NVIDIA have officially announced the GeForce RTX 2000 series of GPUs, launching September

Quoting: dubigrasuI was waiting for the these cards to hit the market, not because I intend to buy one (way too expensive) but because it means I will be finally be able to get a GTX 1080ti, which will serve me for another few good years. My last Nvidia card was a GTX 780ti, which is still a very good card (although a bit power hungry).

Prices for 1080ti already dropped significantly (at least on Ebay), and is a hell of a good card to have, with no current rivals.
I am also somewhat tempted to wait and see AMD's counter-offer, but who knows how long will that take.
How safe is to get a pre-owned card on eBay? With this kind of items I'm always scared the previous owner overclocked them a lot or any other heavy use, resulting in an early breakage.

Can't believe how quickly the development goes. It seems to have gotten lots of attention and momentum, hopefully all that effort and time invested isn't diluted in the ocean in the near future.

It's a shame they're dropping support for the game but seeing their reasons we can't really blame them. Of course, we could say choosing the wrong framework adn so on but we aren't in a position to oblige devs to use one framework or the other.

On the other hand, about the 1/4 of gains from the cost... well, it's ta vicious circle. If there isn't a proper supported port, there aren't sells. If they don't sell, the port isn't profiterol* and so on.

Anyway, I liked the first one so much that I bought the other 2, and the boardgame, regardless of their support. Both are playable under Wine, if someone is interested.

* I like profiterols more than profitable.

Rare is the day that we don't receive some good news related to DXVK. I like it this way :)

The art reminds me of the aesthetics of Rock of Ages and the also graphic adventure to be Lancelot's Hangover: The Quest for the Holy Booze. The latter was successfully backed in Kickstarter a few years ago. Very Python-esque all of them, which usually is a great thing. I'm interested but experience tells me better keeping expectations low, just in case.

Quoting: Nanobang[insert Jason Bourne joke here]
I was Bourne ready for this joke.

Edit: Exploration, space battle, RPG... Oh boy, if the devs do manage to bring it to Linux I promise to get it on Day 1!*

* As long as I am aware of the release on Day 1, I'm not on holidays, or the hospital, etc xD

Edit 2: I wish it had combat out of the spacecraft too though.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire – Beast of Winter is now available, some thoughts

Gosh, I can't put up with releases. Didn't even start this one and there is already a DLC. I might have to start a veto on buying games again*

* Is this even phrased correctly?

Action adventure 'Knights and Bikes' is looking good and they shared an update about Linux support
