A... a... another... sale?

You know what, GOG, Steam, Fanatical and all others. You win, you have worn me down. I admit defeat.

CVV/CVV2: 379
Card Expiry: 4/2025

It's an American Express Platinum card with unlimited spending. Just help yourselves and get this over with once and for all....

(No, it's not a real card :tongue: )

Wine 9.0 has a first Release Candidate released

Quoting: RouhollahWould Wine-ge have wayland code after wine 9.0 releases? Is it based on wine or proton?
As far as I can tell Wine-GE is also based on Proton. The name is a bit of a misnomer.

Cautiously hyped for Light No Fire from the No Man's Sky team at Hello Games

There's also d8vk [External Link] for translating Direct3D 8 into Vulkan.

Not used by Proton yet, but most likely will be in the future. (It is bundled with Proton-GE!)

Quoting: PenglingI still love the mental-image of a very blocky crime-sim.
There is Voxel Turf [External Link] that kinda tried to do the Minecraft/voxels/GTA crossover.

Quoting: whizseYeah yeah lightning... What about their willy physics!?
I'm not even interested in a game without willy physics!

(This is sort of an inside joke. Back in the day, at the beginning of the 3d acceleration age, I had gotten a Voodoo 1 card (Pure3d, had 6mb of ram instead of the typical 4, because I knew how to research hardware!). Friend of mine made a comment of 'I don't care about the graphics, as long as the game is fun.' Then I showed him how Unreal looked on 3Dfx. It was mind blowing back then. He changed his tune after that and said that he wouldn't play a game unless it looked amazing... strange dude.)
Sounds like your friend was ahead of the curve!

Oh man, the 6mb card. All I had was the 4mb. Now I'm gonna question all my life choices...
