Quoting: jordicomaWhat? A functionality coming from windows world that its good?

Not really, WaitForMultipleObjects() is different/higher-level than futex2, however futex2 can be used to implement a faster/better version of WaitForMultipleObjects().

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 developer responds on Easy Anti-Cheat for Linux with Proton
28 Sep 2021 at 10:49 am UTC Likes: 1

I hope they enable it, I enjoyed Vermintide 1 and look forward to trying Vermintide 2 once they enable Proton access.

I don't think many developers will have an issue enabling the feature so long as they can explicitly state they aren't supporting it and for the community to accept that, though I am not certain what the actual legal position is (presumably different on a per country basis)?

A co-op game with anti-cheat, is it planning to be a persistent loot-drop game, or highly competitive?

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT announced and launching August 11
30 Jul 2021 at 7:39 am UTC Likes: 1

The price of these GPUs are still very steep, was perusing an online store and noticed they had 6900XT(£1800) and 6800XT(£1000), someone in the retail chain is asking for silly money and seeing if anyone bites.

I do wonder if GPU manufacturers are struggling with 4k, high refresh-rates, and low power consumption. They all seem to be struggling with creating GPUs that can cover the criteria.

As I sit down to paint some Battletech miniatures this news pops up. I might give it a gander if a few friends are interested in it too.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I have a few placeholder animations that I would love to get tweened and this looks like a great stop gap.

It looks like a nice laptop, but I can't find what the weight of the machine is. Being advertised as a SlimBook I can only imagine it's not heavy, their website is somewhat light on information.
