I'm no good at top-down vehicle driving, but it's certainly a fun and unique concept!

I used to dabble with Blender some years ago, but haven't had time to touch it for a while, until I saw some preview videos about the 2.80 changes, and wow—I was blown away by the quality and amount of things that have been improved. (I don't know why they didn't just call it Blender 3.0. :)) But seriously, if you or anyone you know has been thinking about getting into Blender, now is the time to do it: it's been made so much more newbie-friendly. I hope to get some time to look into it again myself and see how the changes feel in practice…

So I finally got around to upgrading to Buster this weekend, and found that the version of the Linux kernel in Buster (or at least the version I got, 4.19.0-5) has a known issue with Steam where it doesn't connect: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/6326#issuecomment-506124600 [External Link]. (Or at least doesn't connect consistently, some people reporting it just suddenly working after restarting Steam a few times.) The thread doesn't seem to have a consistent fix, but it does list some options and I found that adding -tcp to my Steam start-up command seems to fix it for me.

Interactive Recommender sounds interesting. Finally, putting machine learning towards something useful! :wink:

Well, it runs at a reasonable framerate now, instead of the ~9–10 FPS I was getting with Proton before, but yeah…it's really, really Early Access. No tooltips, no way to scroll the map without using WASD, a maximum zoom -out level that could work as a minimum…I like the idea so I picked it up to support the developers, and I'm hopeful (and optimistic) that they can improve it a lot, but for now, I'd say check back on it in 6 months or so.

Ha ha! Pun not consciously intended when I wrote it, but I like it! :)

Quoting: SalvatosI don't think any deliberate action on our part will be large enough to have a meaningful impact, to be honest.

Yeah, you're probably right, I know. A man can dream… :(

Minecraft meets OpenTTD. I suspect I and a friend will get a lot of mileage out of this. :D

Guys! Guys! This is a golden opportunity. :)

Just think about it: statistically, the people who misunderstood and have removed all but three things from their wishlists are likely to be spread over Windows, Max, and Linux roughly in proportion to the number of users each has—which means it's going to be mostly Windows users who have removed things from their wishlist. But what if we Linux users started wishlisting more games instead? Now that there's that breakdown showing developers how many people on each platform have wishlisted something, the percentage of Linux might shoot up a bit. Might be the perfect time to give developers an nudge about "hey, we'd like to play your games on Linux, maybe?". :wink:

Though from an ethical and pragmatic point of view, obviously only add something if it's something you're genuinely possibly interested in actually getting—inflating our percentage of interest shown will only pay off if we actually follow through on it, of course! :)

Looks interesting! I love that stylized art style. The robots kinda look like something from WALL•E…:D
