their ultimate goal to have the same 'detail and realism as Dwarf Fortress'.

Wow, that's quite an aim! I'll have to check this one out.

Quoting: lordgaultChina wants to stop using Windows and they are working on a Deepin-based GNU/Linux system.The company created for this purpose is UNIONTECH and the operating system has been named UOS (based on Deepin). In addition, this company is working on the necessary software to replace the Windows software. Can you imagine what will happen when China leaves Windows and adopts UOS?

Don't forget there's likely to be a change in regime (and therefore policy) in one of the world's biggest bully states in the next few months, so I wouldn't be surprised if selling things to one of the world's biggest economies becomes the "in thing" again. I can see the latter getting a sweetheart deal to keep MS' market share up, although it'll be interesting to see if the damage has been done and this drive to nationally produced products stays strong.

Can't play for long with keyboard and mouse because the camera can only move ~720 degrees before it stops going in that direction.

Had good fun playing with a Steam controller though, doesn't seem to have the same issues.

My opinion is that the price should be the price, and that should be converted to the real-time equivalent for the currency you're buying in.

So game = £10. At time of writing:

• UK: £10


• USA: $13.15


• Japan: ¥1386


• Europe: €11.12

etc. Then apply whatever local tax applies (which is probably where most of the pressure on Valve comes from, taxperson always wants their cut...).

Haven't played yet, but there's already an update. :o

Alas, this past week has been little more than Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town (Switch) and The Last of Us: Part 2 (PS4). Think I'm coming to the end of the latter, so may have more time for Linux gaming next week...

Cadmus has an insane packaging system, so it basically has to use that appimage bollocks. Hopefully this software can actually be packaged properly.

On the Linux side, they've hooked it up with "a new GTK+ based host for Flutter apps on all Linux distros".

Meh, not interested then. :sick:

Been thoroughly underwhelmed by this event, at times I've even forgotten that here was one. It doesn't feel like Valve are even trying any more.

Makes me think of Eternal Darkness from the Gamecube. Had "sanity effects" that made it look like your memory card was getting wiped, or the console restarted mid-game, etc. Was a really cool mechanic that brought an extra dimension to the experience. I'll have to pick this up and try it for myself. :grin:
