NVIDIA dropping support for 32bit Linux this month, also dropping Fermi series support

Quoting: TheSHEEEP:lol:
Oh, please. What comes next? Starving children in Africa?
It's not like we're talking about having to buy high-end machines for 1.5k €...
Pretty much everything you can buy today for pretty cheap is 64bit.
You're aware there's people who do not have money for anything except the essential?

Rise of the Tomb Raider will release for Linux this month
9 Apr 2018 at 11:19 am UTC

Quoting: FireBurnI wonder if the delay is due to the VR stuff in the 20th Anniversary?
While it would be great (well, for those who have got the hardware), I wouldn't expect it.

@Liam: I could ask more, like how the Linux port is going, what sales they are hoping for on Linux, ... - but doesn't this interest of the developer call for a little interview article?

Valve confirms their continued support for Linux gaming

Quoting: skinnyrafAnd yet another discussion hijacked into a GNU/Linux, Free Software, purists vs pragmatists, DRM, GOG vs Steam flamewar...
We should open a thread per topic in the forum (each of which can be derailed to any or all of the other ones), so we could keep the news section (more or less) free of it...

Quoting: INSOMNIA_The_ArkHey people! Thanks for covering the news here. Will be happy to answer your questions :).
Well, so I'll dare... How would you compare your game to (modern) Fallout? (Of course I'm aware you've got like a hundredth of their budget.)

The latest Steam Client update is quite a big one pulling in lots from previous beta versions

Note that people reported the environment variable doesn't work anymore for them. There's an option in the preferences, though.

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered announced by Klei with a brief teaser (updated)

By the way, Owlboy renders in 1280x720.
Do you think it has bad graphics quality?
I sure don't.

Quoting: ageresWhy? Don't you see the difference in sprites quality between 2D games made for 720p and 1080p (like SteamWorld Dig)? Watch that teaser trailer in 480p/720p/1080p to compare.
I didn't say resolution it making no difference (for most games).
But it doesn't equal graphics quality.

I'd understand "graphics quality" in a broader meaning of art, not pixel count.

If you don't want to follow me on this one, look at all those sliders in graphics options:
Probably none of them changes resolution. So none of them changes graphics quality either?

And for sure it cannot be counted, as in "nine times better graphics".

Quoting: ageres
Quoting: GuestNope, it just means nine times better resolution.
Don't "fully redone 4K visuals and new particle effects" mean updated graphics?
Sure, but "It was made for [...] 1280x720 resolution. 4k means nine times better graphics." is still nonsense. Graphics quality doesn't come in numbers, and if it would, it wouldn't be the number of pixels.
