Belgian actually.

No idea about the state of arousal in that country.

Their national dishes is Mussel & Chips. The country is stuck between Netherland (Amsterdam Red light district) and France (self-explanatory). I would say, quite horny .

Manjaro and Slimbook team up for the Slimbook Hero Linux gaming laptop

Quoting: NathanaelKStottlemyerAlso, I don't want to start a flame war, but isn't Manjaro a bad operating system? I heard multiple Linux people say that it's not good.

I have used Manjaro for years and it was awesome but they tends to have problem with stupid things* so it ended being more trouble than just using Arch directly or Endeavour which is like Manjaro but better. When Endeavour team do a mistake, their apologize on the front page on their website and the mistake is not repeated. I got fed up about things breaking regularly due to Manjaro mismanagement with the solution being shared on the forum by the community.

* For example, they forgot multiple time to renew their SSL which broke package installation and the 2-weeks release cycle ends up being more of a liability than a boon. Apparently they messed up other project on pine too but I'm not sure about that one.

Quoting: bidinouAccording to him, MT is now only 3 persons ? It sounds as if MT had been idle while EE was doing all the job. Strange. Sure, EE did a great job, but the core game we all know and love is the work from MT.

From Deepnigth actually, it was a solo project that eventually gets worked by other MT members. Most of the devs at MT that have worked on Dead Cell has gone to other studio (Shiro Games come to mind). Evil Empire was founded by the marketing department of MT (thus the name) and is the only studio working on Dead Cell for a few years.
Deepnigth has also made the excellent Hamerfest, which was remade by Eternaltwin Eternalfest.
MT has made so many excellent games (and the Haxe programming language). I miss games like Hordre (40 people have to collaborate over weeks in order to survive a zombie invasion) or Skywar (STR with games going for a few days, click per second is very low ^^) that were social experiments as much as game.

As a side note, by reading Deepnigth blog post, I remembered that I am a lead dev at EternalTwin (not the harder working one through ). I should stop slacking now that the source code has been released, seems that I'm going to install Haxe tonigth.

That's very impressive. They can open image file, a thing that Windows 11 can't do natively .

They are usually caused by sudden rise in Chinese steam on Windows usage. A phenomenon not well understood but which tends to occur every few month.

Quoting: pete910Why do people take any notice the steam survey ?
Because it's all we've got?
Conjure me some more accurate, comprehensive, and transparent information and I'll pay attention to that instead.

But why take any notice of inherently flawed data whether its all we've got or not ?

Science works that way, if it's good enough for science, it should be good enough. (Yes, I'm doing experimental not theoretical research )

Quoting: BumadarDoes this mean there is a sudden drop in simplified Chinese?
And more interesting, what cause the rise of simplified Chinese, like an opening I the great Chinese firewall or ?

It's anyone guess. Mine is that any tricks able to fool the time limitation allowed for video game per day in China is able to fool the steam tracker and so there is a significant proportion of Chinese users that are counted multiple time because of some way to fool the trackers preventing children to play more than 3 hours a week.

The previous one was awesome, there were some real gems (and some totally dispensable games too, but overall it was really great ). I am very grateful for having discovered Ato, one of my best video game experience ever and orbi universo thet lead me to endless self-reflection about society. I'm sure this year have amazing games too.
