Quoting: swickPretty sure it doesn't compliments you, or anything you said. Even saying it complemented your article would be a gross overestimation of what your article provides.
Bro you're complaining on a site which regularly posts articles which consist of a large image and 2-5 sentences. Nobody expects to get a degree in visual computing by reading GOL.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumMaybe now we will find out just how well Vulkan can really perform on wait hang on what OS? oh yeah. GNU/Linux! :woot:
Hold up, it's still going to be just a port. We will only truly know once a game has been built from the ground up for Vulkan.

ARK does have a whole selection wheel of emotes, in fact. I guess nobody uses them?

Does anybody else have issues with Rocket League crashing + crashes permanently muting the game for all eternity? Maybe I should finally kill off my use of fglrx at this point?

This reminds me of attempts at a "3D web". Being a game, primarily, might save Meadow from the shortcomings of that 90s era pipe dream.

I can second that OBS is an incredible solution. When I first embraced Linux, I tried Simple Screen Recorder but it had issues with audio desyncing from video.

AnxiousInfusion's nifty guide to decipher Linux port news:

"$GAME will release day-one for Linux!" == $Game will release months after everyone moves on to the next big thing.

"$GAME will release for Linux!" == $GAME has non-trivial chance of being canceled... and we won't tell you anything if it is hahaha!

"Linux port of $GAME will be released in X months!" == X = number_of_times_this_announcement_was_made * 2

"We are currently assessing the viability of a Linux port!" == We're going back through the code and realizing how much vendor lock-in we got suckered into.

"$GAME is in early access for Windows and will release with Linux support!" == We are staying in early access FOREVER.

"$KICKSTARTER_GAME also plans for a Linux release!" == But it's just a stretch goal and we're only as serious about the port as you are about your love life.
