Quoting: linuxcityfor those of you saying if they don't put a native i won't buy it well then you won't be buying many titles then.

The ~140 native titles on my wishlist beg to disagree. And I buy more games than I have time to play.

I'm happy Wine exists though.

Quoting: F.Ultra

Quoting: F.UltraBought and launched Mad Max so I'll guess that I'll be stuck with my computer for 100-200hours. Don't know how my employer will react though...

Took me less than 90 to get all but one of the achievements, and I wasn't exactly speedrunning. But I guess 90 hours is plenty.

I have a tendency in games like this to spend 10+ hours on infiltrating some outpost just to realise that I probably need to level up first :)

My personal compulsion is to comb through every nook and cranny and avoid anything that looks like it might advance the story until there's absolutely nothing else to do. I guess I have an irrational fear of accidentally missing out on some optional bit of content.

Quoting: gabberJust played 'Human Fall Flat' this weekend to find out they dropped Linux support. Same talk:

Unfortunately we've made the decision to discontinue Linux support so we can focus on new content and features for Windows and Mac versions.

Breaking product after release? Isn't this illegal, like fraud or something?

They didn't exactly break it. It still installs and launches, but won't get any updates and doesn't advertise Linux support in the store. I do remember it being a bit broken for some people though, but probably not intentionally.

I did a bit of Euro Truck Sim 2 to check out the new event and to relax after work on Friday. Played some World to the West, the excellent Zelda-like followup to Teslagrad. Finished the lovely A Short Hike and finally started a playthrough of good old Planescape: Torment tonight. (Enhanced edition of course.)

Okay, tried playing a couple of online matches with D9VK and it was just unplayable. Stuttered like crazy whenever anything at all happened. Maybe it's just my mesa version or something, but honestly I can't be bothered to find out. The native version runs just fine.

I tested RL for a bit with D9VK earlier today, and it does run smoother than native. Although the game seems to stutter horribly for a second or two any time it encounters a new shader, which is quite annoying. I'm testing on an AMD RX580, so ACO would probably help here.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI remember having a little Eliza program on my TRS-80 when I was a teenager. It would parrot back stuff you said, with little "How does it make you feel that bla?" and so forth. Incredibly simplistic, you could look at the code (in BASIC!) and see that it only had a few tricks, and yet on those rare occasions when you weren't just deliberately trying to make the results sound silly it could feel surprisingly lifelike.

A Finnish computer magazine published a localized Eliza-clone as printed C64 BASIC code in the early 80's. I had a lot of fun rewriting the lines with a friend to make the tone just slightly darker: Instead of chatting with your therapist, you had a casual conversation with your friendly executioner before he chopped your head off. I wasn't a teenager yet, but I was apparently old enough to appreciate a bit of gallows humour.

Quoting: WendigoSounds interesting, both the name and the fact that it is about an AI remind of Josef Weizenbaums ELIZA:

Either an obvious reference/homage or a really unlikely coincidence.

Note that while 4.15 is the default kernel, 4.18 and 5.0 are supported and available in the update manager's kernels dialog.
