Never could get along with the kde desktop's breakability.
They still get their share in my yearly round of open source donations, though. Kde's software fits really gracefully in my xfce setups. Kupfer, kwrite, kolourpaint, okular, falkon, kdeconnect, ...

Liking the extra level geometry. Note that the textures shown are from the already existing high-res texture mod.
Curious as to what is planned with the audio. Oldunreal never quite managed to reach the level of the original's a3d implementation.

This'll go well, I'm sure.

It's in the game.
Apart from that, the leveraged buyout means that ea has to sustain themselves and generate profits while managing a $20 billion debt.

That prince who ordered the literal butchering of a journalist alive in an embassy of Saudi Arabia. Get your popcorns, PR statements will be interesting.The parody simulator by Electronic Artists practically writes itself here.
It's in the game.
While I'm no fan of any of the involved parties - politics aside, this will probably be good for the games.Already smelling that whiff of "ai" in the press releases, so I wouldn't bet on it. From the profit-fetishists' viewpoint, the biggest benefit of modern "ai" lies in optimizing the implementations of predatory business models.

Deus Ex Remastered announced and arrives in February 2026

In this case I do get some of the complaints that poetically describe some elements as looking like doom 3 rather than something that was originally powered by the first unreal engine.

I mean....it looks fine to me. Then again, I am not a graphics whore, never was.Remasters always have a tightrope to walk on where they want to improve the technical graphics quality, but need to preserve the original's aesthetics.

I imagine this offering will be fairly annoying for the people who just wanted a plain pi500 with m.2 slot. That's double the price, with as an extra sprinkling of frustration the obvious fact that the slot could have been included in the first place.

... I have to admit that I still primarily use Firefox on my daily driver laptop. It has all the plugins I prefer installed and it's curated by Linux Mint.Mint does not curate firefox. In fact, since 2022 the version included with mint is managed directly by mozilla.
ChimeraOS dev announced Kazeta, a new Linux OS aimed at recreating a classic console experience

For collections on a single sdcard one could create menus similar to the blast16 and sneses for the pi, or what the evercade is doing with their cartridges.
Methinks one could also use Kazeta for other software, so you get a multiple-single-purposes machine. Want some distractionless typing? Chuck in wordgrinder. Drawing? Krita, media center? Kodi, and so on.

Surprised not to see (yet) some "I was interested but Denuvo" posts.The denuvo tanked any interest before there was any chance for me to know whether or not I would have had it.
