KDE developer suggests Plasma needs to be simpler by default
30 Nov 2021 at 4:06 pm UTC Likes: 7

I trust KDE. They deliver a strong yet friendly DE. Having better default settings fixes the complexity problem while also allowing power users to customize whatever they want. This has been happening for some time now as I've been on KDE for a few years. They don't always get it right the first time but it's going in the right direction in the long run.

Nadir is an upcoming roguelike deckbuilder with 'artwork burning of infernal fire'
5 May 2021 at 10:14 am UTC

Quoting: inlinuxdudeIt's hard to take this seriously when the narrator misprounces the title of "Nadir" muliple times... :( (I mean its their game, so they can pronounce the mythical city in it how they'd like, but its obviously based on our word nadir, so it would be much less jarring if the narrator would just use a common pronunciation)
It's a game. Taking it seriously isn't mandatory and if you do, you need to suspend your disbelief and get over minor details like this because you're, probably, part of a small group of people that think that way. Characters in games mispronounce things all the time while also being inconsistent. I've heard "Athel Loren" pronounced in a number of ways by characters in Warhammer 2, yet I'm not fazed about it. If anything, you can attribute it to the inevitable cultural differences that might exist between the fictional factions within the game. The same or something similar can be applied here.

Also, you don't know what the word is based on and assuming otherwise is baseless. I dodn't even know what "your word" refers to so it's not that common as you thought. The disambiguation on wikipedia has about a dozen entries.

Wolfire Games filed a lawsuit against Valve over abuse of their market position
30 Apr 2021 at 7:24 pm UTC

Steam sucks for having such a high rate but "Epic fixing it for all gamers" is bullshit. They'd kill to be in the same position as Valve. Their exclusives are
as anti-competitive as you can get.

Mark my words. They're down the bait and switch path as every other player who's trying to fight the market big player just so they can become it.

These things usualy happen to games that have shitty devs. And this case isn't an exception.

This series would have made for a great read in one of those defunct pc gaming paper magazines.

Total War: WARHAMMER III announced and confirmed for Linux by Feral Interactive

I've never been a fan of the total war series up until I tried warhammer 2 and got hooked. Still playing it to this day. It's a huge time sink but they really get fantasy right.

It's the only game that catches the scale and feeling of the lotr movie battles.

The dlc cash grab is a bit off-putting but it's easy to look the other way since it's a quality product.

Hoping more warhammer 2 dlcs will go on sale in a mega complete bundle or something.

Unity acquires the open source MLAPI networking library

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGotta say it feels weird to me to see someone say they "acquired" something that's open source. I know what they mean, but my instincts yell "It's open source, it belongs to everyone!"
The press release doesn't mention anything about any "acquisition". I suspect Liam just took the liberty to add some click-bait to the title. :)

The press release reads [External Link] as below.
We’re thrilled to share that the OSS multiplayer networking framework MLAPI is joining the Unity family, along with its creator, Albin Corén.
