GNOME 46 is out now with experimental variable refresh rate (VRR) support
20 Mar 2024 at 5:33 pm UTC

Speaking of GNOME (which I've gone back to using), I recently found out about this issue on the official gitlab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/issues/52 [External Link] — there seems to be a serious initiative to replace Cantarell as the UI font, with Inter. I really hope this gets carried through.

Knock knock. Who's there? More scam apps on Canonical's Snap Store!

I have a profoundly insightful contribution to make to the discussion:

I think something like 'Who’s at the door? ... Canonicals snap store' would rhyme better.

Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection launched on Steam (and other classics)

Quoting: Fourteen00They actually give you a discount if you own other games in the bundle. I was only missing 5 games so it was only 6 USD. Good deal. Too bad it doesn't include the DVD with all the behind the scenes videos and concept art like the physical collection had but this is a good start.
I don't know what's in those DVDs; but on youtube I've seen a couple of behind the scenes videos & interviews featuring the fellow who plays Kane -- and he's hilarious; incredibly goofy.

I'm tempted to get the original C&C ... we used to hold little 'lan parties' at my buddy's house to play that one & Duke Nukem 3D.

Quoting: wvstolzingSo this is probably called 'Omega', due to the final 'choice in the Atlas Path Mission' that they say they've added -- though I wonder if it's also the final update for the game itself.
1:17 in the trailer, top left corner, "More Will Follow".
Ah, great; I skimmed the site, but didn't watch the trailer.

It's a bluff, obviously.

I'm putting up a local mirror for this *right now* --- hopefully it will be done cloning before Nintendo sends in a cease & desist.

Quoting: g000hWith any luck, a bunch of indie studios will pop up releasing games built with passion and good game mechanics.

Surreal Engine is an open source reimplementation of Unreal Engine for classic games
23 Jan 2024 at 3:08 pm UTC

Quoting: rea987Though I managed to run Rune on modern distros, I would love to have Rune AND Deus Ex implementations. That would be the most anticipated engine reimplantation project!
Absolutely; it would obviate the need for Kent's Launcher over wine.
