Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: scainePrey [External Link] is platinum, and they've recently removed Denuvo, which was preventing me from buying it until now. At 80% off, only £4, I'm picking this up, finally.

Oh! Removing denuvo does indeed change things. Still, over my 5 euro general guideline of spending no more than 5 euro on a proton game. Seems that the pound price is better for this one. What would make me more hesitant is sending money in the direction of Zenimax.

Pretty weird to release the game on GOG, and keep the denuvo on Steam.
It's a *great* game, by the way, I absolutely loved it.

Thinking about Flash I get memories of mid-90s 'multimedia CD-ROMs' put together with groundbreaking Macromedia technology. The internet archive has loads of those as well, by the way — and it's usually shocking how little content they actually had.

By the way, this is my favorite 'flash content' of all time:

Well, well, well...

You know who has a platypus mascot [External Link]? The Darwin project [External Link], of course...

... and yesterday, Apple released their first arm-based line.
COINCIDENCE? I think not...

Quoting: wvstolzingEDIT: Another perspective puzzler in development - https://twitter.com/mattstark256/status/1213156890475212800?s=20 [External Link] - looks really interesting. The developer has posted a couple more updates in the Summer in his twitter feed.

Oh, thanks for posting this, very cool! Seems to be called Viewfinder [External Link]?

Speaking of interesting puzzle games, I wonder if Miegakure [External Link] will ever be released? It's been in development for 11(!) years now. Not DNF bad, but it is getting up there in years.

Thanks for the link! I was wondering whether the game had a website, because I wasn't able to find a link on the dev's twitter feed. It's very barebones, but something tangible to keep track of.

This looks really interesting to me as a fan of Portal (& I also liked The Witness quite a bit; which also has a good number of perspective puzzles.)

-- it's also on GOG, by the way.

I'm sure this sizzles the hearts of all 80s/90s 'micro' users.

This fellow already has an 'unboxing and review': https://youtu.be/3A7pQN5W08E [External Link]

This fellow brings up the similarity to early micros: https://youtu.be/P1E5xszQqV8 [External Link]

Quoting: omicron-b

Quoting: ArehandoroI (usually) love fedora, and I love the changes introduced in 33. But the post, and comments so far, seem to miss the most important and controversial changes this iteration includes (for me); systemd-resolved as a default dns daemon.

What's wrong with it?
I believe I have it in Ubuntu 20.04, but I use stubby and DoT, so it was as simple as about 2 lines in terminal to switch to stubby.
Truth be told, stubby may actually crash about once a month and I have to restart it to get back to Internet.
Maybe I need to learn how to use systemd-resolved after all.

Various compatibility issues: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2476 [External Link]
I used it for a while on Arch; FWIW I thought the configuration was really tidy & simple -- though I had to switch back because *some* application -- can't remember what for the life of me, sorry -- kept breaking.

I wonder if Fedora will upgrade to XFCE 4.16 within the 33 cycle. (There's already a copr for it, though I'll stick with the official release.)

Quoting: ValckThey were really well-written, comprehensive, educational text books, not some shoddy three "page" PDF you get these days, IF you are lucky...

Not to mention the available schematics & repair manuals.

For the young ones among us, the scanned manuals on this website should give an idea: https://commodore.bombjack.org/ [External Link]

(It's not only Commodore; but sadly there's nothing from Sinclair; & the Apple collection is a little thin.)
