my attention.

And also Aquelarre, is a game set in medieval Spain, where legends and gods are real. The game describes itself as a "Demonic medieval rpg", and their rules are based on BRP, so it's quite familiar on the basics.

I'm liking it a lot. I've never finished Bioshock, but I've played a few hours of it, so it may not be a fair comparison, but the environment feels bigger and more convoluted, everything is less linear. It's more similar to Prey than Bioshock.

Also, the progression of the player is based on gadgets and weapons, there are no powers to level up by using points.

And with Baldur's Gate I'm playing a thief which a master on almost every skill, but not the best in combat jajajaja.

Finnished Call of Cthulhu the past week, finally finished Prey this one (I've abandoned it for about a year), and between all of this I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3. Now I want to play again the System Shock remake, I'm far in the game and I think I can finish it without much time.
