Meh, it's probably a part of some cashgrab plan.

"What do you think they will be working on?"

Given Valve's track record, definitely not Risk of Rain 3. :whistle:

Quoting: pbI thought "prologues" were no longer allowed on Steam, as well as advertising other games in the description?

At no point have Valve said they're not allowed. But with the demo system updates, they now make less sense.

Ok, so maybe prologues and other demos-pretending-not-to-be-demos are not explicitly forbidden, but: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/4201376568915048836 [External Link] "No images, links, or widgets pointing to other games on Steam - This means that you cannot use your store page description to advertise other products on Steam." - and yet this game (and virtually all other "prologues") does exactly that. Shouldn't be for long, though, as "Starting early September, we'll roll out an update that automatically hides any instances where a URL is included in a game's written description or other text section.". At the same time, Proper demo pages will prominently display infobox linking to the full game, so maybe that will do it.

I had a long break from KDE after they took a bad (for me) direction with KDE4. But last year, on the new computer, I decided to go wayland and I switched to kde, since xfce didn't have a wayland version. All was fine in the beginning but after some update (probably) the computer started randomly freezing. Like, I browse the web and bam, everything is frozen, hard reset needed. Or I leave the comp on, go eat or whatever, come back and it's frozen. Or I put it to sleep and can't wake it up etc. I suspected faulty hardware (ran memory tests etc.) and various programs (turned them off on boot etc.) but after a while I started to direct my suspicion towards KDE. So eventually I gathered some courage and time, and I installed Hyprland. It was a few months ago and not a single freeze since then, heh. And I actually love my new DE, everything configured to my taste (because by me, hehe).

TL;DR If you're experiencing random system freezes, it might be KDE.

What's that 8.1% of a cat about?

Well, that looks not bad actually. I'll keep hoping for now.

Quoting: Mountain ManSo Microsoft is 100% open sourcing the code with no strings attached?

It was always open source. They just bought the company who created* and maintained, it, moved the devs over to their own fork and closed down the original, graciously allowing the wine team to maintain their own fork of the old code, as if they needed a permission, lol. It's a good PR move (also for Wine, mind you) but nothing else.

(*) actually it seems it changed hands a few times, I confused Ximian with Xamarin :whistle:

I'm starting to think maybe I shouldn't have jumped at these Battlefield sales... :whistle:

Quoting: RavenWingsI´d love to have a look. Is there any way to get an invite, or does Valve only pick users by some criteria for now?

Deadlock steam forums are full of threads by people handing out free invites.
