The instantaneous transport method of portals was a game decision by the developers, have you played IW2? still holds up to be one of the best today.

Computers these days don't need sector portals or HIGHWAYS to disguise precision and dimensional limitations. Somebody should inform Egosoft, ditch them all together and just make it full open space, boom. Fixed!

Although some jump portals might make sense for long distance since its a viable technological idea, just not everywhere.

SteamOS has a minor update to test the waters before a bigger update

It's pretty simple --

Yes I know about those cases, BUT JEBUS 260USD for a case? common man, that is seizure inducing expensive!

Anyway I have a Silverstone FT03-MINI case (the smaller one), the biggest issue is the GPU fan is not suited for it and I don't want a vacuum blower style fan so will be upgrading the 1080ti mini card with a GPU waterblock soon. (there is a way to mount a 140mm radiator loop in it, requires some minor modifications)

I was on the fence about doing that because the waterloop upgrade will cost $300 alone and the waterblock will likely be throw away once new generation hardware comes out.

GOOD news is that next gen hardware that is worth a damn is still close to a year away, and I don't think anything Volta is worth it. Will likely wait for a Vega 128 or the sun to explode, whichever.

I have X Rebirth but have been too afraid to try it.. I gotta stop buying games and never playing them, lol

Maybe they should offer a discount for X Rebirth owners, as penitence?

X:R might have been fine if they didn't spend so much resource on making those retarded NPC characters the MAIN thing with the game, people got sick of them fast!

War Thunder currently has a Vulkan renderer under development that you can try out

Wanted to do some testing under Windows10, and well it doesn't work I suspect it's exclusively being tested under Linux atm. Would have been nice to do some comparisons of win/lin driver performance.

The GOG weekly sale has some rather nice Linux games for cheap

Will wait until that one goes for 90% off :)

Since I've mostly finished KCD I guess it's only natural to move on from stabbing people with virtual swords to, stabbing people with virtual nanoswords.

PS. KCD works quite decently at 1080-1440 under Wine and DXVK.

Psychological horror 'Lust for Darkness' is coming to Linux, developers want to see demand for it

Blood, Sex, Gore, Alien Mutations, ohh my... the darkness in me is intrigued!

SQUINTS AT BUG LIST

Probably no fixes there to get VUFS working with Mod Manager 2.1.3+
(symlink script method works but is oddly slow to start games with many mods)
