They just sent me Stadia Premiere for free. I enjoyed playing the Immortals Fenyx Rising demo.

According to a Stadia developer, streamers should be paying publishers and it backfired

The DMCA is a gross abuse of copyright. It always has been, and that includes the music industry's greedy exploitation of it. Copyright was never meant to be used this way. I say this as a librarian who remembers all the harm it did when it was first passed.

I have no real desire to use it, but I am curious if HBO Max works in it since it no longer works in Chrome or Firefox.

These cards were all gone in a few minutes. Also, they're going on sale on eBay, which means at least some of the people who bought them were just scalpers.

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition gets more graphical upgrades

How's the player base nowadays? Is it based on e3.5 or e5? Is the game, and community, welcoming for a new inexperienced player? How easy is to implement mods and player content in Linux?
Can't really comment on the current community, as I generally don't play multiplayer except with people I personally know (not just for NWN, but in general). But it uses 3.5 edition. Even 4th edition wasn't around when Neverwinter Nights was released.
Back when I played the original, I never even knew there was multiplayer, mostly because I wouldn't have been interested in it anyway.

I've been using Nvidia GPUs for over a decade, but I'm strongly considering a switch after this new release. Hopefully, they'll be powerful and well-supported.

NVIDIA 450.57 is out for Linux with DLSS and NGX, Image Sharpening plus more

Quoting: TheRiddickHave you even tried DLSS 2.0? (and 3.0 down the pipe will be better)

Your comments strongly suggest you've only ever read about it
If you increase resolution, reconstructed image can only be an approximation, no matter how much machine learning you'll throw at it. That's just how it works by definition.
What you're saying might actually matter if we were talking about images of real things. These are computer-generated images in the first place. Using an A.I. to "approximate" them is meaningless to your eyes. If it looks right and runs faster on your machine, why would it matter?

Streets of Rage 4 to be playable on Linux at release with Steam Play Proton

In a weird twist, this game works on Proton but crashes on Xbox Game Pass in Windows 10. :D

It appears that Valve are preparing Half-Life: Alyx for Linux

I saw a pretty good video demonstrating this game being played on a variety of VR sets for those who can't afford Valve's fancy one. Of course, you'd miss some of the control features, but it's still playable.
