Our Wine release day puns are always in pour taste so none today for Wine 4.19

It's funny that Proton slowed a little their releases, there's a lot of newer version of wine, dxvk and d9vk

Valve ends Counter-Strike: Global Offensive container key trading and selling
29 Oct 2019 at 3:19 pm UTC

To be fair, it's really strange the usage of the market to buy keys, it's cheaper in game, and I don't get why someone will buy a key to resell it a few more cents as steam have some % (30%?) on it.

Embark Studios, AMD and Adidas are all now supporting Blender development

Blender is a pretty powerful tool, but I don't get why a lot of big companies start to support suddenly for "no reason", the interval between the articles about a big company supporting is little.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I hope that even more companies support it, it's just curious, maybe there's something big that we don't know yet.

The Children's Commissioner in England has called on the government to class loot boxes as gambling

Ironically, you pointed at the difference between adults and kids yourself in the very same posting...
The adult is responsible for the children, not the government, is that hard to get?

I known a boy that used their father's credit card, ONCE. The father explained to him that this is a bad thing. Maybe if the father spent some time with the kid, maybe this didn't happened the first time.

We don't need the government controlling even more our lives, the parents should moderate what their children are using.
Except many don't and that's without getting into the issues that the report brings up, with bullying when some kids don't have what others do due to the microtransactions and so on. There's an absolute ton of reasons why this sort of legislation is necessary and it's not just for kids too, you do realise this kind of gambling and blowing money on loot boxes/micro happens very regularly to adults too right?

Don't be so naive.
I know that microtransactions are bad, but the parent should be closer to their kid and show what is bad, explain the things and ban the game. That simple.

To adults, they are responsible, they have their money and do whatever they want. Want to lose all the salary trying a nice skin, OK. If they want to spend all on drugs, OK. If they want to do an investment with the money, better! But isn't I or the government that should control the life of other people. This is freedom

DXVK 1.4.3 released helping games with a large number of different shaders
18 Oct 2019 at 8:38 pm UTC

Quoting: LunielleIt's not that amazing when you see games like Monster Hunter World achieve just 70% of FPS compared to Windows.. Why do some games have such low performance while others can perform, even better than Windows sometimes? Aside from that DXVK is truly amazing.
3/4 of the performance isn't that bad, if you can play at 70~80fps on Windows, you can obviously hit 60fps with some adjustment on Linux.

It IS really amazing

Please look at this Wine graph showing a 4.18 increase

Wine is improving a lot recently, nice job! I'll try it later, and I'm already excited to the proton 4.18 release.

PS: Puns are farts in Portuguese (at least on Brazil), which make the text funnier...

HopFrog is removing Linux support from Forager and MacOS is not coming now either (updated)

I really don't care anymore, if a dev release a native version, it's appreciated, support them, if not, f*** it. If the game really interest you and run well on proton, just do a favour to yourself, buy.

I was a anti-wine-no-tux-no-bux guy, but as I see that proton runs great, native games runs better on proton, windows games runs as good as in windows. Proton is doing a very good job, it's what flatpak/snap/appimage wants to achieve, runs on any distro and it's "future proof".

If numbers matters, there's 6000 native games.

The only thing that I care is if the game that I want to play runs well on proton. I'm enjoying Doom a lot btw
