Village builder Odd Realm is now available DRM-free on GOG
3 Dec 2020 at 5:59 pm UTC

Quoting: NezchanThe headline is a bit oddly (heh) worded, suggesting it wasn't available DRM-free before it came to GOG, even though it was already DRM-free on Itch for a while now. And well, depending on your definition of DRM in Steam's case.

Wasn't suggesting anything, was just pointing it out.

You've never heard of ghost cars? It's a really common feature in racers, it's where you see a see-through "ghost" car that you can pass through that performs your best lap. It's like racing yourself, pretty much.

Since the game is getting more popular, special safe zones especially for logins and new users are going to be a must for sure.

Jedi: Fallen Order arrives on Stadia, six new free games for Stadia Pro for December

Quoting: 3zekielOn that point, do you think we should push flatpak'd steam ? I mean use it ourselves + make all people we know use it/ make noise etc ? Because that would technically be one perform (minus the kernel). Even more pushed than Steam runtime.

Since Valve don't support it directly, no. It's better to get developers to test using the Steam Runtime Container.

Quoting: tonRKinda stupid question about VRR (Variable refresh rate). Is it refer to
- monitor setting/system used?, or
- game setting?, or
- GPU setting?
For gaming.
I've never seen a Variable Refresh Rate setting in a game, is that a new thing?

Well, it's a feature on monitors that you would enable on your system but the point of the question is if people use it overall.
