Sounds like the developers of cheat software figured out that going through Linux (without the kernel level stuff) was the easier route to make money. Now they'll just go back to the harder way. It doesn't really solve anything for EA, but at least it sounds good.

I wonder if Valve knows more and if the recent kernel level anti-cheat disclosure is part of a bigger plan.

This DLC is amazing. I've spent 70 hours playing it last week and only 15 of those were setting up the base game content.And that's just two of the four added planets done.

I wouldn't recommend the DLC for a new player though. Better get used to the base game first. There is some stuff in there that is fairly complicated to set up (Gleba takes the cake so far, took me about 30 hours to figure out how to get that running).

In case you're new to the game and did buy the DLC. If you want to play the base game, you have to disable it in the "Mods" menu. It's kind of funny that they didn't even make a separate option for it. And while you're at it, better leave the "Quality" feature mod for another time as well.

Time to leave the planet!

Goodbye world, you'll see me again when I'm done.

Tried Block Factory since I enjoy factory games. This one is a bit too simplistic for me. Clearly based on Shapez, but because a lot of things magically happen in building configs, the factory builds themselves aren't particularly interesting. Performance is atrocious. Was building up the first area to 3 stars and I already dropped to 40 fps. Another thing of note is that the game lets you speed up. But in doing so, the output rate of my factory changed. This is a very worrying sign for the factory simulation in the background as these things are supposed to be deterministic.

This was always a project that was due for a name change. The "test" always made it seem like some tech demo code that's not meant to have a future. You can argue about the new name, but at least it now sounds more like a game engine.

Quoting: StellaI'm confused. Is that the LTS release? Does this mean I can now get Plasma 6 with Kubuntu 24? I tHought it always took longer for things to arrive in the LTS branch

This is not LTS. But yes, Kubuntu has Plasma 6.1.

This game (as is RDR2) would be up my alley, but unfortunately the launcher is a deal breaker for me. Technically that would still open up a direct purchase as this wouldn't be a "3rd party" dependency, but I don't really trust rockstar enough for that.

So basically Epic is still trying to please the publishers instead of the customers while the latter is the only potential source of income. Sometimes I think that want the store to be an epic fail so they can stay true to their name.

Very good game and comparatively few issues for an early access. They were quite lucky in their release timing though. So many people that love Factory games were in a holding pattern for the release of Satisfactory 1.0 and the Factorio expansion. This dropped 4 weeks ahead of the first to tie people over.

At least it's a paid upgrade, so you can just ignore it if it adds a mandatory PSN account.

QuoteHold on a minute, it's how old? No, it can't be. How is it 7 years since the original release? Is time speeding up as I get older or what?

And that'll get worse and worse as you progress with your character development.
