Uh, I compile my kernel myself, and I missed this until now.

Talking point - what have you been playing lately?

It's not ARC Raiders because of the third-person-perspective. I do play these games, but I do find them a lot less immersive than first-person-perspective ones.

For instance, I finished Return to Moria [External Link] with friends a few weeks back. Still, one of the gripes I have with it it's that you can't change the perspective to first-person.

I also don't like the "cinematic"-style that comes with a lot of them, like featuring long cut-scenes & dolly shots (And of course I absolutely HATE when they're trying to emulate a camera with motion blur, chromatic aberration, lens flare, depth of field and film grain. The only time you're allowed to do that is when the player really sees the world through a camera lens. Computer graphics do not have to emulate technical shortcomings of movie cameras,). Games can be more immersive than movies can ever be. Unless you deliberately break them by trying to emulate movies.

Instead I've been playing FTB Stoneblock 4 [External Link], a Minecraft modpack.

And every week I'm also usually playing Deep Rock Galactic [External Link]

The open source FOSDEM event for 2026 will have a Gaming and VR devroom

Liège Waffles from the food trucks probably need a dedicated budget line. Club Maté drinks also deserve a special mention,
Also, the beer. Belgians probably have the best beer in the world. At FOSDEM itself you only get a very mainstream version of gueuze and kriek (these are types of sour beer, not brands), so be sure not to miss the pre-FOSDEM beer-event at the Delirium.

Tomb Raider I and Tomb Raider II open source re-implementations updated with new graphics options

Very cool. I just wish they would (at least make it possible to) change the controls. They were horrible for keyboard and mouse. Very stupid inventory management.

Go on the hunt for a simple pilsner in a world full of craft beer in Dude, Where Is My Beer? A New Hop

We've had a beer-cartel here in Switzerland from 1935 to 1991. During that time, it was only possible to take over other breweries to increase your market share, which lead to condense 530 breweries down to 34. Which were only allowed to brew 4 kinds of beers, all of them bottom-fermenting and basically all lager and pils (which are very similar anyway).

So, we've been fucking tormented by the pils-mandating assholes for decades, had them kill most Swiss breweries and just about every older style of beer we've ever had.

So I'd guess this game is something for boomers who were never allowed to develop a taste in beer.

Oddworld: Strangers Wrath bad shading on NPC chickens
I can only assume the shading was already ok on Player Character chickens.

The remake moves from the original's fixed-camera viewpoints to an over-the-shoulder perspective, putting you closer to what James sees, for a more thrilling, more immersive experience
They're soo close to getting it.

Oh, I had "The Warlock on Firetop Mountain". As a book, in German. :wub:

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered announced by Aspyr for 2025

The originals have horrible controls. Basically unplayable because of that. So if they fixed that, it's a reason to get them.
