Pyretic:
[...] makes this a better port than the SoH one.

But SoH is a port of OoT, and this is a port of MM. Did you perhaps mean 2Ship2Harkinian (aka SoH2)?

I'm sorry, but have you followed the 'project Ceasar' dev dairies? I think not.
They are realeasing those for over 1 year. And they are getting a lot of feedback from those dev dairies.
A lot of that feedback is actually used to improve the game, or correct historical errors inside the game.

EU5 won't be a shitshow like victoria3 was.
The only danger EU5 faces, that is it far to complicated for 'casuals'.
Its so detailed, really awesome, but also insane hard to master...

How are the EU5 dev diaries different from the Victoria 3 dev diaries, or any other PDX diaries for that matter? Until we see the final game and actually play it I really don't care about forum posts, no matter how nice they seem.

Nothing would make me happier than a properly finished Paradox game ready to play launch day. Well, a lot of things would make me happier, but I'd still be very happy about it (and utterly flabbergasted).

Really want to try Shadow's Gambit. Just finished last month's 1000xResist and it was a blast. I wardly get pumped up by the headliners, but there's usually one that I've been on the fence to buying that suddenly pops into by fav games ever.

I really, really hope that they focus on the engine (multi-core / multi-threaded) and late game performance. So many Paradox games run fine when starting out, but just fall over towards the late game. If it's not at least optimized (read: use and abuse) for 4-8 cores they're doing something wrong IMHO.

Native Linux would be nice as well.

Nintencocks.

Who's gonna sue the first humans who implemented the idea of pets while being clear these were patented by Nintendo?

Or pets themselves for being obvious copies of pokemon.

Or pets encyclopedias for being a clear clone from a Pokedex?

They delayed ripping that band-aid off as much as humanly possible. They need to nail EU5, and I don't think Paradox is set up to be capable of releasing anything even remotely playable as a company.

More than likely they need EU5 released whatever quarter the accountants calculated it needs to get released, and they'll be thinking about fixing the game up later, maybe, if their playerbase gives them all the money. They might relocate some more remote employees out of the company to cut some more costs and corners while they're at it. Eh, who needs 'em anyway? I'm also expecting new heights of predatory, broken and incomplete dlc.

Published games aside, Vicky 3 has been extremely concerning. Yeah, on one hand they stuck with it. On the other, they screwed the pooch so bad on one of their mainline titles, it necessitated a ton of urgent rework that took years, and the players for sure paid for it. Handsomely.

Yeah, I should be excited, but Paradox has been making it very hard for years now. Taking the company public is the worst thing they could've done from a product quality pov.

That's an amazing bundle. A pity I had bought Master of Magick recently, for the same price I would have bought the bundle.

This isn't even software patents. It isn't even bloody business method patents. It's just flat out ridiculous.

I'm happy to see EU5 finally coming!
I do hope and expect EU5 to have native Linux support.
Games like EU4 and vicky3 have about 10-20% better performance on linux compared to Windows.

Also wondering how well it actually runs

From the digital foundry video I watched last year the game looks like a complete stutter fest

The remake moves from the original's fixed-camera viewpoints to an over-the-shoulder perspective, putting you closer to what James sees, for a more thrilling, more immersive experience

They're soo close to getting it.

Software patents shouldn't be a thing. It's been an ongoing argument for years (mostly outside of gaming) but things still suck.

Most of the fixes will affect any game that happens to hit the behaviour. However, Proton does have a few game-specific things it applies.

Yeah, I discovered it a few days ago, and it's definitely one to keep an eye on.

People who claim Manjaro has issues are probably installing packages from the AUR. The AUR is disabled by default, and if you don't enable it, it will remain rock solid. If you want to use the AUR, use Arch. Manjaro is for people who want an Arch-like distro with guard rails. If you disable the guard rails by enabling the AUR, and shoot yourself in the foot, don't blame the distro.

insert redpill and blue pill scene from matrix here.

gamers have to do an hard choice:
an future where games get more expensive as time passes, or where games get cheaper.

an future were we have an monopoly of an game for an specific mechanic or where competition make the games improve.

seriously nintendo, every day you give us another reason to not purchase your products.

Nintendont-buy any more of their shit

I'll probably be giving the tenth generation of consoles a miss... Nintendo is partially to blame with their ridiculously over-priced "Switch 1.5 labeled as a Switch 2"; but it's mostly because the entire ninth generation of consoles has been a cruel joke at the expense of gamers in so many different ways.

And I've been religiously buying consoles each generation since the days of the Atari 2600 (i.e. the second generation of consoles), many of which I still have.

I don't know what the future of gaming is (though I have some ideas), but I feel like consoles are moving away from whatever the future is.

Have they added Official Steam Deck support yet? I want to pick this up so badly, but I can't bring myself to do so whilst the developer won't commit to Official Steam Deck support...

A silent release for a Silent Hill game, and a modern one at that. Very tempted to buy it, even at that price.

Did some research, it appears the game was DRM-Free to begin with, even on Steam (the client was only needed to download the game files).

Sad, but totally beats the alternative.

It looks real fun and I love the artstyle. GOL recommendations are always fire.

Cool! I was on fence with this one but your recommendation did it for me. It is from the Moonlighter developer btw which is why it was on my radar originally.
