Windows went 64bit, but there was work on the Steam Linux Runtime for 64bit. We'll see it one day...

Quoting: NumerfoltAnd of course, there's no alt text anywhere to be found. But it's probably never been aimed at vision impaired people anyway?

I added alt text to the image when the article was originally published, it is there.

Edit: or do you mean specifically in the article (I've additionally added that now)? As the image alt text was always there.

I know price rises suck, but look outside the box for a moment. The problem is really a question of viability.

Sure, they have a certain level of purchase mass due to the amount of users, but you split that across each individual game and then Humble as a business need their own cut to remain a viable business too. Add taxes into that and it gets reduced even further. Even the current £11.49 really is not a lot when split across 8 games.

Quoting: KimyrielleTo be fair, 32GB RAM have been sort of standard for gaming PCs for a while now. Also, these decisions were very likely made before the RAM prices went out of control, which started only a few months ago.

Not as long as you might think, and you don't design games for the top-end. You go by averages. Part of the point of PC gaming is having settings to bring things down to more acceptable levels is it not? Going by the Steam survey, over 50% have 16GB or less RAM. It's absolutely mad to make 1080p at 60FPS need a minimum of 32GB lol, locking away over half your potential sales for what people expect from a game.

Quoting: CarollyHonest question for you, why is it that year after year you stick your nose up in the air over great distros like Nobara, CachyOS, and PikaOS, in favour of large corporate-backed projects? Any of them are excellent distros for gaming and more than just "a few tweaks and a new theme" (and generally they make it very easy to install Nvidia drivers - Nobara and Pika even offer ISOs with the Nvidia drivers preloaded!)

I'm curious if you've tried running any of the three in recent years. You might actually enjoy using them if you gave them a shot.

Because there is usually little point in them outside of niche use cases for people far beyond power users that care about random library optimisations. Most of them do tweaks that 99% of people just don't need. I've also been burned in the past by these fringe distros having all sorts of issues, or just vanishing on you. It's better for normies to stick to the bigger lot, because they're tried and tested with good support overall.

Quoting: chickenb00I've been idly thinking of buying a used Lenovo Legion Go as well as I really admire the removable joycons. I would also load Bazzite onto it. What's your impression Liam? I'd like to hear about it, but it might also make a compelling YouTube video!

An article will be up this week on it.

Quoting: vic-bayi can't agree with arc raiders victory in the innovations category, because there were zero innovations in the game. to be honest i doubt there can be significant innovations in video games in general. in the last 30-40 years almost every possible idea has been already tried. not every possible combination of ideas, but combining existing ideas is not innovation. everything else looks okay, at least people voted for it.

But there is. The innovation is the NPC AI. They adapt and learn how to get to you. They adapt if they have broken propellers etc. Now i'm sure there have been games trying to do that before, but in a multiplayer setting i think it’s the first in this area.

Not just that but there really is absolutely no other game that combines everything like ARC Raiders does for PvPvE.
