Super Hexagon is getting a big overhaul available in Beta now
17 May 2022 at 5:09 am UTC

I liked the first game and played often, but the difficulty curve have sold more copies if there were 2 or 3 easier levels, I'm not saying an easy mode.

I'm on MX Linux Debian based, changed to the beta, found no difference so far? did something wrong?

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is out now

I liked it.. and it's just a "soulless" game maybe, but that makes it feel really "Portal 1"-like to me. Also, good lord, the performance it's astounding, I know it's just a map and assets with some interaction, but still, I knew since the first loading screen it couldn't be Source.

Sorry Arch (EndeavourOS), it's not working out any more and hello Fedora

Hello, we have chatted before on Twitter when your site was small, I doubt you'll remember me.
Anyway, because Arch *needs* to be bleeding edge, it always uses the latest packages, we all know that; now, I have a Geforce GT710 2GB VRAM, although I can run 95% of games of the 700 on my list, NVIDIA decided to drop support for my card and throw it to legacy drivers. And Arch didn't like that. Manjaro also didn't like that. So I said bye bye and just got a SSD, I would use my HDD to put games, builds, etc, and the OS on the 256GB Kingston SSD.
I decided to install MX Linux, which I never used, and sounds strange, but that is because it's the devs of Mepis and Artix joined and made this distro. It was on top on DistroWatch at that time, and was on top yesterday as well.
It's super stable, everything works, the default WM is XFCE, and the best thing is, it doesn't use systemd, uses a custom sysv on init. It's FAST, I know I never tried a SSD, but I can tell it's really fast.
So, I update packages every time is needed, and set to use the latest NVIDIA drivers that supported my card. I don't like Legacy.
All games work as before, and with this speed I don't see the value on using Arch, I prefer something more stable, I already got speed.

Vulkan API gains new extension to aid translation layers

Vulkan keeps growing. So glad it has real performance improvements, playing the new Doom on OpenGL was very difficult for me -changing the driver to Vulkan gave me easily 20 FPS more.
But it's a lot about the implementation, I have read Vulkan code and seems more -if not complex-, longer than OpenGL.

I also played AGAIN StoneShard because of the new update, but died at the boss fight to get out of the dungeon; as you know, there's no save system until you're out... it's so irritating. The devs said they won't change it too.
What do you guys think?
