I don't have time.
I really don't have time.
Also, I already spent more money on games this month than I should have.

QuoteThere are so many amazing games out there to play; you don't need to feel guilty about hopping from game to game.From a (non-Ubisoft, non-EA) game developer's perspective that's actually pretty beneficial. If people play a lot of different games, they pay for a lot of different games after all.
Cultist Simulator gets much improved Steam Deck support

It's really cool if old games still see support.
I hope this also fixes the keyboard scrolling issue, which is really annoying on the Deck. That issue has already been fixed in Book of Hours, so backporting the fix to CS would imho make sense.

Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode to be more approachable for new players

If I could have one wish for Dwarf Fortress, it would be the current version of the game, feature-wise, but with the controls and UI from before the Steam release. I'm not talking about the ASCII art, I know that's an option in the game, but about the keybindings and especially the building menu functionality.
I know that this would be no easy task, with all the changes to the game other than controls, but I found the old ones more powerful. Especially when it comes to building, where the new controls are just overly convoluted (or even buggy). Building stairs is a chore now, because you can't place individual stair pieces. So you have to designate more than you need, and then cancel designations again... Or, worse, some combinations that were easy to do in 0.47 just can't be done due to broken input, like building up-stairs from already dug-out areas into not-dug-out areas.

Whoa, I'm honestly impressed by the discussion my snarky (and not at all serious) comment started.
I've learned something here. Thanks!

I'm a bit torn on this one. On the one hand it looks really interesting. On the other hand it's €20 that will be spent on nothing once it gets pulled from Steam because of (rightful) copyright claims by The Pokémon Company...

Vulkan API update brings Video Extensions for Accelerated H.264 and H.265 Encode

Oh, and I just realized I answered my own question. If you don't use those API calls, you don't make the codecs available to the end user, and should therefore be fine (I guess, ianal).

Quoting: F.UltraIirc the hardware and drivers don't need a license, only the software that makes the codecs available to end users. At some point Fedora even removed some Mesa features related to those video codecs because of that: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/PYUYUCM3RGTTN4Q3QZIB4VUQFI77GE5X/Quoting: Liam DaweQuoting: soulsourceI just saw this toot, and now I'm wondering if one really needs to worry about licensing if one uses those APIs...Kind of an overly alarmist take. The API being able to do it, doesn't mean you have to use it. You're not subject to patents you don't use - if they even cover this.
Or, worse, if one needs to worry about MPEG licenses if one uses unrelated parts of Vulkan...
exactly and one cannot patent a function call. In any case nVIDIA, Intel and AMD have all licensed the MPEG patents to be able to implement the hardware decoder (since the patent covers the algorithm) so this is all covered.
