Dota 2 gets a nice performance improvement with the Vulkan renderer

i wonder if it can capture the mouse cursor nowadays; i played for years without issues but sometime last year or 2020 even,no matter what wm or renderer, the cursor was not catched and left the dota 2 client to the side displays; had to switch to single monitor to play. annoying

You can now order a PC case that looks like the classic Commodore 64

for me it seems like at least 80 € to much; what are they thinking they offer?

If memory serves, it was ported to Linux for one of the older Humble Indie Bundles. Humble do have a Linux version and for whatever reason (possibly contracts) Frozenbyte never put the Linux build on Steam. This happened for other games too.

Quoting: CreakScarcity and property are still relevant, even in the virtual world. Not as much as in the physical world, but it is still a thing.

The blockchain is exactly about that actually: how to bring scarcity and property in a virtual world. Examples: you need to exchange money but don't want anyone to copy it at will; or you want diploma to be owned by one and only one person => you store that in a virtual ledger: the blockchain.
Exactly. Some people just need to get rid of the idea that physical things in themselves often just are worth anything. Money itself isn't worth much. It's just generated out of nothing.
I defended the Artifact idea already in another news. There is something to collect,thats it. No matter if its stickers or virtual articles. However its more exciting bringing these real items to a friend or a convention. U can technically copy virtual items in 100 years with ease. But some products will never be made again. like He-Man action figures or some exclusive Cards.
In addition i think that everythings on the computer screeen should be worth less than real life. Everything people do online is potentially anti social. And thats not good change.
