I sympathies with OBS on this one. It must be really tiring getting all this negative feedback from users having problems with a package they have no control over. Really just let the projects that have the resources handle their packages themselves.

Stellaris is an fantastic game that I keep coming back to from time to time. It's great to see that it' still supported after all these years. I have not had any performance issues other than very large battles. Those can really stress your CPU xD

Isn't desktop Discord client essentially a glorified Electron application running in embedded Chromium engine? So you could just use it in Firefox and screen sharing on Wayland worked fine.

Isn't all this hate on Electron getting a bit old? I'm sure screen sharing a desktop to show a presentation or what not works just fine. But have you tried sharing game play with sound using Firefox? It is not a pleasant experience for the viewers and really isn't suited for this use case, at least currently.

I have tried so many different solutions this past year and they have all been lacking in one way or another. Some was cumbersome, like having two clients running (one for the user and one for the game). Others worked for a time but broke after an update. Every solution either had issues with frame rate being to low or sound not working properly. None of that matters though now since we have a working solution.

The TLDR is that currently Discord is the best solution for streaming game play to friends. It's reliable (on my system), it's easy and it's performant (enough). I don't particularly like Discord and I'm a little bit worried that we get dependent on one proprietary solution. But it's what we currently have and at least it's finally working on Linux.

I have been using screens haring in Discord Canary for the last month or so under Wayland and it has been working fine. I didn't even notice it got pulled since they fixed it so fast :) This is such a blessing. I was almost ready to switch back to Windows but thankfully I don't have to know.

Thanks Liam for being inhumanly fast on reporting about it :)

And yet the "Labour of love" Steam Award, for games getting regular updates long after their release, went to two years old Elden Ring. Go figure...

Steam awards have always been a popularity contest more than anything. The actual award categories means very little. I haven't played Black Myth, though I hear it's good, but is it good enough for three awards? Hats off to the to the hoards of chinese fans.

Quoting: ZlopezR.I.P. From Software :-(

Why? It's a non-controlling share. They are one investor among many I would imagine.

Quoting: EhvisIt's 10% of the shares. Not exactly something that lets Sony control what's going to happen.

No probably more to ensure access on their platforms and discourage any future deals that would prevent releases on PS5/PS Plus/PS Now. They did the something similar with Epic and Discord for example.

Quoting: sudoerlol they turned illuminates into zombies now? :grin:

consider me unimpressed.

That's just the hordes they turned, there's plenty of actual Illuminates.

Imo studios should be more creative than following the rather repetitive Left4Dead formula. It's been done to death already.

Left 4 Dead hardly invented zombies. I see very little resemblance between Helldivers and Left 4 Dead if any at all.

Anyway this patch looks absolutely MASSIVE! The Illuminate, vehicles and we get to fight on Super Earth? Looks like I will gather my friends to defend freedom this evening :)

Quoting: BrokattI had to google it. Apparently it's a german federal tech agency.

Yes, my first question was Sovereign to which country?

It would have been great to have more context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Tech_Fund [External Link]

Even their website avoids saying anything about Germany on most pages. Weird.
https://www.sovereign.tech/about [External Link]

It's not immediately clear, but they don't exactly hide it either: https://www.sovereign.tech/faq [External Link].

No they don't hide hit. This page is a little bit better.
