So apparently they removed both the EA App and Denuvo? The store page says you only need to agree to the EULA now.

Being a lifelong fan of the Sims, this is quite a surprise. However I will not touch this with a 10 foot pole until they take off this ridiculous DRM and account requirement. I'm not gonna jump through hoops to play 25 or 20 year old games that i already have anyways on physical disc, Jesus

Of course, right after I order an expensive custom computer from a boutique builder with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and a 4080 Super. My new build that I won't even receive for another 2 or so weeks is now out of date already. Oh well, at least it will be fully repairable and upgradable in the future to newer stuff, unlike my old computer that died last month, which was a godawful HP Omen that was proprietary garbage that I was given during the pandemic.
Your computer is NOT suddenly "out of date" just because something new releases. The 9800x3d is still the best gaming CPU and will last you for years. The dual-CCD 99x3d are likely to be worse just like last-gen for gaming so not a big loss. And 4080 Super is a great card with superior raster and RT performance

Fedora Asahi Remix 41 brings AAA gaming to Apple Silicon with Linux

In my opinion, Apple can never be be the future of gaming thanks to its 'walled garden' approach and because they change CPU architecture about as often as I change clothes. Many games that used to work don't any more because they were built for Intel Macs, and before that, PowerPC

I always use mangohud as a global frame limit. Seems weird that this option was previously absent on Linux itself tho. Nice to see it finally get added

The Witcher IV revealed with Ciri as the protagonist

Quoting: EhvisNot surprising and a good choice. They have a lot of work to do though. Ciri was not super interesting to play in the few section of TW3 because the mechanics just weren't there. And since Ciri is not an actual witcher, they have a lot gameplay design work to do. So we can probably expect something quite different.

Should help the story as well. She's an established character with plenty of opportunities for growth and epic stories. And the fact that it makes it easy to run into Geralt over the course of the games will help too.

But it'll be many years before we see this, so my part will just be making sure I survive that long. :grin:
Apparently somewhere between the end of TW3 and the beginning of this game, she got made a Witcher (sidenote: did you notice the Lynx medallion on her? So we'll probably get to see this school in the game, or members of it).She also has cat eyes, can use potions, and signs. All signs point to her having undergone the mutations
