Does this email actually go somewhere? The puns keep getting better.
I will never tell.

Downhill extreme sports game 'Descenders' leaves Early Access with multiplayer
10 May 2019 at 10:30 am UTC

Quoting: jbatsonEarly access game play was awesome. The update is nice as well with a few complaints. The playground that you start in the bike speeds need to increase, they are just to slow to do any real tricks like double backflips and 720's or using the half pipe. The other complaint is when you are riding slow and you turn the view turns really sloooowwww. This should change at the rate that the rider is turning. It seems really slow and its hard to judge how far you have actually turned. Overall I love the game, it's just fun. That's why I bought it as alot of the games I play are shooters and really intense.

Oh the new Career plus courses are really nice too. Overall an A rated game for me.
You know, I actually agree with you on those points and should have noted them in the article really. Turn speed and bike speed in the casual lobby area are an issue indeed.

Quoting: DrMcCoyCan we please stop with this "x joined y" euphemism? Why are we repeating PR speech? State it plain and simple: they've been bought.
Yes, so they've joined them. It's still correct, quit the moaning.

Quoting: fukoff21centuryThey have to fix the controls. Basic keyboard menu navigation should not be unheard of.
Then let them know on their itch page?

You can now play Minecraft Classic in your browser, as Minecraft is about to turn 10

Quoting: MarcselloYou mean we can play it again. Mincraft classic was aviliable for free for in your browser for a long time. It was taken down when Microsoft redesigned their webpage.
I've remember playing it back then (and I think I have a video of it somewhere).
As I understand it, the original Classic was Java-based and newer browsers wouldn't even run it due to security concerns. This version has been partly remade.

CS:GO Danger Zone gains new deployment perks in the latest update, damn it's fun

I actually had a game before that recording, where I was hiding in some grass just across a bit of water where I spotted two people by a crate grabbing their drops. I kept shooting at them, then it looked like they ran up over a hill to behind a wall. I crept over but it was a trap, only one ran to get my attention, the other was waiting. After, we all exchanged a nice "GG" and laughed about it, the community can sometimes surprise you with how friendly they are.

Another progress report for the PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 shows solid progress

Quoting: F.Ultra
The issue was due to "frequent file cache buffers flushing by the game", which Linux handled a lot better. They have a fix in place now but I just thought it was interesting, that having RPCS3 on Linux helped them track down a Windows performance issue.
This is what we cross developer devs keep telling the Windows only devs, that porting your software to other platforms can help you find and fix bugs that also affect the Windows version by exposing your code to a completely different architecture and compiler.
And it's a very good point. Some argue they don't have the time for it, I argue the opposite - what about all that time possibly wasted that a Linux version might help you track down, as was the exact case here.
