"Valve is getting back to focusing on gaming, with Linux support being retired"

The day will come.

Mark my words. They'll try some more attempts to push Linux that will fail like the attempts before.
Not least because big part of the game-related media is inherently anti Linux.
And you need those guys!

At some point Valve will give up.

Yes, I hope I'm totally wrong.

Shovel Knight and Alwa's Awakening are both fantastic NES-style platformers.
Had lots of fun with them.

Quoting: ShmerlWould be nice for someone to make a campaign to develop open positioning algorithms for Vive and other VR headsets, so OpenHMD could use it.

Btw, I'd support a project that reverse engineers the VFX (and probably others) and implements a wrapper to modern a VR systems in DOSBox.

I finally want to play Magic Carpet 1+2 on a Rift. :)

I'm sure they're aiming for a 25th anniversary release.

Everyone into old-school FPS should give Quake1 mod Arcane Dimensions a try.

*Really*

Simon's stuff is amazing imho.

Quoting: lelouch

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiT7 nm but only GTX 2080 performance? Why? For the same price?

Nice only because we got a open well performing driver on Linux for AMD. Still I'm not much impressed.

Half of the structure (14nm -> 7nm) cannot bring you double of the performance, because the are negative physical effects working against you (read a physics book for details).

Integration density ideally scales quadratically with the inverse of the structure size.
Hence, half the structure size should roughly result in a 4 times higher integration density.

Yet there are many contribution of losses that do not allow performance to scale linearly with the integration density.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)

I'm sure Half-Life 3 will be a card game.

We can thank Valve that the new stores support Linux or that there is at least a serious discussion to do so.

I pretty sury without Steam offering Linux support we wouldn't be there.
