The new Entroware Hybris could make a reasonable Linux gaming laptop
28 Jun 2017 at 1:43 pm UTC

Quoting: liamdaweLike before though, my shock here comes in the form in the stupidly low RAM which starts at 4GB. I don't know why lots of laptop vendors keep having such a low starting amount of RAM, but it can be configured up to 32GB DDR4. I really don't think 4GB RAM goes far at all now, so it's a bit crazy.
4GB RAM with a 4GB swap partition will get you a long way, especially if you using something a bit more lightweight like Xfce, MATE, or (heavenly glory) LXQt.

It's not like everyone plays Xonotic at Ultra quality.

Can't wait to see the drop in Unity usage. Too bad it will boost GNOME over KDE.

Meh, not gonna get anything, pretty much anything I want I already have on GOG. And while I buy games on GOG that I already have on Steam, I don't really like doing the opposite.

Are you ready for some more Tyranny? Something is being teased for tomorrow

Here is hoping it's something better than just another portrait pack.

Tyranny was a pretty amazing game though, especially loved how the intro worked and how it was integrated into the rest of the game. It really gives the player meaningful choice.

In February a preliminary libretro Dolphin core was released, haven't really been tracking it further, but could be neat.

Quoting: Nyamiou100$ for you is not much, but for some people, especially in poor countries, is a lot.
If $100 is too much for someone, then I think they should take care of that problem first before trying to get their game onto steam.
Yes, let a poor wannabe game dev from (IDK) Greece fix his country's economy first, before trying to get a game on Steam and hopefully eking out a living.

Classic, not Unlimited Match? Aww, but I wanna play as Li Xiangfei, the best character. Oh well, Metal Slug is awesome at least.

Same, but GPU (for the OSS driver).
