What was your title? So you not liking it does not mean the procedural generation was badly implemented, it was successfull and players liked it enough to play the game for years.

Not be overly pedantic, but going by the wiki definition there was supposed to be a punchline. I think your post was humorous, while not being a joke.

You don't like most games, so this does not surprise me, however the game has stood the test of time, since many people still play it even after 16 years. What is pretty well? I tried to find some numbers, but the only things i found is the retail sales for consoles...

But then you would lose those moments where you love overhyped flops. Good procedural generation has a much wider scope for interesting outcomes than placing everything by hand (because of limited time, resources and mind). Of course, there has to be a middle where these things meet, at least...

Why? Wouldn't it be better if the game was a hit (quality wise) and everybody enjoyed it? Especially since the concept is really interesting. I'm kind of sad that this might make other devs not consider doing something creative with procedural generation. But that does not add up at all. While...

Every time a game get's ported to new platforms is great for gamers (and this is why i hope that Vulkan really takes off), but i pity those poor souls who use tablets or phones for gaming. While i love the concept of a small portable gaming device, but any serious time spent on a tablet is just...

I used to think that i'm kind of role playing, but i was usually just playing a part of my ego. It never dawned on me that you can actually play in different ways than what you as a person would do in those situations, until someone (i think it was brother none) mentioned it in some thread. So i...

Putting this into perspective, i think you will be fine :DDD.

Avellone lookes like he's on some mexican "suppliments", his arms are huge.

Whenever i think about Gothic, i think about a game made in 2001 that had a river with a real simulated stream that would alter your swimming (you could dive too!) and a game that had actuall ladders and climbing! While in morrowind you just pressed enter when near the door, here you would...

I'm currently browsing the internet with midori (a minimal open source browser), which does not have javascript (the internet works much faster without javascript) and it's pretty annoying to see some websites which are completely unacessible without javascript. GOG does not work at all, youtube...

Anything that Larian, Obsidian and Inxile have to offer. Of course my choice is limited to games that will, or have a high probability of coming out in linux. Would probably add Total War Warhammer to that list as it will recieve a linux port this autumn, but i'm not that keen on supporting dlc...

Just died playing Torchlight 2 hardcore on veteran. Was 15 level and fighting some mob, but kind of drifted off thinking about something and the next moment i hear a voice saying - "you have died". I always get too cocky on hardcore in any game i play and then get my ass kicked.

I wonder how much these ethereum miners have to do with rx 480's being out of stock everywhere (will probably be even worse with rx 470, seeing as they are more efficient and not that much slower). Seems like amd cards are the default goto for cryptocurrency miners.

Well, qwerty is actually older than dvorak and colemak and was introduced to prevent typists from jamming the keys. The other two were actually made with modern typewriters/keyboards in mind, specifically to speed up typing and prevent injuries from unfavorable finger movements. But there are...

I once started learning dvorak keyboard layout while installing a barebones linux with no gui (pure console mode). Now that was quite an interesting challange, even more so since i did not have the keys redone to suit the new layout, so i was guessing half the time. I also learned to touch tpye...

For those that are still not sure about what this "Vulkan" thing is, this is a nice interview with their management: http://www.redgamingtech.com/the-vulkan-interview-exclusive-interview-with-the-khronos-group/ ....The past year or two has marked a considerable shift in the graphics industry...

If i squint real hard, i think i might find the resemblance.Those pronounced features kind of reminds me of:

Well, you will like it even better, after 80 hours in, i had to stop playing as i felt it was beginning to turn into addiction. I will continue it after i will get a new gpu, this way i will get a rest from all this playing (80 in and i still have not finished the game). It's like someone...
