True. And in the 1950s and earlier they might have talked about "the way the future was" in the 1800s, as imagined by authors like Verne. Although that particular way is still very much alive in modern steampunk.

How does one pronounce this? Uhehoooo? Ooheooo?

That's not an umlaut over the first "O", I think it's... ears or whatever the playable character has on its head. And the lowercase "o"s after it are the bombs it drags around behind it. At least that's how it seems to me.

Linux Mint is cartainly not bad though - just that it requires lots of polish (and maybe they lack resources than Ubuntu just have).

I haven't used Ubuntu in a long while, but my main reason for switching to Mint for my day-to-day needs was specifically the additional polish it provides on top of its Ubuntu base, and how little customisation it requires out of the box to suit my workflows.

I suppose what we think of as "polish" might often simply be a projection of our personal preferences. And my own preferences seem to align pretty well with those of the Mint dev team.

...CarX Street might be the first commercially-shipped Linux-native game to use Epic Online Services' Easy Anti-Cheat?

Not quite, if the GOL Anticheat page Liam linked to is to be believed. 7 Days to Die has been out for a good while with Linux native Easy Anti-Cheat. And Mini Royale is in Early Access, not sure if you count that as "commercially shipped".

I'm not sure I'd care enough to pay for this, but I might give the demo a try. I should have an old webcam somewhere. If not, I should be able to use a DSLR as a substitute.

It would be cool to see an open source implementation, seeing as there's a lot of code available for eye and face tracking already. Nothing gaming-focused though, as far as I know. Maybe a well designed library with a suitable license so that game and engine devs could integrate the functionality directly, with the reference implementation working a bit like this app, as an external provider with a configuration UI.

All over Reddit, all the cool kids are running Linux.

All the cool kids were running Linux 25 years ago, in my very humble and impartial opinion. :grin:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I wonder why they chose the GZDoom engine for this? You know, as opposed to modding Fallout 3, NV or 4 instead.

For fun? For the challenge? Because they didn't want to make just another mod, but something entirely different? That's just three excellent reasons off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others.

Personally, I think this looks like an absolutely brilliant and wonderfully wacky mashup of a classic (Black Isle) Fallout CRPG and a retro FPS. Granted, I'd suck at this game so I doubt I'll ever play it myself, but I know a fellow GOL member who just might stream a playthrough at some point. If he does, I'll definitely catch that.

I don't think I ever meddle with it myself but NVIDIA's "Resizable BAR" and AMD's "SAM"(Smart Access Memory) on AMD side should be a toggle in bios. It's all a feature of the PCIe standard, so try searching somewhere inside PCI settings.

Motherboard vendors handle this differently as usual, but as for ASUS, it's actually called Resizable BAR in the BIOS (UEFI) even on my all-AMD system, and the setting is right at the top of the "EZ Mode" dashboard.

Congratulations GOL, and thank you Liam (and contributors) for all you do.

And we have no plans to use any AI generation for anything. It's all hand-crafted spelling errors and terrible grammar here.

Good! Resist the enshittification!

Oh, and for those who liked it, our PC Info system is coming back. Stay tuned, it needs some work though to modernise it and fix a lot of issues it had in the background.

:heart:
