I see ChromeOS as a good way to trick people too scared of Linux to use it. Since it didn't have Linux on its name nor it is easily found in its literature, people actually try it because of the weight of the Google and Chrome names.

Yesterday a youtuber from a tech channel I follow, said he will never use Linux on his PCs because "I like to do work on my computer, not work on my computer". The poor bastard, while being a tech nerd, completely missed that he actually do a ton of his work on a Linux machine...

I don't know about other countries laws, but that behavior is considered crime here in Brazil, and can let you quite acquainted with our terrible prison system. Since Valve certainly knows were those "people" are from, they should let local authorities take a look at the case.

It is sad that some of technical advancements in Goldeneye aren't found in today's AAA shooters. Take for example the hitboxes. In GoldenEye, if you hit someone's head, shoulders, crouch, ass, hands, foot, torso, there will be a different reaction of the character. Most modern games only differentiate the read from the rest. You could even knock out hats and (if I'm not mistaken) guns from the enemies.

Another thing is AI behavior. We should had awesome AI by now, because every single CPU out there has more than one core to make it happen, but no. After F.E.A.R, things got downhill, for no good reason. Today's AI is dumber than it once was.

You know what would be awesome? Porting this to the mini NES Classic.

Quoting: GuestJust got the update on Arch Linux. As a long time Plasma Wayland user this is one of the most important releases for me as finally the subsurface clipping and the Firefox Wayland copy & paste issues have been fixed :-)

Plus there are many nice new features!

AFAIK, that is for Plasma 5.20 and will not be backported, since the patches to correct this are numerous.

And just to not discourage you of buying it, there is a easy mode, so finishing it is not that big of a deal. BUT, the true finish is only on the hard mode, so...

I have this game and it makes Battletoads of the NES a child's game in comparison (difficulty wise).

A world of advice, tough, is that the pacing of the game is tied to your screen refresh rate. If you play it in anything above 60Hz the game will become very fast and almost unplayable.

So if you are not a rage quitter and like a challenge, is definitely a must on any Linux gamer library.

Well, I have over 200 games on my library and never played most of them, so maybe this reminds me to try some stuff I bought and had forgotten.

Fine by me. I see no reason to support more than 2 generations of CPUs on the same motherboard. Look at how troublesome Ryzen 3000 support was at launch, with a scramble to update BIOSes on old boards that ended loosing support for older processors.

I want to buy a motherboard without too much research to know if what I'm buying have the necessary update for the CPU I chose.

Quoting: M@GOidThe price of this game is very high here in Brazil. How much it is in the US?

Currently $22.49 on Steam with a 10% discount, but there's no price listed on Humble yet. Google says that equates to 122.34 in Brazilian real. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know that's what your currency is called.

No need to be ashamed. I for one have no idea what is the currency of the majority of Brazil's neighbors...

Brazil is one of those countries where Valve do a price reduction relatively to the US Dollar conversion, because selling games at full price would drive people to piracy.

I asked because I thought the price was higher than what this type of game generally cost around here. It didn't help that our currency dropped in value more than 30% since the world pandemic started.
