I've actually been playing this game since this weekend. Having a lot of fun with it. Also interesting to see that the dev put in a lot of mod examples.

Quoting: MayeulCThe layout is not column-aligned (ortholinear or ergodox-like). I'll pass, I have enough typewriter keyboards :)
Quoting: MayeulC...to esdf instead of wasd/zqsd...
So what you're saying is that you don't want a physical typewriter key positions, but you still want the typewriter layout. :tongue:

Fallout 3 removes Games for Windows Live, works well on Linux with Proton

Quoting: slaapliedjeI believe they have stated in the past that if they ever went away, they would basically flip a switch and let people download their game collection with the steam requirement removed.
That may be the intention, but that only really applies if they decided to stop with Steam, which is very unlikely. It would be a whole different ballgame if they went bankrupt (also not too likely at this point) because then the user base would be the primary source of value and likely be sold as an asset.

Have you ever heard of anyone who ate bread and did not die later? Me neither! It's a huge conspiracy, bro! :dizzy:
Me! I have eaten bread. I even drank water! And see, I didn't die later!

Warp Frontier will be releasing for Linux (and macOS) in November following the Windows release in late September
Are you sure about that?
That's what it says on the Steam page. Expecting the world to end this month?

GOG removes HITMAN after customer backlash over online features

Quoting: x_wingSo they remove this game because it requires an online connection to play some missions but they will still have other games that you can only play multiplayer if and only if you have galaxy client. They can apologize all what they want but this smells more like a PR damage control.
For what I gather IO was blocking single player modes with online due to the modes having leaderboards.
There are plenty of games (also on gog) that have daily challenges with leaderboards that only work with an online connection. The only difference is that you can apparently earn starting costumes and items for the normal game with that. Not entirely sure because I never cared about those things. It does seem a bit overblown to me, but everybody knows how crazy people can get for simple things like cosmetic items.

Very much looking forward to this one!

Don't actually have time for it, so something else will have to suffer :)

NVIDIA Vulkan Beta Driver 470.62.05 rolls out for Linux
8 Oct 2021 at 9:19 am UTC

Quoting: fearnflavioHave someone tested it to check if it fixes the Gsync/Freesync issue that the stable driver has?
Did the Vulkan beta have this issue to begin with?

On the nvidia forums it was mentioned that the fix will be in the next release, but it may just be the stable driver.

I'm still not sure if gsync is actually affected since all reports seem to have come from freesync (gsync compatible) users.

A refreshing change to see that when there is a big data breach, it's actually the company's own data instead of that of the users that gets stolen.
