Quoting: ArehandoroThe game might not look quite as nice as Gibbous, but it's still a lot prettier and better animated than a whole bunch of excellent adventure games. I won't mind at all if this is what the finished product looks like.Quoting: dibzVery much hope so :)Quoting: ArehandoroGibbous was an overall very good game, and probably near-mage too, but somehow the art looks of lower quality than it predecessor. It also looks like the world is based on will be the same than Gibbous.I thought exactly the same thing watching the trailer. Perhaps it's just because it's so early?

Quoting: LoftyI've got plenty of opinions and I'm not shy about speaking my mind, yet nobody has ever called me a conspiracy theorist. Maybe I need to try harder?Quoting: tuubiCareful, having your own opinion is a conspiracy theory these days.Quoting: kuhpunktEmbrace, extend, extinguish?There's bound to be an Extender Group looming in the background, biding their time to acquire Embracer, and finally an Extinguisher Group that snags the whole bunch just before they declare bankruptcy and go down in flames. (No, wait...)
Anyway, I'm sure it's all a big conspiracy.

Quoting: antisolDamn whingers with their fake winters...Quoting: tuubiI don't think you've earned the right to use the word. Let's call it summer lite or something.Haha, nah that's totally winter. I was looking at my thermometer the other night at about 2am and it was down to 10 degrees! Ten! I think we can all agree that's just intolerable ;)

Quoting: GuestIm sad with the new UI. It looks good but i get around 3 fps when scrolling in steam ui on my gtx 1080 (at 4k resolution). This only happens on linux. Its sad to see that valve has ignored this issue for many years. The old UI ran at 144 fps on my computer (fps limit).Try toggling GPU acceleration in Steam's interface settings if you haven't already. That might help while you wait for a proper fix.

The System76 Launch Configurable Keyboard is tiny, sturdy and very slick

Quoting: sigzNo reward either.Quoting: tuubiThere is no learning curve for that...Quoting: sigzI don't understand why we still build keyboards with staggered keys... Orthogonal columns/rows is the best way to make modern keyboards, the legacy disposition must disappear.Because some of us don't want to learn to touch type again after decades of using staggered ones? The advantages are mostly academic with full size keyboards anyway.
One size does not fit all.
My experiences of Valve's VR on Linux
24 Jul 2021 at 11:09 am UTC
In the past, there have been a bunch of games that needed workarounds on Arch but ran perfectly out of the box on Ubuntu (and Mint), often due to developers only testing on Ubuntu's latest LTS as recommended by Valve among others. Dying Light comes to mind as an example.
Things have been getting better though, and I don't see these kinds of discussions and articles as often these days.

Quoting: ValsoSteam installs with a click but that installs only Steam - not the relevant libraries needed for gaming, those you have to install manually.The package brings in all of its own direct dependencies. Game developers are responsible for their own dependencies and testing, and that's how it's supposed to be. If a native game on Steam needs you to manually install something on a supported distribution, that warrants a bug report to the developer. Or are you saying the Steam package should depend on every single library some game or app on Steam might want to make use of as well?
Quoting: ValsoWhen I was that inexperienced user I had exactly the same thoughts several times but fortunately I had a very patient friend to help me deal with all of the Mint problems, so that I didn't have to go back to Windows. :)I'm pretty sure you'd have had the same amount of trouble on any distribution due to your inexperience. Unless you assume those four years taught you nothing about Linux and you'd have had no trouble at all on Arch (as it was years ago) as a newbie.
