Excellent. That one has been on my GOG wishlist for quite a while now.

Epic Games looking to make Vulkan the default API for Linux games in Unreal Engine

Quoting: EhvisThey still released Fortnite last week with only Win+Mac support. Do they have Metal support for that or is the OpenGL support actually good enough?

ARK devs already said that OpenGL won't be fixed and that they will switch to Vulkan for that. In ARK time of course.
That would be for Metal API, I don't know if there is an option to run openGL but I doubt it as they were building for Metal for more than a year.

Here is a chance for Fullbright to redeem themselves if they can provide a strong narrative-only game that doesn't preach social justice-y trash.

Quoting: liamdaweTo be clear, Aspyr has not left Linux at all. I don't get why people say that, they did only recently put out Civ VI (a pretty major title). They are also publishing games coming to Linux.
Because Feral are, by comparison, running circles around them. They raised the expectation for release rate and now even VP appear to have "left linux".

Quoting: elmapulwhat emulator do you use for n64? mupen stoped evolving (except for android mupen) and there are a lot of games unplayable on it.

project64 dont have an native version (and emulating an emulator is not an ideal solution.
Performance is fine, but yes, there are rendering inaccuracies. I'm keeping my hopes up for cen64 cycle-accurate emulator.
