There's another 'Life is Strange' on the way

Yes, right -before- Max rolled back time. The two weeks she spent with Max got erased from history a moment later, remember? She died in the bathroom. She did NOT spend any time reconnecting to her old friend and never grew as a person. The entire game DIDN'T HAPPEN.

She knew that when she said it. Call it timelines are whatever, but it did happen to her and she, although she knew it would be "rewinded", considered it important.

Total War: SHOGUN 2 and Fall of the Samurai are heading to Linux from Feral Interactive

Quoting: g000hDoes anyone know "if" I buy Shogun 2 on Humble (which is currently on Sale there) that Feral, the porters, will get their cut for a Linux purchase or not? https://www.humblebundle.com/store/total-war-shogun-2-collection [External Link]

TW:S2 isn't really my sort of game, and as such I am very unlikely to pay full price for it. But getting it at a substantial reduction, sure, I can drop some cash and give a little support to a Linux porter.
To the best of common knowledge, Humble is doing well in distinguishing OS sales.

Quoting: Alm888Wow! What a huge stream of wishful thinking! No indication the game will even be on Linux, yet, some people already calling this "great news"…
Of course there's no guarantee, but at least we know that the developers are open to Linux ports and Feral has a connection to them. My guess is that Life is Strange sold well on Linux.
I'm optimistic on this one.
For reasons, not due to whishful thinking.

Quoting: GuestI bought and tried playing that game but found it so boring. What am I missing here?
I had the same after half an hour or an hour.
Tried it again later - prepared that it's slow-paced, especially in the beginning - and I'm very happy I did.

Quoting: KimyrielleMassive spoilers in there. I mean it.

- Because the ending invalidated every single choice you made in the game. No matter what you did, it's in the end all pointless. Nothing you ever did in the game mattered.

Chloe says it did.

Dubigrasu, the game is slow to come into (took me a second try), but I too found the ending very good.

YES!
Please!
We must have it on Linux!
Feral, I know you are reading this.
Approach them!

Many thanks!
That's impressive indeed!
Ryzen just climbed some levels on my to-buy list. :)

The developer of 'Inner Voices' will seriously consider a Linux version with enough interest

I'd be happy to test! (Debian Jessie, Nvidia proprietary drivers, hardware see "View PC Info on the left)

Quoting: m0nt3On mediumish settings I have not seen below 49. However I am not very far in, just got to the apartment.
Thanks!
I have a reasonable frame rate, but severe dips from time to time...
Did you take a look at CPU (and GPU) usage?

Quoting: lucinosI don't remember that. I for many years now remember the physical limit be considered around 5 nm (and it is getting there now as it seems).
Some more years ago (beginning of the century?), the wave length of the lithography was supposed to be the lower limit of the structure size...

Quoting: lucinosIn any case 1nm is very near the atomic scale.
Yeah, we're running into limits (and already did).
10 GHz was predicted as well back then...
