Quoting: 14What is up with you guys having to download all the updates as soon as you know they exist? I let my "queued for later" list do its thing.

1) It will *never* do its thing because the download times are *always* when my computer is turned off.

How sure are you about that? My computer goes to sleep all the time. Not only that, I don't run Steam all that often. My computer is absolutely not online during most of the scheduled updates, yet they happen automatically. I dare you to test it. Of course, if it's just a pet peeve of yours, then that's what it is and that's that.

What is up with you guys having to download all the updates as soon as you know they exist? I let my "queued for later" list do its thing. It's called letting a computer be a computer. Am I going to play like 5 games in the same day? No. Am I even going to play one of those games in the next week? Unlikely. Let it be.

You know an application hasn't gotten a facelift in a long time when a tiny UI change with no new functionality is newsworthy! Ha.

That's a nice, little box. Others I've seen over the years are not so attractive due to price, but this guy is a lot more appetizing.

Pretty exciting stuff! I really liked when the character animation automatically accounted for different sized obstacles when bounding over them.

Pretty cool. My friends and I only played this game like one weekend. But I think it was worth it and we can always check it out again sometime.

Pretty cool that this works already. I'm not in the mood to pay $60 to replay games I already played though. It is three games and I think that's fair, but... I never had the feeling that I needed to play through a second time after finishing these. I will say, however, that after I finished the original Mass Effect, I thought that any gamer that didn't play it was missing out on life. They are great games.

Quoting: tuubiLooking at the cyberpunk setting I wouldn't be surprised if the name comes from Gibson's classic Sprawl trilogy.

You're probably right, but the mech dogs and katana instantly made me think of Snow Crash.

This game looks very promising.

Well, I actually like modern graphics. This game's graphics were not terribly consistent in the trailer. Some of the outdoor scenes looked much better than indoor scenes. Yes, reminded me of Half-Life 2 or SWAT 4 age of graphics. I can readily admit that I'd rather look at a game like the newer Tomb Raider series to name a Linux supported one. Going outside of those bounds, I recently finished Outriders on PS5 and I was constantly impressed at how good it looked and smooth it ran. Yeah, I also can appreciate a simpler look. I played RimWorld yesterday and today. But I have a pretty hard time playing an FPS that looks old. This game looks iffy to me as far as graphics go. That's me anyway.

That looks cool.

I'm really glad to see a very pro-Linux manufacturer come out with a cool, mechanical keyboard. But I thought I was splurging when I spent $160 on my keyboard. Add another $100 on top of that? Oooouuch, man. Too hard to swallow for someone who already has a 10-keyless, mechanical, RGB LED backlit keyboard.

The Moonlander is sexy and has had my eye for a while. It offers something very different from what I have, which is why I still consider it from time to time despite the steep price.

A lot of folks are commenting about 10-keyless. Mine is like that and I picked it that way on purpose. However, I am thinking about buying a standalone 10-key that I can set nearby. I like my mouse hand to be closer to its place on the home row, and removing the 10-key allows my mouse pad to be closer. But I'm beginning to learn about game development tools like Unity 3D, Godot, and Blender. It would be nice to use the 10-key for built-in shortcuts instead of having to come up with new ones when there are so many! Also, Arma 3 uses 10-key shortcuts as well.
