good to see S2 is on its way, the kids love it.

The only problem with new hero introduction is everyone spam-picks them and well ... ruins games :)
Give it a few weeks. From what I have seen she has crazy burst damage

I have lost soo many hours to this, the shear frustration as you die as not every game is even remotely winnable!
Shattered is by the best (and hardest) adaptation for PixelDungeons but it went a bit off the track with all the Elixers so much so that they is soo much stuff you craft, you don't stand a chance to remember so you end up not doing it and in doing that you weaken yourself as you progress.

Over time they have removed some of the cheezy tactics and right now each boss is very unique and hard in their own way.

At the moment I am lucky if I get to the final boss maybe once in 10-20 games

Interesting,
That might explain why the vulkan cache feature has been broken for the last 3weeks... Something is in the works

It's a bit annoying having to play with cache disabled at the moment as it takes a good few minutes for the interface and game to smooth out, but this is all completed before stuff really happens

Good good,

The WebKit was a PITA to build.
There is probably a new openRazor release soon as there are a number of fixes as well as a number of devices are queued for merging (including my nice keyboard \o/ )

The desktop mode is probably the biggest thing to help Linux adoption.

The Desk booting straight into whatever will replace BigPicture makes it a easy to use portable gaming system and the fact it uses linux under the hood should be transparent to the end user (like Android is build on linux).

Why would a user consider playing with linux? until, at their leisure (ie not forced on them, which is key) they flick to a desktop which behaves like a linux machine and before you know it people will consider installing linux because its not that different - sure filesystem layout, package management ...

The tech savvy lot or the inquisitive lot could easily actively switch while those that are just consumers will still just follow whatever was setup for them.

Had a few games this evening.
Has a tribes feel to it and twitchy firefights of quake

The portals feel gimicky but definetly a clutch save ability

Quoting: kon14

Quoting: NaibIs the missing piece for Wayland and Nvidia ?

We have the driver (470). We have Xwayland (21.1.2). But there was still something missing

You can use Gnome and KDE on Wayland with Nvidia ever since 470, but you're doing so using the suboptibal EGL Streams backends while also being limited to these two compositors.

Mesa merged external GBM support so that Nvidia can finally work as expected on every sincle compositor, but we're still missing a new driver release adding Nvidia-side support for this.

Thats what I thought... I won't go near GNOME/KDE. You can launch sway/wayfire with 470 but it is slightly laggy and equally Xwayland is laggy... the missing part was obviously Nvidia accepting GBM so this mesa release closes it but yes... a new nvidia driver is needed. hopefully something soon to replace 470.57.02, maybe nvidia was waiting for mesa

Great ! And yes this hints the 470 series is due

Just wish you could buy some RTX cards... There are hints it's becoming easier, especially with the low hash rate tweaks to help gamers being leached by miners
