Recently did the umpteenth replay when the 25th anniversary
release hit Steam - but with filtering off.
Definite version for me.

Quoting: nenoroWhen you realize people have more love than big companies

Not sure you mean Valve in particular.

Stumbled across that video last week and it kind of made me understand
better why it's so hard for them to get new content out of the door.

Spoiler, click me

And how a community project probably saved Portal 2 from never being released (as many other Valve projects).

Will be a no brainer.
So far every single title from them was ace.

Not to mention the lovelya and awesome NES port of Alwa's Awakening, that left me speechless.

Quoting: FrankHorriganThe creator of The Force Engine seems to have collaborated on the Dark Forces remake to some extent. He put up an FAQ to clarify questions here: FAQ

A bit sad he didn't get any money for his consulting service.
Though, he doesn't complain and sees other benefits.

But still.

Some of Forslind's recent tweets

A retweet of Whoopi Goldberg blasting Blizzard for not releasing Diablo IV on Mac:

"I totally understand that AAA doesn't release their games on Mac since they're a business and what's important is money. But indies that doesn't release on Mac, that always makes me surprised. It's feels great to make a game and make it accessible as possible!"

Further down the thread, though. :/

"I didn't really take a stand for Linux & Mac. I learned everything I can about game dev from my time at Image & Form and they did Linux/Mac for all their SteamWorld games up until they became AAA. I'd assume if Elden Pixels becomes huge some day we'll go Windows-only too :)"

Btw, big fan of Elden Pixel's games so far!

FGLRX

Quoting: CorbenAnd here am I, using nVidia since decades, barely having issues and even being happy about DLSS and nvenc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I remember being very disappointed about ATi back then, when the fglxr driver wasn't updated for X anymore and I couldn't use my Radeon X1950 Pro anymore, and the card wasn't even that old. nVidia instead still supports really old cards with their legacy drivers on modern systems.

Sure it all changed in the meantime, from my experience though nVidia cards are not half as bad as you could get the impression by some comments. Neither my Ubuntu nor Arch system had issues with the proprietary drivers (fingers crossed).

Quoting: subDo they have enough docs from Nvidia in order to not rely on reversing stuff?

It's mostly reverse engineered. Collabora posted about it a while ago.

Thanks!

*MEH* so much wasted energy on stuff that should just be documented.
