I think the reload update makes a ton of sense, and will add to the game's intended design. I've always found it funny how the people who complain about the direction CS has moved toward over the years seem to fundamentally misunderstand what CS is. CS is not Call of Duty. CS is chess with guns. Everything in this game is carefully considered to reward whoever has the highest skill, and best strategy. If you want a brain-off battle royale, this isn't your game-and that's totally okay.

Starfield is the game that taught me Bethesda is dead. I don't think I'll be exploring any of their games again.

Oh great. Now all your games will look like the AI generated "art" invading our social media feeds. This fucking sucks.

Quoting: Serious_TableSo they're going to start suing every other company that used Loot boxes, right? EVERY other company that used Loot boxes, RIGHT? Or is this selective bullshit

Corporations are risk averse. This is how the game is played. You go after the biggest offender to make an example of them. Then everyone else falls in line. Not saying it's how it should be resolved, but that's the way things usually happen in the US. Ideally, we would have a congress that actually passes laws in service of the people instead of corpos. Sadly, that isn't the case, so this is what we get instead.

Sounds like good news. Xfce is one of the most relevant DE's out there in my opinion. We need a solid option for lightweight hardware. Seeing this DE fall away because they can't run Wayland sessions well would suck.

Interesting news! I'm looking forward to seeing what the new build of the game has over the current. If I remember correctly the switch port includes some features the current PC port lacks like analog movement, and turbo speed. Hopefully we get those sorts of features in the new release. I'm also wondering about the save file differences. I hope someone takes a look into the possibility of editing an old save to work in the new game.

Very good to see these enter the preservation program. I would like to see the XIII trilogy added as well since those are currently sort of difficult to run without user patches. My understanding is the GOG preservation program includes work on GOG's part to modify the games to run well on modern systems.

I see both sides of this argument. I get that kernel access anti-cheat is a serious "trust me, bro" situation. I also play both Counter-Strike 2, and Valorant regularly. One of those games is flooded with cheaters, and the other has basically none. In competitive online games you can't have cheaters. It fundamentally breaks the game experience.

Valve understands both parts of this. I hope their intelligent minds are at work engineering a solution for this technical problem in Linux. I would love to be able to delete my Windows 11 partition for good. Val is the only reason I have to keep it.
