It works for me  :-\

Where exactly does it break for you?

Is GIMP good for pixel art and the like, or should I stick to Paint? Like, does GIMP have support for palettes (for swapping) and really fine detail work?

Luck is indeed a thing. I once found a piece of loot that boosted it. I didn't use it because it had pretty terrible stats otherwise.

He's talking about purely in-combat visual representation. Say you build a destroyer, which is shown in the battle cinematics as around five identical ships. I like this idea, makes it feel more epic.

Then a 20 on 20 battle would require showing 120 ships.  Which is impressive, but eh, I'm ok with seeing only 40.
Could be an option to adjust/turn off, like in the Total War series. I know they aren't the same kind of game, but it could be awesome and everyone would be happy.

A friend threw this at me and I have no idea whether or not this game is good. Its temporarily free though.

I played it. It's... slow. But, if you have patience, it's not a bad game.

But, you REALLY need the patience.
Is it some sort of turn-based strategy? Looks nice, and hey it's free.

.net I think. I used to make that mistake.
That looks better :P

Seems like you cant get to the top of the brackets through winning all your fights. You just need to get lucky and have more people challenge you. So if your goal is to be top, dont use your tokens so often. You will rank up too fast.
3 wins can get you to the top of the Newcommers Bracket...
I keep getting kicked to the next bracket before reaching the top. Best I did was have Miss Demeanor at the 3rd slot in the Gladiator bracket, but then she got promoted again.

I always did check mark the maybe with those kind of notes back in the day. I was terrible at making decisions.
I lost a friend/possible girlfriend doing that :(

I was just reminded why I love No One Lives Forever games. Ninja fight. In a trailer park. Inside a tornado. Those games had character. And looking at the sysreqs, my current crummy laptop should actually be able to run NOLF2. Might have to re-install this little gem.

Fake-edit: A Scotsman on a tricycle chasing a unicycling mime. This sealed the deal if it ever needed sealing.
What.

Metro 2033 is 75% off, bringing it down to $4.99.

Any opinions/reviews on it?
I liked what I saw, but you need a fairly beefy rig to run it.

It's a linear FPS, but the story is interesting and the universe captures the feel of a crapsack world perfectly.

This, pretty much. I gave it a playthrough on console, and the setting was very well done. You could get some frantic moments as well, things like being near the end of your last filter on a trip through the surface, the eyes of your gasmask cracked as you run from a pack of abominations. Not worth $60, but for $5 it is certainly worth it.
From like 5 posts ago :P

Ugh, terrible selection on new fighters today, and I'm not wasting hard-earned trophies on a new batch. Just gotta wait until tomorrow.

ETA: Aaaaaaaaand Arrakis is dead again. Screw it, I gave him plenty of chances to get back in the game but he just kept getting worse. Miss Demeanor is my only gladiator until I can get a replacement.

Wait, miss demeanor is yours? I kept having to knock that gladiator around due to the damn selection rng.
Yeah, she's mine. Which one is yours?

Kadjb and Velupes. Pretty sure it was Kadjb that had to fight you.
The name sounds familiar, but I can't see the report anymore.
