System76 releases the open source Launch Configurable Keyboard
14 May 2021 at 9:42 am UTC

It certainly looks cool, but I really need a full layout with number pad and the arrow keys/insert-home-delete-end/etc. block. Of course, my Corsair mechanical keyboard from 2014 is still going strong and showing no signs of stopping, so I can't really justify getting a new one anyway. :smile: Still, hopefully this is just the first iteration of a new development for System76.

Portal Stories: Mel lands Vulkan support with DXVK in the latest stable update
29 Apr 2021 at 8:53 am UTC

I was just thinking recently of going back and trying this again; I didn't enjoy it enough to finish it when it released, but maybe now that I'm older and (hopefully) wiser I'll see it differently. Could be interesting to try it with Vulkan, too.

Nice art style. Incidentally, this:

Suddenly made me want a game about a hummingbird: hover in place, fly sideways, backwards, even upside down! :grin:
I guess it'd be kinda like a 6DOF game in a way.

Apogee? …now there's a name I've not heard in a long, long time. I had to go look it up, but 20 years ago I used to play their edutainment games Word Rescue and Math Rescue.

Quoting: Ehvis
Quoting: scaineEdit to note that this game looks like one that Ehvis will enjoy - massive manufacturing, research trees, building at scale. I feel a spreadsheet coming on!!
Some TTD with a hint of Factorio. But ..... time! Only 24 hours in a day. And 7 days in a week. Anybody available to do my day job for me? :tongue:
Don't look at me, I've got a thesis to finish writing! :tongue:

Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax! Funnily enough I was just randomly reading about The Frogs (the Aristophanes play alluded to) a few weeks ago on Wikipedia. Looks like a pretty amusing game. :smile:

I've been waiting for this release on Steam since, like, 2019 or so (yes, I know it's been available elsewhere but I and a friend have been waiting for the Steam release for Steam's easy multiplayer abilities). :woot:

Also, what is it with games releasing on April 15th? There's this, Stellaris: Nemesis, Rain On Your Parade—you guys all seriously couldn't have released two weeks earlier so I could have played you over Easter Break‽ :cry:
