Left 4 Dead 2 is confirmed to be getting an update in collab with the community

A VR version, a Engine Update, or anything really -- I'll take it. Left 4 Dead is a real fun game, I used to LAN it in 2007 with school mates.

Of course top of my list would be Left 4 Dead 3 VR/Traditional ;P

I was expecting more WHATABOUTISM using ego defense mechanism RATIONALIZING how Microsoft is GOOD or TRUSTWORTHY or I LIKE THEM, lol.

Good for Blender, and good on the community not being over CHARMED by these simple business deeds.

Looks like you can play StarCraft / BroodWar on Pi4 too so that's hella awesome,

I like the VESA mount -- could make a good Client / Server Linux setup just mounted on the back of a monitor anywhere in the house.

I am big on Aluminum though and not Plastic, but it is cheap so idk looks interesting.

I feel like they are a little disconnected from the market, from what I've seen the market wants a strong AMD gpu laptop device.

Valve moves on from OpenVR, goes all-in with OpenXR for SteamVR

Speculation: They bet on all the race horses and once the winner emerges they narrow their bets. VR is emerging technology.

Very exciting to see OpenXR developments, It's going to be a exciting year for VR @ Valve & hopefully VR @ Linux too.

Hmm, another game I used to be interested in but never played.

I'm not 100% sold on EA, I'd hate to buy into their stuff only to have them screw me over again.

Maybe someday.

Edit: Or maybe there's a bigger argument to be made about how DRM-free and offline discs prevent this kind of bullshit before it can ever even happen.

System Shock reboot gets a weirdly chill new trailer

Quoting: GuestMeh, still waiting for the System Shock Enhanced Edition update. Its now 5 years since they promised that.
Forgive my ignorance, but with the source code released, is there something missing?

Maybe make a bug report asking for enhanced source code to be released?
