Well adding it in non-beta won't do any harm as it add's more HID for udev to manage.

interestingly I popped over to the gentoo wiki page I created to update the entry and someone had added a HTC vive HID entry.

# HTC Vive HID Sensor naming and permissioning
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2c87", MODE="0666"

Anyone familiar with CannonFodder (old Amiga game). Is this game like this and if so how close to cannonfodder?
there are a handful of games from my childhood that were 2nd to none (forget graphics, gameplay...) this was one of them

So the article goes on to explain that OGL structure is inherently slow thus games using it will be slower then says vulkan won't make things faster

Yes OGL was born out of and is driven by the CAD market where there was accurate over fast.

Well early reports is that Win10 is losing "market share" could be a statistical anomaly ... would need to wait till next month to really see if there is a hint of a trend

The steam survey sort of lines up with this as well

Windows 10 64 bit 47.48% +0.04%
Windows 10 1.42% -0.09%

thats a net loss of 0.05% tiny and maybe a one off

I have two steam controller & they are great. I do not have a games console so the whole "but xbox is better" is moot to me. My 9yo is quite good with these controllers as well for the likes of overlord and portal + a couple of RPG games.

decal's look interesting... shame they only let you can't buy multiple of the same type in one go

I liked the idea of NMS but its seeming very repetitive and no linux.

Now this... is interesting. Survival, building. What happens when you get off your planet though? all the gameplay has shown you having to survive, build a base etc...
