I humbly second that suggestion on YT that you should have some sort of text/image showing the current subject, just for us to keep track of what you're currently talking about.
Yup, I agree for those watching the video rather than just listening. Already have some ideas on this, to keep it simple while giving people something to see.

This is absolutely something I will do for the next one.
The podcast is a really cool idea! I liked it very much! As for the video, why not show yourself to your audience? Or maybe some kind of split screen with a video of you describing the stuff and having some info regarding the current topic displayed along with it? Would also add some personal flavor.
You might laugh, but I'm ridiculously shy and my camera setup is pretty terrible + terrible lighting in my office. The fact that I'm on camera of Destination Linux (like this recent episode [External Link] skip to around 1:16:00) is a miracle :P

Quoting you so you get a notification :D I'm the one who posted about NBlood on Reddit [External Link] (assuming that's where you got the info for this article, which it sounds like it is)
No, I got my info from the Voidpoint tweet noted in the article. We also had it emailed in by Faalhaas, but it was left in my long TODO list.

I've also heard about their other project, might take a look another time

Wow, not that bad on Intel but yeah seems they have plenty more work ahead to get Mesa supported.

Quoting: CybolicCould you add a mention to the first paragraph that Voidpoint are the developers of Ion Maiden? Without that info, the paragraph is a bit obtuse.
Good point, done.

If you need a copy of Blood to use with it, you can find it on GOG.
Or Steam.... https://store.steampowered.com/app/299030/Blood_One_Unit_Whole_Blood/ [External Link]
I swear every time this happens they just don't show up when I search...

A reminder about Steam's platform-specific wishlist feature you should be using
22 Feb 2019 at 1:29 pm UTC

Quoting: NinexThe description I've seen of this feature before, and even in this article, don't seem to match up to the actual description on Steam to me. It sounded like a way to let developers know you wanted were wishlisting a game to play on Linux, but the actual description just looks like it simply hides games for other platforms from you as you browse. Is this for your benefit only, or can developers see that you have this option ticked?
Developers see Linux wishlists, that is the point made in the article.

Edit: Made a minor text adjustment to make that much clearer.

Thanks to a gift, I can confirm it is indeed missing the Steam API file. I've emailed the developer and pointed them to the Steam topic.

Quoting: Guest....aaaaaand I think I know what I'll be playing around with tonight. Good to see an update, and I'm incredibly curious about how well Unreal Engine with Vulkan will work on my Kaveri.
(I don't keep games installed if I'm not playing them, so I don't really see notifications about game updates unless they're posted here.)
And that's why I've got so much of my library installed, to keep everyone up to date :P
Your hard drive/s must be a monster.
I have four, all of them almost full...
