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.

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)

Developers of the RPG 'Edge Of Eternity' are still waiting on Unity before supporting Linux

There has been alot of vulkan development in many of these engines but like others have pointed out, not feature complete so makes it hard on developers. Even MoltenVK isn't feature complete.
To roll back game code to no use certain features is more hassle than it's worth so I can understand their, wait until its added mentality.

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

Didn't know they welded the GPU on the board, I thought they used MXM slots or whatever they were.

Quoting: Sil_el_moti still have little problems with overheating when playing games like "dying light".
Yeah with ITX you have two options, first is make the GPU pull air from outside the case via vent holes and put a 120mm water cooler AIO loop on the CPU, or put a GPU AIO cooling loop on instead.

I want to go with the later option for my 1080ti MINI card BUT water cooling loop will cost up to $300 which is a bit much.

If I get a GPU waterblock then you could argue it has decent resellability but they start at like $150USD.

My ITX case(s) are not overly small, they technically above 2-3x the size of a console. To get a console sized ITX build you really need to do ALLOT of custom cooling configurations and not be afraid of using a dremel!

Most steam machines where upgradable in every respect except for the Motherboard. It would be nice if they went with a ITX standard however!

A look at the second backer build of the dark XCOM-like Phoenix Point

Probably some of XCOM1-2 developers are working on this, but the main dude help make the originals so perhaps it doesn't matter.

I like the targeting system, pretty cool. Vehicles movement could be a little more natural, atm they move more like mobile sentry bots rather then a big truck. (perhaps animation is just a bit fast in areas)

When the aliens die it sometimes sounds like, wazzzzuppppp... lol
Also I think you broke the bosses AI at the end, seems it can't figure out how to get past the vehicle, clearly it should have destroyed it easily in 1-2 turns but it just passes.

Open source game engine 'Godot Engine' to get an impressive third-person shooter demo

Looks good, hard to determine how well the engine is optimized however since there is no FPS counter and the videos are 30fps. Unity3d engine started off real small and it had quite large performance issues for some time, I wonder if Godot will get Vulkan API and optimized with it earlier on.
