Quoting: pete910I hope prospective devs/publishers reading this particular thread don't think this is how linux gamers/users as a whole think.

Quoting: CreakI understand that and you're completely correct, but if you buy a CPU now, I'd say it is for a few years. By the time, these benchmarks will probably change (because of the reasons I listed).

But if you plan to change your CPU every year, I agree this would be the best choice..

I'm not sure people will get rid of a hungry main process. But fortunately, with Ryzen 3000, the question should be mood. (Is that correct? The question is not important anymore.) It's got the same single speed performance and more cores for the money.

Quoting: CreakAs your post has been up-voted as well, I'm intrigued why single-core performance is the major sell point for you?

According to measurements with actual games, single core performance is very important. My guess is that there's a main game logic process which runs on a single core and needs quite some power. Other threads are used, too, so you do need enough cores as well. This was especially pointed out for the Ryzen 2000 generation which lost on real games performance against Intel.

Quoting: Mountain ManLocal and physical access tends to decrease the effectiveness of and defeat many security measures. For that matter, if someone has physical access to your machine, they could simply walk off with it and crack it at their leisure.

If you got decent encryption, not within billion years with the whole energy of the sun.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI don't really like Intel, but this doesn't really worry me. I mean,

they would need some sort of physical and local access

Why are we even expecting any kind of compute-y thing to be secure when someone has physical and local access? That was never a thing when I was young, and I'm fairly convinced that if we think it's a thing now it's mainly wishful thinking.

The question of security against local access is the very reason for things like disk encryption and especially important for mobile devices like notebooks.

Quoting: MaathWell, for one, do you get a different ending if you start the game and do nothing for the entire 400 days and then log in for the final wake up of the king? If so, how many years would you have to play this game to see everything?

Yeah, after playing through it once, I'd like an ability to speed things up without real-time sync. Ideally, developers should simply implement such feature in the game itself for subsequent playthroughs.

I'm optimistic it'll be patched in 400 days. :D

Quoting: CheesenessSo happy to see this one out in the wild, marked as officially supported now! I had a blast playing through this on my first run - Dan's managed to nail crossing the two gameplay styles in a way that many other genre-blurring games fall short of, and in a way that makes sense for the characters and their universe.

I'm fine with jump and run and a fan of point and click, but exactly this fear stroke me: Blending genres, even more so genres that different, seems very hard to do. Looking forward to what you've got to write.

Worth noting that it's only and especially free for linux!

Quoting: GuestIt's entirely possible I'm simply a bad developer, but anytime I've tried anywhere slightly outside my core CV experience I hear either nothing back, or get a very nice letter saying no. It's to be expected really. If my current application falls through however, I may look into this because there will be nothing to lose.

To be honest, I dont have much experience in searching for jobs, I'm alraedy sitting in my current one for more than a decade. :) Not exciting, but that's not all bad.

Good luck!
