Epic Games have awarded the FOSS game manager Lutris with an Epic MegaGrant

Well this is better then nothing. EGS does work decently under Lutris if you enable the container to be windows10 compliant (of sorts) via winecfg.

It could perform better but I suspect that's more of a wine thing then lutris, time will tell.

I can do everything Lutris does via the terminal with commands but it is a chore trying to remember all the command syntax and variables, quite a chore for someone like me whom is the absolute worst at remembering things.

Atari VCS enters the final stages of pre-production as it heads towards mass production

well that appears to be the back of the unit so maybe the front looks better, lol

maybe they have yet to stick on the wood pattern to the front panels? or something. I dunno.

This thing still going for $199USD? not a terrible price I guess. I only hope it does reasonably well (if nothing more then a streaming box) so Atari can perhaps sometime in future release a REAL gaming console contender, which seems to be very easy to do these days given everyone is using AMD GPU CPU combo's and not custom designs.

The Wine 4.21 development release is now available

This wine release should have a fix for Mod Organizer 2 for those interested, the UVFS should mostly work, however some applications like FNIS etc may/will need their folder structure created manually within the games data folder. (minor issue).

I've promised myself I will finish the first two tomb raiders before trying the 3rd, I haven't even loaded up RotTR.. lol

Also no Heavy Metal DLC discounts for BT, shame.

That controller is $89.95AUD for me, guess they don't like Australians. OH I see what happened, got f-over by time zone. Nice

I would love it if every government made it law to make electronics repairable, and to have in stock a certain minimal of spare parts at wholesale price for customers wanting to repair old electronics. The future is going to be real dark... lol

Well maybe it was intentional. Me personally, I prefer controllers that just have a couple or so bolts in the back that allow for easy opening of controller. Yeah it adds 20cents to the price, whatever....

From what I understand Stadia will happily suck all your data away if you don't limit it. Maybe early launch issues I dunno. Also I hear the controller feels cheap and can't be repaired, its glued together, probably better getting a 3rd party one.

IMO Stadia is a very expensive product/service to use and have for the convenience. People complaining they can't afford a console (even next gen) and must use Stadia are probably not being very sensible. Lets keep in mind Google is going to shut this service down in the soon future!

BATTLETECH Heavy Metal has firmly stomped its way to release
22 Nov 2019 at 2:51 am UTC

Yeah well its invoked the more missions you play, you can also cause it by loading your savegame 10-20 times in a row.

I have a 1080TI Ryzen3600 system so perhaps its specific to hardware, I dunno.
The issue manifests itself with stutters/pauses/increased load times. This all affects performance.
