System76 tease the new Launch Heavy keyboard
26 Nov 2022 at 8:29 am UTC

Their keyboards look really nice, and I'm sure they have a really good build quality (as is standard with System 76), but they are extremely overpriced imo.

Pop!_OS 21.10 rolls out with new Application Library

I'm sorry, but this is just dumb. They turned the vanilla Gnome app grid into... an app grid. They did this with the search and overview features as well, breaking them into separate components. Why waste time and effort on this? They aren't even adding functionality, and they definitely aren't making it LOOK better, it's just inferior versions of what vanilla Gnome already did, and since they are split apart, it's not as cohesive of an experience.

I'll stick with my RG280V for my ultra portable handheld.

I really just want that sexy case!

What have you been playing recently? Come chit-chat with us

On the computer I've been playing Cyber Shadow and Comet 64. I also recently picked up a retro handheld (RG351P) and have been playing the heck out of it, and honestly, I've been playing more of it than my PC games as of late.

Quoting: scainePolitical? When someone is a horrible arsehole, they're just a horrible arsehole... it's not political. People's basic human rights aren't political. There's no need to smugly condescend to those who don't want to fund muppets like this guy.

There are plenty more devs out there able to make games without being like this guy. I'll throw my money at them. Somehow they manage to do their jobs without controversy, and for that, I'm thankful.
I would obviously never tell you how to spend your money, or who or who not to support. The dev also isn't doing anything controversial, he's literally just making a game.
The only thing going on here is a handful of folks crying about some alleged "mean" or "concerning" internet comments made years and years ago. These folks that cry and complain could simply ignore the dev/game and move along, but that's not good enough for them, they feel the need to ruin other people.

Game looks good, I've been been keeping an eye on it for a while now, and it's nice to now have a release date to it (even though it's for EA).
As for the unnecessary article update... I'm perfectly happy to let the politically over-sensitive cry in a corner and miss out.

Valve making steps to address toxic behaviour on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

I don't believe being "toxic" should be a punishable offense. People should just mute or vote kick.

The huge Journey's End update for Terraria is delayed into next year

Quoting: 14My friends say I don't need Terraria if I already have Starbound. Still true?

I assume you can run the world on a dedicated server just like other similar games (Starbound, Minecraft).
You are absolutely missing out on a HUGE gaming gem by skipping out on Terraria.

Intel begins talking up their open source efforts for their upcoming dedicated GPU

This may be autistic, but I'll never pair anything by AMD with NVIDIA or Intel. Which is why both my CPU and GPU are AMD.
