Common phrases or even words from the dictionary shouldn't be trademark-able, within reason. Disgusting practice really! unfortunately the so called people in charge of regulating these systems don't give a toss clearly, what a surprise.

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

I think you can use a HDMI to Displayport dongle? A DP would have been nice but I can understand them wanting to save a couple dollars per console to not have one in.

vkBasalt, the Vulkan post-processing layer has another new release with new effects

As this project moves forward I'd love to see a in-game popup gui to configure things, that be pretty neat. Nothing too serious thought, reshade's GUI kinda gets crazy at times.

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.

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
