Rainbow Six Siege launching on Stadia, along with a big Ubisoft+ expansion

Quoting: hardpenguinProbably no crossplay for R6 Siege though? At least not with PC eh?
Wouldn't say it's out of the question, since their port of The Division 2 is fully cross platform between Stadia and Windows.

Quoting: aukkras
What do you think to these changes?
They don't matter when CS:GO doesn't run due to this bug: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2659 [External Link]
Sad to hear that.

Runs fine here with this launch option:
gamemoderun %command% -nojoy -novid
(Disabled gamepads as they make it crash, remove videos and gamemode for speeeeeed)

Takes forever to load though, always has on Linux.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI do wonder what "unknown" platform is or how one would achieve that.
I would guess a key reseller store that didn't track it correctly or at all.

Quoting: ElectricPrismImagine we could do for GIMP what has been done for Blender, what an amazing thing that would be.
Will never happen while it's called GIMP.

OBS Studio 27.0 out with service integration, browser dock support and Wayland on Linux
2 Jun 2021 at 6:46 pm UTC

Quoting: dodgepongThe PPA has no code changes compared to what is in the repository. The credentials are passed in to CMake at compile-time as variables. Service integrations for "unofficial" builds are possible, but requires those maintainers to create their own Twitch API credentials and OAuth backend.
Thanks for the explanation, really interesting to see how it's being done :)

1 Jun 2021 at 2:48 pm UTC

Update:
Quoting: EntrowareThe chassis that we use for the Poseidon is the Fractal Design FD-CA-DEF-C-BK. With regards to the PSU, as this will vary between different Corsair, EVGA, and Cooler Master units depending on what we stock at that time, we do not provide specific models.

Quoting: frcatonIs the DLSS/proton news on the video keynote? I can't seem to find it.
No it was shared in the private press release email.

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries runs great on Linux with Proton now it's on Steam

Quoting: EzequielI'm a bit confused, there are tons of great games that run with Proton. Why does this windows game get an article?
  • It's a new Steam release.

  • Wasn't ridiculously expensive.

  • I like big mechs.

  • I cover what I want to cover.

And the list goes on.

Bitmapflow helps artists generate inbetweens for animated sprites

Quoting: tuubiAs the developer says on the video, you'd use this to produce the frames and then tweak them to perfection in your preferred animation tool. It sure seems like it could save you a bunch of time. Though I'd assume it would be even handier if this was integrated into an open source pixel animation tool.
Yeah exactly, taking it literally as it outputs might look odd, the idea is to help save time. Even though the automatic bit does still look pretty good!

Quoting: DrMcCoy...this looks terrible :(
Depends on your perspective, personally I thought it looked pretty darn good for an automatic thing. It all depends how much of a perfectionist you're going to be on it. While in-game, many probably won't even notice some of the smaller issues it has, especially considering you're going to be seeing them against world backgrounds and often at a much faster pace than the examples.
