Making this an absolutely pointless feature for me, since ALL of my gaming is done offline with no Internet.

Valve's stats don't include time spent in offline mode or when you're without internet.

Switched to LibreWolf a month ago. Won't be going back. Sorry, Mozilla, the trust is gone. A new, useless CEO won't change that.
Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 7 on Linux, D7VK has a 1.0 release out now

It may not be as bad as you think. According to my research, the GeForce GTX 980 supports Vulkan 1.3 in Linux and Vulkan 1.4 in Windows. Conversely, the Radeon RX 480 supports Vulkan 1.4 in Linux (latest Mesa) and Vulkan 1.3 in Windows.
The GeForce 10 Series supports Vulkan 1.3 (1.4 in Windows). I know, as I have a member of that series. Strange about the GeForce 20 Series.* Even my older GeForce GT 730M supports Vulkan 1.2 in Linux and Vulkan 1.3 in Windows.
😀
* Apparently, it was initially limited to Vulkan 1.1 but it now supports up to Vulkan 1.4 in both Linux and Windows.

Quoting: tpauGeforce below 20xx series and amd below 480 are stuck on 1.1.
I happen to have both Geforce 980 and AMD RX 480.

I guess that might explain the state of the Linux version of their Storage Executive Software. It used to be available with a GUI. From what I can see, the latest version is only available with a CLI. The old GUI version won't run on Mint 22 (Ubuntu 24.04).
Not surprised about the price increase on memory. Pricing has cycled like that before. Especially when the big three are colluding to create artificial scarcity. I am a little surprised, however, that a major hardware component company has decided to put all their eggs in one basket like they've done. Not a very wise business decision. Consumers will remember the slight.
Edit: Fixed typo on Ubuntu version number.

I've had Total War: MEDIEVAL II – Definitive Edition on my Steam wishlist for a while now. I guess I'll be putting it on my GOG wishlist now.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. They haven't even updated the publisher to MicroProse yet.

More developers should do this!
Making the 4K textures/graphics an optional package is also an excellent idea. Who knows, it might even help them reduce their minimum system requirements.

Since the most recent game I got was already two years old when I purchased it (Stray), this really doesn't mean much to me.
