Quoting: Eike

Quoting: 14Makes me worried I'll lose my dependable quality and avoid any compression and buffering.

You're aware that DVDs are compressed?

I get Blu-rays. But I think you know what I meant. When a streaming device can't buffer quickly enough, it switches to a lower quality. Even when it's high quality, it's not usually as high as Blu-ray.

I think it's pretty huge news and I am optimistic.

Graphics don't look as good as Satisfactory, but great job on the video. I wonder how long it took them to make that video. I'm fairly interested in the game but want to see it do things better than Satisfactory or have its own unique features. Voxel based is a start. I wonder if it "works" if you know what I mean.

Yes, I also really enjoy watching the big Dota 2 tournament (TI). I watch Twitch in between games but then watch from within the game during the matches. It's so cool seeing it locally rendered.

Makes me think of Rush 2049, which I spent hours playing with my cousin. I guess that was 20 years ago. :neutral:

Not sure I'll mess with that game, but the video was so entertaining that I watched the whole thing! Ha!

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: LoftyI know that once netflix came along i almost entirely stopped watching movies as my local 'rent-a-DVD' market shut down overnight. I occasionally watch a Blueray or something on TV if i catch it on, Sometimes a streaming site might be playing a free movie. But il never be a netflix customer, and given the creeping price hikes im glad im not. This is what market capture does, it locks the customer into an ever worsening deal.

You know where you can still get DVDs? Libraries. And they lend for free, for longer than the stores ever did. If you can get access to a university library, I know mine has a surprisingly good selection . . . but even my local public library has quite a few, plus access to the stuff from a wide network of libraries including the great big city centre one.
Libraries are one of the last bastions of resistance to the agenda of information wanting to be hoarded.

I've maintained my Netflix DVD (blu-ray) plan for years. I don't like the video compression over streaming when I want to watch a movie (don't care so much about TV series). But I did recently notice that the return address is no longer in my local city; it's across the country. Makes me worried I'll lose my dependable quality and avoid any compression and buffering.

I think it's great. People can do as much or little of their own security reviews. Without the AUR or DUR, you can still go to Github or GitLab or Docker and run like anything. It's very different than picking a release branch because you can literally install one thing from the AUR or DUR, so it's not like you're committing to running a system made of experimental bubblegum.

The KenShape website [External Link] says it can export in these formats:

Models tested using Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Asset Forge, Blender, Roblox, Defold and PlayCanvas — more in progress.

Asset Forge [External Link] supports these formats:

OBJ, FBX, DAE (Collada), STL and glTF. Most game engines including Unity, Unreal Engine and Godot support one or more of these formats.

Excellent! I think I'll buy both.

The only reason I don't have the Heroic Launcher is because it's another store to manage. It's great for Linux gamers to be at the same point that Windows gamers have been at, where you have game launcher overload. I'd say it's the main reason I don't have any games installed from the Epic store even though they release free games that you can get working with Wine / Proton. It's like I'm at capacity for this kind of stuff: Steam native, Proton, Lutris, Battle.net, Origin, minigalaxy, itch.io... I'm happy that the Heroic Launcher is available for those that want to use it. :)
