Quoting: constIs this really the case? I'm thinking about upgrading my desktop since a while and haven't yet stumbled upon new parts for super cheap, yet.

For GPUs, it's was getting less bad, but not yet good when I looked last time.

Quoting: hardpenguinThat is one unique trailer 😅

(I have followed Roadwarden for a while already, this is gonna be great)

I literally never watch game trailers, but I had to do it due to your comment.
I wasn't aware trailers would be this elaborate nowadays!

Quoting: ElamanOpiskelijaThe price of the ASCII RPG is the problem here. I think most people would have happily bought a bundle containing the other games.

Yeah, it's missing balance.

Quoting: PenglingEe! :grin: I loved the first Metal Gear Solid and I strongly lean towards games with cute aesthetics, so this looks right up my alley.

I can recommend the original MSX-2 Metal Gear from 1987.

I still have the cartridge (and the MSX2+)

I played a lot! I am not sure that in the stealth genre is there something like the original Metal Gear!

I also have MSX-1, MSX-2 and the Metal Gear cartridge somewhere. I'd need some video adapter to run them again though, I fear. :)
... and it was a game I enjoyed decades later again, which not many games do for me.

Not sure if this will work out, but you might be interested to read:

Quoting: randylEmbracer is freaking huge. I've been wondering how they've flown under the radar so well. Maybe it's because of their name change and how little known "Embracer" is. Embracer is the rebranded parent company of THQ Nordic and was also previously named THQ Nordic AB which owned THQ Nordic GmbH. They rebranded to Embracer in 2019.

Some of the subsidiaries Embracer owns and several are massive parent companies in their own right: Amplifier Games, Asmodee, Coffee Stain Holdings, Dark Horse Media, Embracer Freemode, Gearbox Entertainment, Plaion, Saber Interactive, and THQ Nordic. They've also merged several previous brands into their fold or into their subsidiary's holdings group.

Thanks for pointing out!
They also got Koch Media and Deep Silver, both well known at least in German speaking countries.

Everybody knows deep silver publisher of stalker developer of saints row

Koch Media (not to be confused with "Koch Industries") was shining in point and click / adventure games [External Link] back then.

Quoting: minidouI fail to see how glibc devs could be blamed for removing a function deprecated for 17 years (though I can agree a major version bump should have been called for). Do videogame devs need that much nursing ? EAC linux lib is a recent piece of software, how many deprecated dependencies do they use ?

Quoting: TermyI tend to agree with the criticism about unstable APIs for many cases - but in this case, i really blame Epic for using a function deprecated for almost two decades in a recent piece of software.

From everything I've read from other people, it wasn't obvious that the function was depreciated. You shouldn't need to search up, "is x function depreciated glibc" for every function you use, it should be immediately obvious (like most languages I know have comments or a depreciation tag), some say that all distros somehow knew about this but you shouldn't need to be familiar with linux development or need to be in the right communities to know about a depreciated function.

Small nitpick here, but DT_HASH is not a libc function, it's a linker section in the ELF header of a shared object. The function that utilizes this section is dlopen() and that function have not changed and it works, it's only applications that tries to read the ELF data manually that have to handle DT_HASH and DT_GNU_HASH, and by all means it looks like the glibc devs "incorrectly" thought that dlopen was their ABI/API and not the actual linker section in the ELF headers.

I find this neither nitpcking nor small! So it isn't an actual API change, but considered an internal data invisible to almost every user program.

Quoting: crseEmbracer Group is truly interesting. They seem to try monopolize the industry, yet their way is not the same as other big company.

They have a varied and diverse catalog of games... they even buy niche yet successful game franchise.
So far, they never put any excessive monetization towards their franchise. Things relatively keep under the vision of the game developer.

As if, they simply want to claim small creator before "swallowed by evil guys."

Of course, monopoly is bad. This is simply my impression towards their product portfolio.

Sounds good...
Too good to be true...
