I've recently gotten an itch to play Stellaris. It's just a matter of: do I want to see the rest of the day disappear into the blood-shot hours of the night?

This shooter actually looks good enough to play it by myself (no co-op), so wishlisted!

Yeah, no reason to get it in Early Access then. Cool news about co-op for sure though!

I like seeing news of big changes to the popular distributions. Keep them coming!

I agree that I would not recommend Debian to a newbie Linux gamer. That doesn't mean more experienced individuals can't make it work for them. Also, Debian is a great server operating system, and some of us like hosting dedicated game servers, too. Not to mention it's really impactful in the Linux ecosystem. I'm starting to wonder why you _wouldn't_ want distro news. Larger PC gaming sites may not talk about Windows or Mac too much because a lot of gamers don't care what their OS is. It's different for us. We game on Linux for a _reason_, not just by default. So, I'll go out on a limb and say Linux gamers care more about their operating system than the typical Windows gamer.

I don't really understand what they're going to do with this.

Quoting: GuestAlso, does anybody find it strange that they ship with epiphany(and not Firefox) as the default browser? they show this off on all their screenshots.

I wonder if maybe they are shipping non-free codecs or extensions with it, and so they have to rebrand. I didn't look into it; just a guess.

I liked Elementary for a little while for the kids' computers. I wanted them to be familiar with a Mac-like experience rather than Windows. Well, I only kept eOS on their systems for less than a year because I use Arch btw and was too frustrated trying to get programs installed into their Ubuntu-based ecosystem. This was a couple years ago and before Flatpak stuff. So, I switched them to Manjaro (and then later to EndeavourOS). I hope Endeavour doesn't get really opinionated down the road because I want the Arch creep to stop in this household. I don't want to install more Arch systems from scratch. But they give me the most freedom and least frustration I feel like.

All in all, I am glad eOS exists and hope they and their users enjoy working with it. Probably not the right choice for gamers (generally speaking of course).

They've added quite a lot of free updates to this game over the years. Wow.

I bought the game because I've been waiting for it for a long time. Unfortunately, I can't start a game. The main menu loads, but I can't get past character and base names. It's a pity. Since I have a fondness for this game for some reason, I will probably try to submit bugs... whenever I have time play a game again. :tongue: Busy Summer.

EDIT: I later discovered that the game worked on my laptop but not my tower. Now, a few weeks later, I noticed that there was an update to the GOG version. I am happy to say that I can play it on my tower now. :smile:

I came back here after seeing a review in a magazine and knew it looked familiar. The review I read said that there is a concept (or more) that is similar to Blade Runner, which is very timely as I recently watched it for the first time. They said that the script is really good and rated the game pretty high. So, while I'm often a bit of a graphics snob, it sounds interesting in a book-reading way. I think I will pick this up on Itch now.

I like how Valve is combating scalpers of the Steam Deck. With GPU's sold by many distributors, I can't easily think of a strategy against crypto-miners and scalpers.
