If you're into point and click, you must have played Thimbleweed Park.

Quoting: cprnActually, since I do have a CPU built-in AGPU that's never used and a GTX1070 that's currently my main GPU but could easily be used as a discrete one, is there any reason to use Optimus on PC? Can I somehow grab extra f/s out of it?
You could spare yourself and the environment some Watts. I doubt using both GPUs together would be worth any effort for speed.

I'm happy she got the money she asked for this time, but it's such a low amount, I can hardly imagine she can make a game with it. Wishing and hoping for the best, of course.

Quoting: scaineAnd when I click on Kneekoo's link, I get taken to the top of the article, at page 2 of the comments.

No idea what's happening there.
I sometimes get strange scrolling behaviour, probably due to quotes folding afterwards or something like this. When you use his link, go to the URL box and press enter, maybe it will resolve properly?

Cool! I heard about the game and was sad it didn't seem to support Linux. Will happily wait.

Quoting: scaineYour link isn't to a single comment - you can do that from the toolbar in the comment itself (one to the left of the "quote" button). You linked to a page of comments.
The link is to an actual comment, the one starting with "Well, this is absolutely something I was happy to leave on Windows, but on a technical level hats off to the clever folk who figured that out. Also shame on Epic Games. It's a bloody Electron app, which means 98% of the application is just HTML"

I wonder if kneekoo understands the word "shaming" used here more harsh than other people. They are having an electron up, which is portable by very nature, so "shame on you, Epic!" is nothing to harsh, I think.
