And still no Valve Index restock.
Damn, I want to buy this kit before I come to the conclusion that it is too expensive.

Quoting: gojulMy next PC in several years from now will be AMD-based.

However this issue only affects Skylake-based CPUs, and I have Haswell on which TSX is disabled.

Intel will probably disable TSX on newer CPUs which apparently became a good tradition by now.

Quoting: EikeI got the impression that the first reboot Tomb Raider did something right with this respect. The world felt open to me, but the story always led me. So what I played was linear, but I never felt... encaged.

Oh indeed, I really liked all of the trilogy reboot.
Very well executed, despite being completely linear.

Has anyone scanned through the AMA answers?

Didn't find anything new for us Linux folks.
Tend to think it's not due to the sheer amount of questions. :/

Quoting: Liam DaweValve are doing an AMA on Reddit today at 5PM UTC: https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfLife/ [External Link]

Did you join the AMA, Liam? :)

I hope we get an answer to if our beloved platform will be supported.
So far none of the many questions regarding Linux have been answered.

I'm currently replaying the series for the first time in a very long time.

Black Mesa was great.
Now close to the end of HL2 (base game).

Imho, this game has aged particularly well.
Also, I don't mind the linearity that's very often criticised (by younger gamers?).
I love good handcrafted stories and this one is undoubtedly extremely well executed.

Maybe that's one reason I'm not that much into open-world/sandbox games, where content is
too a large extend very repetitive or procedurally generated.
(Exception: I LOVED 'Breath of the Wild'!)

Hope the Index is available again soon.

AFAIK Baldur's Gate 3 won't release this year.
Not too long ago I read it was still in early development. :/

Quoting: fleskLooks like a fun game. The only thing I'm a bit skeptical about is that the world is randomized somehow, according to the video.

I agree.

Most of the time I read "randomly-generated levels" it's a downer.
I totally appreciate well handcrafted levels matching a good story design.
