Quoting: Purple Library GuyGotta say it feels weird to me to see someone say they "acquired" something that's open source. I know what they mean, but my instincts yell "It's open source, it belongs to everyone!"

I actually wasn't sure. Does it mean they hired the (main) developer?

Quoting: whizseThat's funny, I read the headline and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Nina Simone popped into my head.

Now I've got an earworm of Eric Burdon. Thank you very much...! ;)

Quoting: EikeI remember Unigine to shine with a very good demo... many years ago. Some... stones, a... well or something?

Quoting: CFWhitmanUnigine's benchmark tools using this engine are fairly famous (Heaven, Valley, and Superposition)

Heaven was the one I was thinking of, thanks!

Quoting: no_information_hereIn theory, I like the new questions but the VRR one isn't clear unless you are the sort of person who has purposefully bought a variable refresh capable monitor. For everyone else, it may be opaque. My first thought was it was asking me if I used v-sync or if I just left the frame rate unlocked in my games.

If it's unclear, maybe mentioning GSync and the respective name from AMD could help.

Quoting: EhvisProbably depends on how the driver does things. For gsync on NVidia it will just work when fps is below the monitor setting regardless of vsync (which still works if fps would exceed the monitor refresh).

Ok, but if it also is above vsync sometimes, you could/should also allow for that.

Quoting: EhvisSo if you do it efficiently, you can easily finish the game in less than 100 days.

I played through in three weeks or so.
It's a quite different experience, I recommend to give it a try!

Quoting: tmtvlI've never seen a Variable Refresh Rate setting in a game, is that a new thing?

You don't set it. The game sends the frames in the speed it can and the monitor, if VRR is enabled and all, just displays them immediately. I guess you should disable max frame rate and V-Sync, though.

If you ask me, that's the one way it should be done and hopefully, one day, we'll look back and wonder what this ridiculous fixed frame rate and v-Sync was all about...

Quoting: rustybroomhandleNot parser-based, but have you ever tried any of the Choice of Games titles like Heroes Rise: The Prodigy?

The freedom of just typing what I want and the illusion I could do anything is what makes me playing such games, so I didn't look deeper into Choice of Games than trying a demo. Thanks for the suggestion!

:woot:

I just stopped playing Hadean Lands. Rather hard, extremely good. Didn't finish (yet). Hope to revisit.
The game has got a very interesting way to cope with dead ends, resulting in kind of meta puzzling.

Does anybody have other recommendations in the quality and size of Thaumistry or even Hadean Lands?
