Get back to us when you actually launch and maintain a product for a few months then. Because you don’t have anything in production then.

Nah. Kinda similar big name, but I’d rather not name the company.

There is actually an Indian colleague in IT by the name that you have mentioned :)

He said “those”, not “these”.

I don’t know about the main point that you are making, meaning that it’s the economy’s fault.

I only have a few data points to compare, but anecdotally me and my friends have plenty of budget to buy games, but not enough time to play them as the poster above says. I have such a huge backlog of nice games that I don’t care to buy a game at release time, I can wait for a discount. If it is something exceptionally good that I want to play now, i will do it, but mostly on the ~20 euro range

So I will agree with the poster above. Make something exceptionally good, otherwise it compares with my backlog.

Nah, Dota runs natively on Linux. And no other MOBAs exist, amiright.

On older games, the opposite can be true, though. Games crashing on windows but NOT crashing on Linux.

I guess I am one of those 5 people you mention. I have both a steam controller and a steam deck. The controller is slightly better than the deck, for me. It is the best controller I have owned, hands down.

I mean, 2 damage aoe was pretty good at the time.

Can you set a breakpoint in production two days ago to debug an incident, though?

No, you’re not supposed to follow years of computer science courses in a university. A good tutotial will provide all prerequisite knowledge for you. Including high school.

And even notifications they don’t want to know about for free!

Kung fury.

Well I wouldn’t liken StS to card games like MTG. In MTG you build a deck with any cards you want/have, rather than whatever opportunities present to you. Maybe you could argue about drafting, but it a little bit of a stretch.

Also the competitive nature of MTG is entirely different to the likes of StS.

So yeah, I would pick Dominion. I also like later games built with some similar ideas, like Mage Knight for example, although this one again has a different approach maybe, but at it’s heart is also a deck builder.

I guess you are referring to the likes of Dominion and so?

I got it from a local game shop.

The main difference of the board game is that it is coop. So while the single player experience is pretty faithful to the video game and well made, the multiplayer experience is the actual meat of it, and it is a lot of fun. Give it a try if you can.

Eh. To be honest, still playing Downfall. It’s got me pretty covered as far as StS goes. I cannot imagine much more from sts2, although I’d be happy to be surprised.

Also the boardgame rules.

Which reminds me. I can’t even move the taskbar to the left of the screen anymore since windows 11 was forced upon me. Pffft.

I encounter quicks and weirdnesses on the windows laptop for work, which won’t even fucking properly sleep or don’t fucking update by itself even after trying to stop it for a while, rather than on Linux.

Can you name any such quirks and annoyances on Linux specifically? Because I can give you plenty on windows, while Linux the past 10 years or so maintains my sanity.

Was working for me well for years in the past, can recommend.
