Squadron 42 finally 'feature complete', CIG talk up Vulkan support for Star Citizen
27 Oct 2023 at 1:20 pm UTC

Quoting: LinasSo wait wait wait... Is this a sequel to a game that is not released yet? :huh:
I was thinking along the same lines. This is like an addon to a game that isn't released yet -- a distraction. It makes me have no faith Star Citizen will ever release. I'm glad I haven't paid any money.

METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 is quite broken on Steam Deck / Linux

These are the perfect type of games for the Deck I think. I hope the problems get fixed, but am disappointed they weren't fixed before release.

By the way, I'm ready for another Sam Fisher game! Or old-school Ghost Recon!

Epic Games launch 'First Run' and 'Now On Epic' with 100% revenue for devs

It looks like a good thing on the surface. As others have pointed out, the gamer experience is not good (the store), and it's pretty doubtful it will improve based on the recent layoff numbers.

I work at a company that has done layoffs before, and the work objectives and the people + time resources no longer match up for a while. The company has to do less. Simple as that.

The demonstration Mega Crit did here is amazing.

Quoting: pbWow, it's almost as if people are not willing to dump $50 on a random game they never heard about. Ever heard of Laffer Curve? :whistle:
I knew about the game at least. It was on my wish list for a good while. I think Steam suggested it to me...? I still want it and plan to get it, but I don't buy single-player games until I'm ready to play them. I'm excited to get it though. Poor marketing? I knew it was HBS at least, and that was a big draw. My thoughts went like this, "Oh, this looks neat. Made by HBS? I'm sold."

KDE Plasma 6.0 now scheduled for release 28th February 2024

Quoting: Liam DaweI'm keen to see all the Wayland improvements since I'm running the Plasma Wayland session by default now.
You run AMD stuff these days, right? Do you ever suspend your system? I have a couple terribly annoying problems with suspend that only occur when I have a Wayland session.

Planetary Annihilation devs reveal Industrial Annihilation

Looks like a twist of genres that could be done just right to make those really long gaming sessions that you can't pull away from. But it will be a challenge to balance good gameplay loops. Thankfully, the creators aren't rookies.

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is leaving 'effective immediately'

Quoting: tuubi
Quoting: 14It has gotten very tiring for all the comments to be about politics here, so I'm glad to see this comment that does not make me feel defensive for the place I was born.
To be less sarcastic: What do you expect comments on an article like this to be about? Something completely unrelated?
No, but it could stay focused on the topical subjects of Unity and the CEO. When the blame so quickly jumps to a giant systemic thing, it becomes a bit fruitless. The vision is too big to take any kind of action, so it is just complaining because it's fun to complain. Like when someone says, "Ah man, it's Monday!" OK, great. Please don't say that to me every week! That would be tiring. Make sense?

Quoting: 14It feels like every reaction to something bad these days is blamed on capitalism.
What do you want people to blame it on? Feudalism? Capitalism is what we have (until the revolution comes :tongue:); it's like farmers blaming everything on the weather--of course they do, and of course it's true.
OK, next time someone looks at me funny, I'm blaming capitalism. And when I do, I expect a grave nod from you in agreement, maybe a "dag nabbit" and knee slap to go with it.

Real-time strategy game Dinolords has you defend against Danes riding Dinosaurs

It sounded dumb, and after the trailer, dumb fun! I may have to get this one later on.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“We'll keep developing this game as long as the community is interested in supporting us, until we're all happy with the quality and amount of content in the game. The Early Access period might last a year or more.”
The game makers have no release date goals. That is way too early for me to jump on board. I'll wait until their vision is completed.
