Morning *big hug*. How are you today? :)
Edit: just read that you're tired. Hope that's getting better soon :).

We also had quite mild winter (but i don't think we had record-high temperatures) but we finally got our Spring ;) with temperatures constantly above 10°C (i assume it's 50°F) and no rain probably for the last week which is highly unusual...

Wanting to go back to sleep.

*energizing hug* ;-)

Sorry, got distracted reading old posts in the thread to catch up a bit more XD

It's probably because I'm used to old school roguelikes, but I couldn't play ot with normal tile graphics... ASCII all the way for me.
I haven't had any issues with it.. although I do seem to remember having problems when I first started and was messing around with the options (changing some settings seemed to require a restart)
I've been playing it a lot, largely because it's just easy to pick up. The more I play it the more it reminds me or Diablo. It's like a middle ground step between full on old fashioned roguelikes and modern Diablo style RPGs (or whatever you call them).

(looking at pictures of "terrils") ... Huh... Interesting. Maybe I'll take a picture of our canyon today while I'm out and upload it.

... A... A Golden Wake? ... ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!? .... because... I'm not kidding, I played that for the first time last night :-| (Thank you again, by the way! You sent it to me! :-D)
... I can't believe we played the same thing :-)

No problem. I just installed yesterday on my windows laptop too and wondered that it crashed as didn't any issues so far on linux (apart from the cursor thingy which is fine on windows...). Yeah it's definitely an interesting game but i haven't played as as i wanted to yet...

Fallout missing again...*sigh*...same like yesterday.....

Nah... -you- are kidding me !! :-D
Well, I might have told you a couple of weeks ago that I was planning to try it soon... I was just waiting to be less busy with other stuff... :)
So, do you like it ??
And yeah, I'd be glad to see your famous canyon ! :))
I've still got mine... it's funny that these games in particular always fall off our shelf... :-|

I have to say though, as much as I love roguelikes I'm starting to get a little frustrated with all they dying and starting over. I think its partially because the classes have a fairly linear progression (so far with a lot of them I seem to choose the same skills every time) so until I unlock a few new ones I just keep doing the same thing. Plus while it does point you in a direction of where you should be going the dungeons it says to explore tend to be rock hard even with a bit of extra levelling, so I'm exploring around the world map which invariably means I go somewhere I shouldn't, die, and have to start over.

Yeah. I'm still not getting used to it completely which is odd as i didn't had a problem with dying in FTL....
Actually i think i wouldn't have noticed it but i updated my wikipage and i saw that Fallout from shelf. For the most other people were complaining about it stayed at my shelf but since last week or so it's vanishes and return pretty much constantly.
But that issues should be resolved when they update the user sysem if i'm not mistaken...

I have a problem with dying all the time in FTL.... ):-| sometimes for stupid reasons...

Yeah it can get frustrating. The worst thing i had was dying in the first encounte in the game and i didn't make it to the final level yet. But i still really like the game though :).

There is a final level ? ... ô__ô ... I never make it to more than the 2nd screen...

Yeah, I like it... It isn't really amazing, but I'm having fun. (It is certainly no Blackwell... but nothing is :-p)
So far, the story isn't interesting to me at all, and I don't really care about the characters... And the puzzles are quite easy... But I really enjoy the setting. And as usual with Wadjet Eye games, I think the art, voices, and music are great.
So... I don't think it is an outstanding game (yet), but I'm still having fun :-)

I'll try to take a picture of the canyon today and post it :-)

Apparently so. The furthest i got was the third star system or so...but the is a sector which is supposed to be the last stand or so
