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.

I think they initially started developing Asylum with their own Dagon engine (Scratches engine?...not sure), then had a small affair with Unity before finally switching to Unreal. This might explain at least partially why it took so long.

Well, that input lag from the Post is ridiculously bad, there must be something going on there. Bad connection, bad setup, bad luck, bad...something.
I mean, Stadia can't be worse than other streaming services that are working fairly well (can't it?)
Take GeForce Now for example, I have a beta tester key (or whatever is called) and I must say the experience is pretty good. Sucks that isn't available for Linux, but it does work. Definitely it won't satisfy everyone though, that's for sure.
For casuals like me, OTOH, is just fine.

Here's a small video recording showing what to expect from Geforce Now (and I expect at least that level of performance from Stadia).
Keep an eye on the bottom left corners where there's an input indicator, so you can approximate the lag involved.

Oh, the stream quality is also excellent, whatever artifacts you see are Youtube's doing.
