Quoting: GuestNow if only their pages would work in my browser. First only my library page, then also the main store page, and just now I realize even the single game pages do not display at all anymore. Guess I'll stay with GOG then.

(Yes, I reported the issue long time ago already. They don't care.)

Which browser is that? Are you sure it's the browser and not a script blocker add-on of some sort? I just tried three popular browsers (all with an advert blocker of some sort) and everything works fine.

Quoting: liamdaweAnother day another big sale, I love the summer.

Summer is nice, but way too short. What's wrong with spring and autumn? I'd rather sit inside playing games when it's not sunny and warm outside. Also the GOG and Steam sales drained my gaming budget for months... :/

Would have been my choice as well, congrats Frank!

I did make it deep blue instead of orange (that's what I'm used to), blurred the grain a bit and slightly resized the icons layer, thanks for the xcf source! I have to admit I also removed the text, as I found it distracting. I don't need reminders, it's not like I'd forget my favourite corner of the intertubes in a hurry. :wub:

Just got a rather lacklustre answer from an Asus tech to my (half serious) query about the reported problems with the Strix 960. Here's an excerpt.

Quoting: AsusIf you are worried that the card or motherboard will fail due to this within the next 3 years, then that would be unlikely. We have not gotten any complaints that the 960 would have broken some motherboards or anything like that.

I guess "unlikely" is something, although "impossible" would have been more reassuring. :)

Quoting: pete910Is that AMD-Bridgman ?

Yessir...

Welcome, and thanks for your part in AMD's open source efforts. Must feel like carving a mountain with a teaspoon at times, but please persevere, good man. I look forward to switching back to AMD in the (hopefully near) future.

Quoting: ShmerlDoes this guy look like Trump on purpose?

Yes, he does. And the lady is supposed to be Clinton. World Leaders DLC or somesuch. I do wonder what part of the world they're supposed to be leaders of at this point in time though.

Just keep in mind that the free photo sites might have licenses that are incompatible with Creative Commons BY-4.0 and/or CC0, thus preventing their use in this competition. But that should be easy to check if you remember where you got them.

Quoting: edoonly for windows users, more vulkan/windows only games
"UPDATED 2016-07-01: A minor patch was released for Windows users to improve compatibility with upcoming Vulkan games, in addition to all of the following changes from the June update."

Maybe, or maybe this simply fixed a Windows-specific problem. Doesn't really say anything about the implied games (if any) being Windows only, although I'm sure we will see Windows-exclusive Vulkan games.

I have one of those Asus Strix cards, and so does my nephew. My understanding is that any decent mobo already covers for this possibility with components well above the spec, but it's indeed a concern for those interested in overclocking. I'm not, so I should be okay. I did send a technical support query to Asus though, asking if this has been addressed in later revisions of the card and also what this means in practice. It'll be interesting to see what they answer.

I used to play Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies so much on the Amiga in the mid-nineties that I'm still pretty much burned out on pinball. In fact most of my family was hooked on them.

Quoting: natewardawgToo bad it's under the "General" section instead of being under a specific platform. :/

Why is that bad?
