Quoting: kuhpunktJust a random question. How do you guys pronounce TR1X when you read/say it? Tee Are One Axe? Tricks?

I just spell it out, same as your suggestion.

I also pronounce GUI "Gee You Ai" because while Gooey is a word, GUI is not. Like, would someone say Oohsah/Ussah instead of the letters for USA? No, because that'd be dumb.

Might be fighting words for some, but this makes me glad I'm a bit old hat and generally not a fan of rolling distributions, which is who this mainly applies to. This attack entered the effected package only a couple months ago for pete's sake.

Nice to see. I hope some of this applies to the Linux version too, which I had a lot of trouble with -- in particular too many particle effects would cause the game to come to an absolute crawl on a GTX 1070, but it was fine if you ran the windows version via Proton instead. The last world in the game was also very buggy, and I even ran into a game-breaking bug I had to enable no-clip to escape.

All in all, I still greatly enjoyed Black Mesa, and still highly recommend it!

Interested, but I'll definitely wait for a store release that supports both Windows and Linux with the same purchase. GOG or Steam probably.

Is the name supposed to be a play on Fortune Street?

Which by the way, if y'all haven't played Fortune Street on the Wii it's a great game.

It's a solid project and obviously the way forward, but it's still under active and heavy development and is hardly mature.

What RHEL is really saying is it's mature enough for them and their use case, and like everything RedHat does, they state things like they represent linux as a whole and can be pretty heavy handed about it.

That said, they do hold a lot of sway, and this will likely put even more pressure on others to follow suit. Let's just hope others do so in a good, positive, way.

Quoting: ThibugSo instead of making the store better (Still no proper review system), they are using money to get developers onboard and hope that customers will follow... Next news, Epic laid off 50% of their staff because they are losing money ?

That was my first thought too. Pretty much everyone hates using the store and their client, but they seem entirely oblivious or unwilling to deal with it. Even if they add reviews, the client itself is still terrible.

I've said it before, but I imagine devs putting games on stores other then steam -- even making sales on them -- at least partially rely on steam for most of those sales. Why? Because I'm fairly sure most people would look up a game on steam prior to making a purchase.

Considering how the people at the top sold so much of their stock prior to the announcement, they knew what the reaction would be like. I suppose it's possible they underestimated it figuring themselves too big to fail.

Hopefully people just move on from the slimy company and be done with it.

I wonder how this applies to stores like GOG, where the installers can be used on multiple computers with a single purchase.

Would it discourage devs from selling on stores like GOG without DRM?

Quoting: grigiLooking at the old/new visual differences, I feel like the new RTX version doesn't capture the same kind of feel as the original.

I was commenting on this to some friends earlier. The RT looks great, but it seems like the original has something of a blue-grayish tint giving it a general mood that is removed on the RTX version.
