Quoting: soulsourceI'm still sad that the English translation "Longstockings" has such a cumbersome word-melody. As an Austrian I grew up with the German version, "Langstrumpf", which is pretty close to the Swedish original "Långstrump", both having a much smoother sound to them.

I had the same experience with the Dutch translation, which is "Langkous". Which has a very different sound to the second half, but it's still a two syllable word which flows nicely. (note that the ou sounds close to the o in "now")

There are tons of point and clicks that made it onto Linux. I'm now playing the new "Irony Curtain" one, which is fantastic. Also don't forget that there is a remaster of the classic "Day of the Tentancle". There's also a remaster of the old Full Throttle, but that one didn't really appeal to me.

As for this game, it doesn't really look like it is the best one, but for the price I may actually give it a go.

Quoting: EhvisAnd AMD is doing the same thing. They open the trivial stuff, but keep other things they think are important. Like the actual shader compiler of the AMD driver.

They are companies, they do what suits them. AMD is no more ethical than NVidia is.

They might do what "suits them", but when it's anti-competitive junk, I don't get why Linux users jump to whitewash it.

Because if the roles were reversed and nvidia would be playing catch up, AMD would be no different. It's simple business. The only thing that matters is that it is preferable to have open support for hardware. Which is a bandwagon I will step on when support is complete. Unfortunately, things open source can also take a lot of time.

Quoting: GuestNot really, but it seems like it does have quite a few disadvantages.

What kind? The only reason Nvidia is not opening their driver is anti-competitive. I.e. they want leverage over server market. Are you whitewashing such kind of behavior? What Nvidia doing is disgusting, and not something Linux users should be accepting.

Quoting: omer666To be fair, Quake had an awesome modding community which gave birth to both Capture the Flag and class-based TDM, but Valve had the idea to actually support this community by distributing a great number of them.

Wasn't the Quake modding community just a continuation of the Doom one? Even the first Doom had support for PWADs, which was basically id software enabling modding support from the start.

Those shader cache downloads were getting slightly silly. Borderlands 2 on proton generated 400 MB downloads. Good to have them look at the sizes.

Some of this looks so much like Zelda that I wonder if they might get in trouble for it.

Quoting: g000hSeeing as they're using Titanium (Ti) for their high end cards, maybe Strontium (Sr) would have been a good name for these souped-up ones.

Maybe that's exactly what they did. SupeR.

Quoting: lordgaultSlightly overclocking to justify high prices. That's all.

Wrong.

Quoting: EhvisThere is at least one crash report for nvidia for Borderlands 2. But that one crashes so quickly with so little vram usage, that I highly doubt it's related to fragmentation.

I haven't tried v0.13 yet, but with the previous version Borderlands 2 crashes for me as soon as I load the latest saved game and it consumes 2 GB of VRAM.

Something like that, but that's only a fraction of my vram.
