@Soulsource - And yet, most Windows users I have talked to recently fail to see any issues with ads showing up in their application launcher, or in their notifications. Or stuff randomly breaking. Or...

At this point I have given up on trying to convince people to switch. They obviously enjoy sitting on a cactus.

Odd, that's not been my experience at all. I've run into lots and lots of people who complain about the ads all the time and want an alternative. Several people I know would switch in a heartbeat if Linux can get it together on the gaming front and work flawlessly in that department.

I don't like this at all and it seems obvious that this is a way for Google to not lose complete control of Chrome. I hope regulators continue to push to force google out of having anything to do with Chromium and chrome permanently. Also, all the other members are corporations that are invested in advertising and will still push hard to collect our data and force ads. The fact that they will continue to be so heavily involved means more of the same and more anti-adblocking crap. I don't see how this benefits open source if the freedom to use the browser the way we see fit is continued to be taken away.

Usage of proprietary middleware

This is usually the reason.

Only id under John Carmack went to the trouble to remove the middleware to be able to release the source code, as far as I can remember.

So when is Nvidia going to finally be investigated for anti-trust violations? Their market dominance is ridiculous.

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 My new build that I won't even receive for another 2 or so weeks is now out of date already.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.

I CANNOT WAIT for this ai bubble to burst

Same. For the sake of the planet if for nothing else. Though I shudder to fear what the next thing they'd come up with is, in addition to more massive layoffs when the bubble bursts.

I never got into Stardew Valley. I much prefer the Story of Seasons and Rune Factory games to this.

So I guess they will be making all of the games PS exclusives now... Too bad this isn't taking place in the US, it would have likely gotten an anti-trust investigation.

Late stage capitalism strikes again. If we survive not too much longer enough as a species then we will inevitably end up with like 2 or 3 mega corporations who own everything.

Happy new years don't exist anymore, IMO. Nothing good to look forward to in the next year, at least where I live in the US. Just another new level of utter hellscape starting next month. It's going to be awful.

The holidays are extremely stressful to me. Probably the only good thing about January is that they will be over.

Quoting: kuhpunktI don't know. Turok is such a weird franchise. Why did it ever get "big"?

It was one of the first FPS I can remember on the N64... but eh.

It didn't get big. The game's were considered "cult classics". I don't think this will sell well overall.

Nobody asked for this, and making everything 3rd person is really getting boring. They should have just left this franchise alone. I will be very surprised if this isn't mediocre
