They went with AppImage for Linux so it should run across most major distributions.

I wished more devs wold opt for this for their software. Some things shouldn't need you to plug a new repository, compile code or anything that requires a admin password. Just run it from the Download folder without much fuss.

I can hear the security minded folks furiously typing right now, but remember, I said "some things", not all apps.

I hope they keep their word. The gaming market need more trustable studios.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: M@GOidI had problems with Firefox on Youtube, where the page would simply stall and need a refresh to work again. Turned out it was the ad-blocker I was using, µBlock Origin. I changed for another and the problem got away. Maybe this Twitch problem with Firefox may be related to a add-on people are using.

The combination works fine for me.

It did for me for many years. But months ago, mainly YouTube, but also a couple other pages started to act funny. They started to load then stop, or dynamic content like comment sessions wouldn't load. Since I use about 5 extensions, took me a while testing thoroughly until I could point my finger with confidence.

It still works fine with Chromium, but since FF is my daily driver, I had to change.

I have high hopes for this one. IMHO, the use of the "Jaguar" cores on the XBONE and PS4, caused a serious hit on the physics and AI of AAA games in the past decade.

Now with "Zen 2" cores available, there is no excuse for big studios to not implement copious amounts of great physics and AI on the next gen consoles' games.

Oh man, I wished they released another Rive game so bad. Loved that game, the main character is hilarious, and the references they included in the game were great.

At the time they said it would be their last game, since they were disbanding. I only hope they can continue, because there is a lot of half backed indie games out there, and Rive had excellent production value. It was a finished game from the start, not a eternal "early access" like so many other ones full of promises.

A demo will only hurt the sales of a bad game. Also, developers can engineer the demo to better hook a potential buyer. Most demos are only the first stage and don't let the player see the big picture. Devs can do better than that.

Quoting: CatKillerI wouldn't be surprised if Valve have hit up Anker to provide the power cables.

Which would be a good thing. The ones I bought from them, were the only ones to survive under my mother and sister usage.

Quoting: NitsugaThis damn game has been crashing for months now, it all started with the ironic "Broken Fang" update.
L4D2 native crashes a lot as well. It truly feels like a joke.

I was about to say it. This is not the first time this happens with CS:GO on Linux.

Also L4D2 on Linux is more crashy than before, and is not only on Linux. My friends on Windows occasionally crash too, but less often than me.

All of these improvements only occur because of the funding from the DLC they release. This is one of a few games I pay for DLCs with gusto, since not only I receive new content that wasn't available at launch, but the core game continues to receive meaningful improvements on a regular basis.
