My own instance is fairly narrow in scope, and I don’t think I can add it here. Is there a way to post a community in another instance?

As far as I remember, Dragon Age has been real time since Origins.

The DM tools were where it really shined; I’d love a modern game with that kind of support.

I haven’t seen much of anything about this game; what’s with the radio silence?

Been waiting for something like this; hope it works out well.

Well, I mean he still resembles some Space Marines I know of.

What happened now?

I’ve been a fan for a while; played the originals, the remastered, and got Emergence (Cataclysm) when it launched on GOG.

I’m having a blast so far. It needs some balance work, but as long as they continue tweaking it I think the base game is entirely enjoyable. They’ve also confirmed mod support is on the way; I’m not saying that makes up for any deficiencies in the base game, but it will definitely add replayability.

So, how serious are we about living on Mars at this point?

This is the first time I’ve seen anyone ever post anything about this game.

It’s good to know folks in the industry like him and Sven at Larian are pushing back against all this BS

Yes, patent it. Then nobody else can do it!

I think I need to narrow some things down;

My current Windows PC isn’t what I’m looking for; it’s a big and powerful gaming laptop from a few years back. I’m looking for something light and portable, but with a full keyboard for coding.

Pricewise I’m looking for something around $350; if this is unreasonable let me know.

As I understand it, Steam Deck uses KDE, so I’d like to stick with that for now.

This is probably the most helpful advice I think I’ve gotten so far. Thank you, I’ll look into these options.

I should add that I’ve been interested in getting a small, portable notebook for coding separate of this, and making it Linux seemed a good idea at the same time.

I’m pretty sure they’ve said they’re moving to Unreal.

The X-COM series is pretty much these choices all the time, though less in a moral sense and more a strategic risk and reward sense. What do you use your limited time and resources on, how much do you risk when the stakes are high, etc. It’s a little different than the sorts of decisions you’re thinking of, but quite interesting.

They could hold up a flat planet.

Can they follow it up with one against Google next?

What does “tubular” mean in this context? I’ve only ever heard it as a positive adjective in Surfer slang.
