Quoting: EikeSystem Shock is, like Half-Life 1 & 2, an important game I've missed back then. I still wonder if I should visit them in their enhanced versions. I'm somewhat allergic to outdated 3D graphics.

I'm entertaining this idea myself, currently I have installed Retroarch and looking through my older games that I enjoyed or never finished.
I must say, is better than expected. All these new available enhancements like higher res, shaders save-states and whatnot combined with the ability to tweak the controls to modern standards, are really, well...game changers.
And after a game or two, your tolerance to old graphics is increased, so yeah, you might enjoy even System Shock, old style.

Is interesting how in this retro-feel frenzy they added even perspective distortions, PlayStation 1 style.
Emulator devs are striving to compensate or remove those, and these guys added them deliberately :)

Good, good. Lower prices for Nvidia cards, or better AMD cards, I'll take that with both hands.

Quoting: peta77So, they're still having separate releases for the new Vulkan and standard stuff? So you have to decide which fixes you want to have/are more important to you? For how long is this now? .... way too long...
Anyway, I don't care; at the moment the openSUSE repository is broken/unsafe (problems with signature/gnuPG-key), so updating whichever branch is actually not a good idea right now..

Since they are beta features I find normally to be in separated releases. You wouldn't want beta/untested/ potentially harmful features pushed to the stable releases, would you?

Quoting: EikeMy new GTX 1660 "Super" is on its way, along with a Ryzen and all stuff around. <3

Enjoy!
That feeling when you unpack new hardware, put it to work and see your games running so much better :)

Quoting: BeamboomA lot of disappointing news in the Linux gaming world this year :(

True, but the rapid pace of development of Proton/DXVK/D9VK and Valve still cooking Linux goodies are keeping me warm and cozy.

Yep, got my last one delivered today. The other one, yesterday. Wonder why they were delivered one day apart (ordered at the same time).

It does look a bit cheap. Looks like a crappy router or something, not a console.

I really hope this means they're going for the for the second iteration of the Steam Controller (the one with 4 paddles underneath).
In any case, I bought two more as a back up. Mine has more than 3000 hours only in Rust, so is starting to show its usage.
