For what it’s worth, the two people I know who are playing this game were fans of the previous games and absolutely love the new one.

I played through the entirety of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on my phone. That was a feature length PS2 game.

Other feature length games with decent ports I know of:

• Transistor
• Bastion
• Ace Attorney
• Myst
• Riven
• Minecraft
• Terraria

Game looks neat but do the devs know what “mirth” means? Weird title.

I’m already paying to play Smash Bros and Mario Maker online, so I might as well.

I’d much, much rather have these in a form I could purchase or, on a bigger streaming service, but this is something at least.

I do appreciate some of the neat gaming-specific features it has, like spoiler prevention (hiding songs you haven’t encountered yet) and looping tracks cleanly for extended periods of time.

Tbf Divinity: Original Sin 2 did not come anywhere near BG3 levels of popularity. The difference between those can really only be attributed to the value of brand recognition.

This sounds really cool! I’d probably give it a try if I had a group to play with.

Neat but also the cosmetic changes are incredibly small

Then I guess none of us really own anything in a society.

You can. If your project gets big enough, they’ll take legal action. But you can definitely get away with fan projects.

Also with physical objects, you can’t legally do whatever you want either. There’s nothing physically stopping you from taking a piece of wood and carving it into any shape you like. But if you make a big enough project out of it, you may eventually run into legal issues. It could be related to IP like patents, trademarks, or copyright, or it could be something like safety.

It’s ok to make a hamburger for your friends at a cookout, but if you start selling your burgers or distributing them in mass, your government may expect you to follow food safety laws, and you can’t market your burgers as “McDonalds”.

You can make mods for many games and many people do.

All (or at least the vast majority) of Ubisoft’s Steam releases require installing and using Ubisoft’s launcher.

The answer to “is there a mod for adding X to Minecraft Java” is almost always “yes”

256GB. I think you can get ones as big as 1TB.

The $60 AAA games aren’t afraid to eat the loss in profit margin from extra costs in producing physical copies. For $10 to $20 indie games, they can’t afford not to raise the prices on the physical versions.

Idk what you mean about “not enough memory”. I have a microSD card in my switch that has more space than I’d likely ever be able to fill.

It’s like 99% just WINE, with a little tuning and maybe a little secret sauce. Maybe comparable to Proton in some ways.

Yeah it’s not for everyone, but it is free to play if it ever piques your interest enough to try!

Subterfuge

It’s a mobile strategy game about sending your armies (ships) to fight your opponents over territory. A game typically lasts about a week. Each action (like sending a ship to a location) typically takes an hour or two to finish. The game lets you scroll time forward and backward to review what happened, or preview what will happen if nobody changes anything. You can schedule actions to happen at a certain time in the future (e.g. as soon as my ship arrives, send another ship).

It’s really neat because you can check in on it periodically throughout the day!
