Open Gaming Collective (OGC) formed to push Linux gaming even further

I feel like this should be a broader thing than gaming, especially with some of the... interesting decisions some of these projects have made over the years to "improve" gaming.
This channels into the "Ooh there are too many distros" conversation. We need a much larger push for interoperability of dependencies than just a handful of "gaming" distros pushing tweaks they like upstream.

Terraria 1.4.5 the absolutely huge Bigger and Boulder update is now live

I keep trying this game. I've always figured it's one of those games where part of the enjoyment is figuring out how it all works, like old Amiga games that didn't come with a manual. It's been... *checks notes* 12 years and I still don't know how to do more than dig a hole. And yes, I refuse to check Youtube.

I wish they didn't make DX12 the default on Windows, that's exactly what developers are going to use and target for performance. 😫

restructuring at Abu Dhabi, RedLynx and Massive
Massive Entertainment are your only fully functional studio at this point, so sure. ⏰

Quoting: PaldinoXAh yes, the perfect business strategy, keep doing the same exact thing we've been doing for the past 15 years and hope it digs us out of the hole we've gotten ourselves into!
I think there was a game that made this point a while ago. Can't quite remember what it... Vaas.

It's worth noting that Endeavour was first released during the period where Arch didn't have an install script (archinstall), so it made more sense back then than it does now.

Nexus Mods retire their in-development cross-platform app to focus back on Vortex

Quoting: eldarionI don't know about the cross platform app, but Vortex is a buggy and overcomplicated mess. I miss the days of Nexus Mod Manager...
It's funny the NexusMods is best known for Skyrim modding, because this really reeks of Bethesda being adamant that the Creation Engine totally isn't just a Gamebryo rebrand and is totes the best at modern game development actually.

I'd really love to see a git-based or other repository-style mod site. One of the biggest issues in modding is the modder gets bored and their mods eventually break because they don't keep up with dependencies or game updates, but no-one can do anything about it because the mods would need to be disassembled, assuming that's possible, or it's not clear whether anyone else would have permission to fork it.

It took about 3 months for Valve to rebase to Wine 10 (then another 7 months to release the stable version).

Preset L for 4K, Preset M for everything else unless you're on a 20-30 series in which case the performance hit isn't worth it.
