Supraland is leaving GOG after less than a year, dev says sales were low

Same with releasing a Linux version. It's all worth so little for us that it's rather annoying to have to do the extra work all the time and carry that weight around.
Translation;

"We did all development and testing on one platfrom only and then to our surprise the 'release for other platforms' button resulted in buggy untested builds! those platforms must be horrible!"

By now the biggest warning flag a developer can give is "we will focus on windows for the initial release"

Between the name and the version numbering It took a embarrassing amount of time before I realized this wasn't an article about Ubuntu xD

Quoting: Purple Library Guy
Quoting: KohlyKohlI gave up on snaps. They look awful on a 4k monitor, are slow to start up, and take up way too much space.
I can dig the other stuff, but how on earth can they look any different?
For me it was a ppi issue, no way to tell it what ppi to use so menus etc turned out 4 times smaller than "native" apps.

As for the rest of the thread - why are people getting upset that Mint ( a Ubuntu fork / "sub distro" ) is choosing to do something differently that their "parent" distro? I mean that's the raison d'être of distro forks.. :|

Live and let live? if you don't like the decision the pick another distro - that the beauty of Linux, a cornucopia of choice

Glorious - been eyeing the ideapad 5 4700u for work, but the entire 5 line up is out of stock.

Wonder what it will cost though, in the ideadpad 3 configurator the "free dos" option is about -59€ which incidentally is also the price difference between the 4500u and 4700u :D

Quoting: The_Aquabatjust curious what sort of creature is that in the Vagrus video? is it a Troll or a Monster Frog?
Cant speak for what they intended it to be, but as a D&D player it looks like a slaad to me :)

Apparently I added this game to my wish list back in 2016, no idea why.. guess they had a pretty hype trailer back then?

This is the dark side of the steam wishlist, things tend to be forgotten there ^^

Quoting: dpanterI laughed a little upon hearing the news. Then I sighed as I realized this will inevitably cause problems in the coming years. Oh well.

Anyone think AMD learned something this time? :whistle:
Other than the used marked for B450 boards becoming a minefield I fail to see what problems this will cause.

Open-world action adventure 'Pine' where humans are not top of the food chain is now available

Seems like a game the kids would enjoy immensely, but what is the equivalent minimum requirement in terms of AMD cards?

Will test that for tonights gaming. (I hate having to reboot into that "other" system)
:)
It stopped working? been playing for the past 3 hours with no problems - granted I use 80 for TTL

Spendt the better part of yesterday troubleshooting this on the wow forums :) surprising how many Linux wow players there are.

But speaking of - the one thing that doesn't work for me with Lutrix in wow (classic) is the in game ticket system, it seems to want to load a webpage but instead just shows notting. Anyone have a fix for that?
