I most certainly wasn't expecting this. Given the critics will wait for an offer, but I'd like to play it.

Only in 2019, 80937,13 hectares have burnt :________(

P.S: For those of us more accustomed to the metric system xD

Quoting: EikeThat's interesting!
Heard nothing of Siberian fires here in Germany!

Yeah, I didn't hear anything from Siberian fires either.

Google plan over 120 Stadia games this year, 10 coming to Stadia before other platforms

Quoting: mao_dze_dunMy guess is Steam Cloud gaming has more to do with Valve's partners than Valve itself. Microsoft and EA are both friends with Valve again, and both companies are developing their game streaming services. Considering it's been confirmed Origin Access is coming to Steam, it's not too far-fetched to expect some form of Game Pass to make its way as well. And since it's all but certain that the top tier of Game Pass will include the subscription to xCloud, it is very possible for EA to offer some equivalent. It's more likely (for me anyway) that Valve will enable such services through Steam, rather offer a cloud gaming solution of their own. Quite frankly, they just don't have the money and infrastructure to pull something like this themselves, IMO (don't get b*ttheart people, you know I'm right). Beyond Google and Microsoft, I can't really think of another company that has the network infrastructure and the infinite resources to create a palatable game streaming service. Even Sony has partnered with MS on that front.
End of speculations :)

PS I expect EA's streaming service to fail. I hope it's good, but I just don't see them being able to compete with MS and Google.

Well, in terms of Infra I would say Amazon is probably a key player here. Microsoft can potentially pull it off too, but I think all of them should partner to use the same protocols and technology to lower the cost and barrier for everyone. But that won't happen.

Alternate history WWII story-driven tactical RPG 'Broken Lines' new trailer, release soon

Quoting: KimyrielleI'd be curious what the "alternate" history is and how it ties into the storyline, but couldn't find anything about it on their website or on Steam.

I imagine the ability to make choices to change endings it's what they mean by alternate.

By that logic every single strategy game ever made is "alternate history".

Which they are :P

Very interesting indeed. It has neat ideas but somehow doesn't quite say much with the trailer, hopefully at release we can see some reviews.

Pixelorama, the free and open source sprite editor has a sweet new release up

I completely missed news about this one! Awesome project, hopefully I can try it soon and maybe do some doodles (my drawing is horrible) :D

The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU has been announced and new Ryzen CPUs coming
7 January 2020 at 1:26 pm UTC

I'm usually in and out of the GPU news/market, usually only checking when I want to buy a new card or at big events. Some people mention in the comments RDNA2 as the big jump in performance... but that is exactly what people said about Navi.

Don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy with my 5700, but it seems we are always hoping for the next big thing due to unfulfilled expectations of current generation over and over.
