Quoting: GamewizardGood to hear it's still happening as there is a packaging sprint planned to get more DSFG games packaged up. As there are a ton that some people have requested to be packaged that still are not and a few of them it would probably help them get more exposure as a project. It's not like Debian is unaware about gaming if they where well then Steam wouldn't be one of the most common packages on the non-free section on the repo to be installed by desktop users.

EDIT: Words are hard.

DSFG?

I think they meant DFSG [External Link].

Quoting: LinasWasn't Iron Danger supposed to get a Linux version? What happened to that?

I think that was Iron Harvest.

It was both.

Quoting: IvancilloI only see outside views of the cars.

Has this game inside cabin view?

No. As Liam writes in the very first sentence of this article, it's a "top-down racing game".

Not in the Humbles bundle at least. There was Overgrowth and Overlord II though...

It's always possible that it has been in some other bundle.

It was in the itch.io "Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality".

Quoting: MaximBThey had a great and very successful fighting game Skullgirls,
But instead of creating a sequel they created a new game none had asked for...and failed.
So sad. :(

This is the correct response.

Skullgirls was fantastic - and I'm not even a "fighting game" guy ("button masher" on those rare days when I do play them...)! But instead of making a sequel, they made some other game that was boring and unoriginal...

I guess I'll have to point out that there were people like me who had no interest in Skullgirls, but were looking forward to playing Indivisible. To me, the former looks like just another boring fighting game, whereas the latter hints at an interesting story and has some interesting platforming/RPG mechanics. Different strokes etc.

I love a good first person puzzler, but I can wait. Not like I'll run out of games to play any time soon.

Quoting: bisbyxcompared the 3070 to the 2080ti, then compared the 3080 to the 2080 (non super). They primed your brain so when you hear "twice as fast" you think "twice as fast as the 2080ti"... Even though 25% faster than the 2080ti is exactly what their graph (shown in the article) roughly says.

interesting I didn't notice the 2080ti at first glance they put it like in furthest part of the graph another marketing technique here??

That is just a consequence of 2080ti's price. For the marketing trick you need to be at the other side of the graph. I'll leave it for you to discover; it's quite subtle.

You mean how the price axis starts at $200?

Quoting: emphyThese cards are all way out of range of what I consider to be acceptable pricing, no matter how good the performance.

What's much more interesting to me is that the rx5700xt numbers are not all that much behind in the reviews (price/performance ratio) and that I am already seeing those cards in the used market for *very* reasonable prices, which I expect to get even more tempting in the coming few months.

have the drivers gotten better for this cards I'm hoping they drop in price when RDNA2 comes out I game on a 1080 tv so I don't need crazy powerful card?

Has been working great for me for the better part of a year now. I also game on a 1080p TV and it runs everything I own at maximum settings with power to spare.

Quoting: slapinNvidia is big time SoC vendor (tegra) and this is very bad for market, where are anti-trust laws?

As Liam notes in the article: "This includes regulatory approvals across the U.K., China, the European Union and the United States which they're estimating to take 18 months." Of these the EU and maybe the U.K. are the only entities I could possibly see pushing back, but I doubt they will.

Quoting: barottoIf AMD's track record with the 5000 series is of any indication, I wouldn't consider the RX 6000 as usable in Linux with the open drivers for another 6 months after launch, minimum.

You could be right. Although the fact that RDNA2 is basically just a refresh of RDNA might shave off a few months.

I wouldn't call a +50% perf/watt jump on the same 7nm node a simple refresh... and RDNA2 will have ray tracing support in the asic as well.

But I hope you're right, because day-1 RX 5000 support was tragic.

I'm just going by AMD's own marketing. Didn't say it was simple, but it certainly isn't a brand new HW architecture. I recall similar power efficiency improvements between the RX300 and RX400 series of their Polaris GPUs, and that was a refresh as well. The ray tracing stuff technically shouldn't hinder bringing up support for anything else, seeing as it's additional and fairly separate functionality on top of the RDNA base.

In any case, let's hope for a better launch this time. I'm happy with my 5700 XT and will be skipping this generation completely unless something really unexpected happens, but I'd certainly prefer it if early adopters had a better time on Linux.
