Quoting: ArehandoroWhat's the main difference between The Last Express and The Last Express Gold Edition? Is it a good remaster? Although, at that price, not that it matters... 😅
The Gold Edition isn't supported in ScummVM, if that's important for you?

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth arrives April 27, will run "great" on Steam Deck

How lovely, I had no idea these were a thing! Quite appropriate too as I'm in the middle of (re) reading the books!

It is available subtitled in Swedish too! Anything else would just be plain wrong. I still consider it heresy that the Moomin cookies (produced in Finland) say Moomin Biscuits on the box and not Muminkex! 😫

I feel I'm one bad sector, one failed memtest away from being radicalized...

Oh look at that, it's cheaper to buy an AR-15 than 64 GB of RAM [External Link], how convenient!

Quoting: ShabbyXDo they want a member fee or something? If Valve wants this, paying for that on behalf of Linux seems like such an east thing, I couldn't believe that would be it.
AFAIK the spec is proprietary, secret, and must be licensed, as they nixed AMD's request to do a FLOSS implementation: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/02/the-hdmi-forum-rejected-amds-open-source-hdmi-21-implementation/

Quoting: pbMaybe I'm stupid, but isn't it the same program? If I open Kate and KWrite, they look the same. When I open About, the only difference is the name at the top, both show the same info, including "(c) 2000-2024 The Kate Authors" (sic!). However, the kwrite binary is 4x smaller than kate, so I'm probably missing something. Maybe KWrite is like Notepad and Kate is like Notepad++, if you forgive the comparison. ;-)
