System76 releases the open source Launch Configurable Keyboard
14 May 2021 at 8:36 am UTC Likes: 3

I am also not fond of the compact-style keyboards: no numpad, strange arrangement of del/end/page up, all top keys (escape, F1-F12) are all clustered together... I'll pass :tongue:

Quoting: TuxeeLED lighting that doesn't illuminate the key labels? Sorry, but that must be the most idiotic design decision ever...
Yes and no... I have a spare keyboard which has RGB lighting. The thing is, the backlighting is quite strong, and can only be changed in color, or turned off. Problem: when turned off, the printings on the keys become invisible, and you can no longer see which key you are typing on. At least System76 design allows for turning the (annoying) RGB off, without making your keyboard unreadable.

There's also an AUR package for it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/srb2 [External Link]

Quoting: CalinouI think SEGA allows fangames to an extent, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Didn't they ask to remove a fan-made version of Street of Rage, when Street of Rage 4 was released ?

On a side note, I love how the video thumbnail shows the "DLSS On" with slightly brighter colors, just to make the "without DLSS" picture appear dull :grin:

I am still not interested in VR, but I wanted to say thanks to Scaine and Liam for this article :smile:

Finally got the time to launch Loop Hero, 12 hours in, and many more ahead !
Initially I wasn't too much attracted by the game and its poor graphics (pixel "art", but very far from Dead Cells and much more like Baba-is-You - Zoomed Out Edition...), but after watching a streamer playing it, the gameplay looked solid... and it is :wink:

Also, some friends made me discover TFT (through Lutris), but the action on the screen is quite a mess, and as an old League of Legend player, nothing makes much sense in it :tongue:

Same, I recently discovered the "season 1", and while I haven't finished it yet, season 2 was an instabuy for me :smile:

Check out the Linux system specs needed for the Metro Exodus port releasing April 14
13 Apr 2021 at 4:12 am UTC

Quoting: DuncWait... the “minimum” specs are based on “medium” settings? :huh:
I think that's a "suggestion" to be able to still enjoy the game, but nothing prevents you to turn off graphics settings down to the minimum to have higher fps, or if you have lower spec :wink:
