Quoting: SchattenspiegelWhy again should anybody use this if there is no exclusive stuff in there? And if there was exclusive staff in there to lure me into installing it why again should I change my routine of blacklisting companies that try to do that?
Sincerely hope they keep it completely optional since I like some of their games quite a lot.
I'm really, really unsure of how to process this message, especially on the GamingOnLinux site.

Those are certainly some weird issues with VSync and mouse movement.

I never watched the show but my friends praised it.
Think this might be a skip for me.
What in the watch did I just fuck :sick:
Part of their episode where Rick hooks up some interdimensional cable, I assume? The rest isn't quite as eyehole-y

Sounds like an attempt to drum up some sales.

Huh. I think it's time for me to figure out where my wallet's gone...

Quoting: scaineThe full loot on PvP is devastating. I lost everything in the game when I was trying to race through a red zone to get to another yellow/blue zone when I was ambushed during some gathering en route. You live and learn, I suppose, but losing all my loot set me back, literally, days, in terms of how much it cost me to make.

That's a game decision, and good on them for sticking to it, but I'm there for the gathering and PvE, so I'll play this right up to the point I lose everything again, then I'll be out of the game forever, I suspect.

It wouldn't be a problem if you had some routes that simply kept you out of red/black zones, but the way they've mapped the world out, some zones are simply inaccessible unless you risk the sprint across a hostile zone.
Ah, this brings back memories of Ultima Online.

Put everything in the bank, run to the next town, take everything out of the bank.

Good times.

Hearts of Iron IV gets a free DLC to celebrate a year since release

Quoting: Mountain ManPeople complain about the Paradox DLC model, but they are, in fact, one of the most generous developers.
Beyond that, these days they're honestly one of the closest companies out there to the old "expansion pack" style of stuff.

Could improve things.

Could make them worse.

We'll see.

Shadow of Mordor on AMD Ryzen CPU suffers from a performance hit due to non-optimal thread scheduling

I'm left to wonder if there isn't some CGROUP magic that could accomplish something similar, but I dunno. I was planning to leave researching how CGROUP stuff works for after when I had a Ryzen or Ryzen 2 system capable of doing passthrough correctly.
