22 Jun 2022 at 4:27 pm UTC

Quoting: Blender-samaCan someone explain the different FF7 Remake Versions? I didn't follow it closely and I think I read that there will be multiple parts.
Sure:

* Money

That's pretty much it really.

FF7 Remake is an expanded Midgar arc. Intergrade is new content introducing Yuffie earlier than expected. Crisis Core idfk.

This explains why I'm seeing the AMD Cézanne pstate patches going into S76's kernel all of a sudden lol

I still loathe meta for everything they do to screw over everyone else, but good on Godot for getting that sweet sweet funding.

Get a look inside the Steam Deck in Valve's latest video

Quoting: GuestI got a weird vibe from the video. Everything about it screams "open it up" but the idea it tries so hard to convey (and fails in my opinion) is "don’t."
The short of it is, from a legal and logistical standpoint for VALVe, it makes sense for them to want users to not play with the insides of the product, so that they're less on the hook for anything that hits the fan. So, essentially the "don't" part is them putting enough legalese in the video that they basically are shouting "Get off our backs, if you do this you're on your own". But it's also them saying "don't do this, REALLY don't do this, but if you REALLY still want to do this, here's how to do it minimizing risk. Still don't do this. Did we mention don't do this".

My dumb arse had https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xrdesktop/kwin-effect-xrdesktop [External Link] installed but the kwin plugin list had it filtered out.

Word of warning: CHECK YOUR FILTERS IN THE KDE CONFIG.

Quoting: legluondunetRaised very young in fighting games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Soulcalibur, Tekken, I find it hard to get interested in this one.
Why? Because it has ungulates instead of bipeds?

Skullgirls: Annie goes up in Beta along with the Season Pass and a Linux support update
6 Mar 2021 at 4:29 pm UTC

Quoting: RafiLinuxLoved the game but Season pass stuff is rubbing everyone I know into this game the wrong way. I'm tapping out on it but I had a great time playing it over the years. Looks like I gonna have to stick to Fightcade, RetroArch and the DRMFREE version of Skullgirls for my fighting game kick.
How else would you suggest they create the extra content? All the new frames, the new voice actor work, testing, hitbox setup, game balance testing, all of this good stuff takes time and people working on it.
