Looks like it could be part of Postal games :happy:

Quoting: scaineThis looks great. But that music. Holy shit the music. Make it stop.
I agree on that, the music area could get some improvements. But I like the added detail of having loudspeakers lying everywhere in the house :grin:

Nice that they finally decided to make a native version. Back in my wishlist :smile:

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 goes out today, new Linux driver released

Quoting: furaxhornyxOut of curiosity, I clicked on the link about dedicated cards [External Link] for mining.

Big title on the page:
NVIDIA CMP HX
Dedicated GPU for Professional Mining
Is "professional mining" a real thing ? :huh:
Current Ethereum Hashrate: 435 TH/s [External Link]
Income from that Hashrate: 566M$/month [External Link]

That's without energy cost, which eats around 25% if you are paying "normal" prices. And much (~5%) less if you have an industry contract.

So not only is professional mining a thing, you can do it too if you have a GPU with more then 4GB of VRAM. I bought some used 5700 XT back in December for ~ 500$, they are payed off now.
Thanks for your explanation, yet, one more question:

The money spent on your GPU is paid off in Ethereum, right ? But this is "virtual value", are there any store or things you can actually buy with this ?

Valve help developers into adding more controller support with new stats

Quoting: einherjarI tried Valheim with controller, but I was not satisfied and went back to MK.
For me, controller is a nice experience, except when you need to aim precisely with the bow. But I use the keyboard for fast accessing to menus, and I do use the mouse for sorting inventory (faster and less clunky than with a controller).

Quoting: slaapliedjeI find myself wanting more controller enabled games, mostly because I sit for 10-14 hours a day typing away and wiggling a mouse doing work... I want to be able to lay way back in comfort with a controller in hand to play some games. (or in the case of VR, standing with controllers and punching the living shit out of enemies with the Index controllers).
Same here, to the point that sometimes, I find playing with a controller more comfortable for the wrist, especially when you already spent hours with a mouse for work. I just got myself a vertical mouse to try to diminish the strain.

Quoting: AppelsinToo bad Valve never really wanted to sell them to anyone. Just like the Steam Link. If they'd actually been easily available for purchase then they would have sold a ton. In Norway, you couldn't really get one outside of Ebay.
I own a Steam Link, and to be fair, I tried it a few minutes, then it went back into its box. On a LAN, the input lag on Overcooked was very perceptible, making the game barely playable...

Galculator

Enough said.
This one gets installed by default with the Cinnamon edition of Manjaro, and each time I want to open the calculator, I curse whoever had this brilliant idea...

What have you been playing recently? Come chit-chat with us

I recently started playing Adore [External Link], a cute (but not "kawai") rogue-like. Think Gremlins, not Slime Rancher :happy:

The game is in early access, but according to their Discord (which I join because it is the only way to report bugs), a Linux version seems to be planned. I currently run it under Proton, and so far the game runs ok, I could finish the higher difficulty without major problem. I think it could run better, but the game is in early access, so...

And then, as everyone seemed to enjoy Valheim, and since it was in my wishlist since a long time, I bought it... and got hooked as well :grin:

I am currently enjoying it solo, so I can take my time to discover the possibilities offered by the game

Spoiler, click me
I killed a troll, which revealed the troll armor blueprints... so I went down chasing some trolls. After a few hours, I finally got a complete set :wub:
