VR game Alien: Rogue Incursion releases late 2024

Not really much to go on. The trailer meaningless and it's coming to quest, which means that it'll be severely limited. Maybe it can get me hyped later, but today is not the day.

Fun to hear some insides. Very much looking forward to the expansion. Until then, I have the mammoth task of finishing the Space Exploration modpack.

Quoting: whizseNot sure why they link statically though. SDL still advises against doing so.
The article is not entirely clear, but since they're upstreaming code they added a function to it. Statically linking would prevent it from being accidentally replaced.

Quoting: PinguinoOh, fun, let me see how that looks like. Maybe I can learn a thing or two.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand nevermind.
Haha, sometimes it pays to be old. :grin:

Had a quick peek. Nothing too special or unexpected of course. Kind of fun to see a different style between parts of code. But I see no use for it other than preservation.

Fantasy city-builder Songs of Syx is approaching the end-game

Nice. If it's feature complete now, I should pick it up again. I left it a long while back because I couldn't really justify putting in all the time to figure it out when everything is still in motion.

Quoting: EhvisNow I should decide whether to reinstall with base Ubuntu or use Kubuntu. Choices, choices.
Personally I am going to reinstall with the base Ubuntu. I am excited to try out the new Gnome 46.
Kubuntu looked less interesting to me because it is using using Plasma 5 instead of the newer Plasma 6.
For me it's kind of weighing plusses and minuses. I seriously dislike the tabletification of the UI that Gnome is doing. KDE is more a proper desktop UI and a much better usage experience. On the other hand, Gnome is just technically better. Everything feels faster and I have way less issues with the compositor. I can't even count how many times KWin restarted itself over the year I used it.

Quoting: mrdeathjrin my case stay using around november and many things runs good

sadly lubuntu dont have lxqt 2.0 and kde dont have plasma 6, maybe appear for 24.10 around october

:smile:
KDE Neon should have you covered for that.

Nah, this was done to patch up a few things for the potential new public coming from the Amazon series.

Valve makes paid 'Advanced Access' a clear feature on Steam now

The one thing I like about this is that people that got FOMOed into spending money on "advanced access" can leave a review immediately. So now lots more people can see that the game is crap even before release!

Quoting: SolitaryOh, the game that added it a full year after release is removing it again? Oh yea... I am rushing to buy it now :neutral::neutral: what bad could come from this kind of company?
Buying? I think I have two free copies over various stores now.

Steam refunds get adjusted to account for pre-release playtime
24 Apr 2024 at 9:09 am UTC Likes: 4

I guess some people figured it out and refunded the games they finished in the three days of early access. I'm partly sad because publishers were really just letting people pay a bunch of money extra to not have their access delayed. Not fixing this hole would have killed that practice nicely.
