It's been over "20 years in the making", Blender 2.93 LTS is out now

Quoting: ElectricPrismImagine we could do for GIMP what has been done for Blender, what an amazing thing that would be.
You should check out Krita. At this point, the main reason I like GIMP is because of its legacy. Krita is faster to get things done for me.

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.

Slimbook think they have the 'One' for you with their new compact mini-PC

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.

Top-down tactical shooter RUNNING WITH RIFLES had a massive surge in players recently

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.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition now playable on Linux with Proton GE

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.

SPRAWL is an upcoming hardcore cyberpunk FPS set in a huge megalopolis

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.

Sci-fi action-RPG Beyond Mankind launches with Linux support this August

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.
