So there's a bunch of people wandering around being total assholes just because, and that's why we can't have nice things. Not a new story.

DIMENSIONAL SLAUGHTER is an absolutely wild sounding fast-paced retro shooter

Quoting: lukas333So many boomer shooters to choose from right now
Y'know, I'm Gen X myself, but I still think it's a bit much to have tons of games about shooting boomers. :tongue:

Slay the Princess is an upcoming choice-driven psychological horror visual novel

Somehow this makes me imagine it's the other side of Long Live the Queen.

(Which is rather darker than the anime style makes it look)

To be honest, I think it would be more accurate (and fair to Feral) to say that Linux desktop sorta abandoned them, not the other way around :/
Agreed. And I mean, it was the right decision, but Feral was an egg that got a bit battered in making the Proton omelet.

Quoting: notmrflibbleIt still needs systemd and is therefore still incompatible with Devuan. I still won't be using it.
Oh, is Devuan still a thing? How is it doing?

Quoting: GuestLooking to jump to Mint 21 Cinnamon once it's out of beta.
Say, do you happen to know if Cinnamon supports a toolbar on the bottom and one on the side these days? I'm using Mate because last couple of times I tried Cinnamon it wouldn't do that. I like using the bottom one mostly for window list and the side one for launchers.
Unless I completely misunderstood you - this has been working for quite a while.
It might be a while since I last tried it. Mate's been pretty comfy.

A Webbing Journey is an upcoming wholesome 3D puzzle platformer

And if you surprise your spider date effectively enough with beautiful flowers, maybe your spider date won't surprise you by eating you!

Seriously though, I think the webbing element could add a lot here, making it potentially quite a bit more interesting than the average game in this genre.

Epic Games now supporting the O3D Foundation and Open 3D Engine

Quoting: SolarwingI'm going slightly mad because of these news.:happy:So I must buy a bottle of strong alcohol(one litre ofc) and take part in boozer's running race where you must drink the whole bottle down in one go!:happy:And then you start running downhill! The best part in this race is that you don't know where you wake up in the next morning! For example, you can wake up in hangover in your best friend's bed and and the best part is that there's only your best friend's wife right beside you!:smile:A really cool ending! Or you can find yourself sleeping right on the local anthill in the next morning! A less cooler ending! But again jokes aside. I still don't trust Epic at all. But somehow this is a cool thing to happen when you think there's a rivalry between unreal engine and Open3d. Interesting.:smile:
i suggest you drink WINE...
A barrel of WINE should do it. I would love to wake up in the hospital after alcoholic poisoning but friend said it's not worth it. And I believe him:smile:! But this is a off topic thing so no more talk about alcohol. Otherwise master(Liam) will get me banned for good. And I don't want it - yet. :smile: But what comes to these news about open 3d engine I think that Godot is more trustworthy and for some reason, I would prefer to use it than open 3d if I were a programmer.
Well, I instinctively think that using Open 3D Engine would just make you Cry.

Sounds pretty good!
Um,
Mint now uses IPP (Driverless Printing and Scanning)
Anyone know what the implications of that are? Is it good news? Bad?
