Nebuchadnezzar looks like a beautifully styled classic isometric city builder coming to Linux

I love how they applied the formula instead of trying to adapt of change the formula. This style of graphics is a style and it looks executed amazingly and with major appeal.

Why do I get the feeling Nvidia is trying to step up their Linux game after AMD ate their dinner and got the Google Stadia contract.

Poor bastards are fighting the inevitable pentecostal shouting for a open source driver.

I smell bullshit. Just bump the game to 2019.3 only for the Linux branch compile and release.

Fixing issues as you go is okay, not realeasing for their linux backers is NOT. Linux gamers are not as finicky as win and mac they greatly underestimate us. They owe their backers and need to do their best and then release whatever they have.

Google have confirmed the Stadia launch date is November 19

Dota 2 matchmaking may be less terrible now for solo players and more difficult for toxic people

Ever played a game of Dota 2 by yourself and get matched against an entire team of people? I have, it sucks.
Good luck playing a match around The International timeframe, you will get 5 man rolled regularly, the enemy team will all my linked up via Discord communicating or in person and you and your teamies have to pray you have at least 1 player good enough to snowball your team to victory.

For being such a common issue, it's nice to see Valve doing their best to make incremental issues on these kinds of things instead of just shrugging.

Using the Elgato Stream Deck on Linux just got a whole lot easier with streamdeck_ui

Actually thought about buying this for years.

Then I got into mechanical keyboards and suddenly want to revamp the entire QWERTY layout for myself since there are so many legacy elements that haven't been fleshed out in modernization but just legacy carry-over, like numpad on the right vs left, etc...

I guess this project will make me think about buying again. I would love to use this in a Tiling Window Manager and make window controls like "Close, Resize, Maximize, Move Window on Mouse Drag, etc..."

Cool, I hope to see it get checked out by game devs and included and improved.

The Blender team have secured even more funding, this time from NVIDIA

As much as I dislike Nvidia for things they've done in the past and have drifted away from using, or recommending them.

And as much as the business man in me see's the blatant exchange of resources and mutual interests usually described as "a job", "partnership", or "contract"...

Hell, mutual dependence and investment of funds into a FOSS project I am totally cool with. Thumbs up.

Ah yes something to play with our wives and girlfriends to turn them into giggling anime characters.

A French court has ruled that Valve should allow people to re-sell their digital games

My take on this:

Digital License* is a supplement for a Physical Good -- namely a DVD game that retains value and be resold.

I can see Frances take on this being practical, and from a consumer perspective I 100% agree with users should be able to sell games or accounts (collections of games).

Where it gets tricky for Valve is I am not sure what their license terms stipulate with content creators and if they legally have the authority to implement this feature.

Assuming they are strong-armed be the law though I can't see how publishers and content creators can really hold them accountable when they are forced to legally comply.

I agree with France, I also think that this should not be a suit against Valve but effect all digital software goods hopefully not only in France but the greater world.
