Quoting: slaapliedjeSweet, GURPS rules? Would be amazing if it did!

There are GURPS rules for Girl Genius. I supported the Kickstarter, got that sweet hardcover rulebook in a drawer in the little table by my armchair.

I rather liked the woody look. I've had a computer since I was a kid (and I'm in my 50s); they're not a new whizzbang futuristic idea any more. A computer case is basically furniture. Most of my other furniture is wood. So I thought it was kind of refreshing for a computer case to go for that woody warmth.

Quoting: DrMcCoylol, 450W. I'm sorry, but this is utterly ridiculous.

I'm waiting for cards to reach the point where you start playing a game, the graphics card starts drawing power, and the breaker blows.

Quoting: CatKillerBit weird that they have Gnome as a minimum requirement.

Yeah, I don't remember any Gnomes in Girl Genius :wink:

Quoting: einherjarAnother possible explanation would be, that the demand is less then they thought.

It's possible that the demand is less than they thought, but that would not be an explanation for this.

The situation is that we had X numbers of preorders which were expected to take N long to fill. Now those same preorders are going to take N-something long to fill. This is not about previously unknown demand levels. The only two explanations are, first, what they claimed directly and we have no reason to disbelieve: That they increased production faster than they had expected (read: Faster than they had been willing to claim for fear of falling short if they boosted expectations too high). Or, second, that for some reason a whole lot of people with preorders dropped them. But that seems fairly unlikely because the thing has been getting pretty good press, buzz, and reactions from owners as far as I can tell--so why would someone who had bought the hype to the extent of preordering give up on it? It's sure to have happened, but not at unexpected levels.

(On the separate issue, it seems unlikely that the demand is less than they thought, because it seems to have been selling briskly, and they recently claimed the number of orders has been rising. What is possible is that their Asian launch won't be that successful, but that's yet to be seen)

Quoting: fireplaceWhat was the point of that update? Do snaps still exist? I thought ubuntu is using flatpak by default now?

I haven't heard of that being the case.

Quoting: CatKiller

Xbox version

Interesting that this is their first port of call when PlayStation and Switch are both bigger markets. Maybe they just have an Xbox themselves.

Is it an easier port?

So how's Yuzu on the Deck? Which is better to play Switch games on, the actual Switch or the Deck?
