Obviously Cities:Skylines 2 is a mandatory purchase. :)

Quoting: sjr... no DKMS ...
Sounds negative in my ears. :D

I know what you mean, but DKMS made my Nvidia life so easy that I even keep forgetting about it.
Well, DKMS was a big improvement over having to build the drivers yourself. But even better is having them available in-tree, "built in".

Quoting: Liam DaweI actually had to turn it off, it made my PC freeze up hard with my NVIDIA GPU.
I recently helped my sister (technophobe) set up her first Linux machine. She has an AMD graphics card and... everything just worked. No PPAs, no DKMS, no installing drivers. Wonderful experience with the open source drivers.

I think my next video card will be from AMD.

Quoting: buenaventuraIs this free or what? I never figured that out. My kids undoubtedly will be happy about this.
Not free but totally worth the $20 or whatever.

It's time to begin your descent, as the six-degree-of-freedom shooter 'Overload' is now out

Spent a couple hours on this one so far. First thoughts:

  • FPS is kind of spotty. I have a Core i7 8700K @ 3.7GHz, 16Gb RAM, admittedly with a weak video card (NVIDIA GTX 760, driver version 396.24). Sometimes the game is smooth as silk, other times it seems to get down to ~10fps. Resolution is 1920x1200

  • Sometimes the mouse buttons are "stuck" on or off (e.g. weapon won't fire or won't stop firing). Hitting escape twice resets that



Other than that, it's a lot of fun.

I had no idea this existed, thank you for sharing! Do you mind feeding my kids? I'm afraid I have something else to do now. :-)

Quoting: ElectricPrismSo what's the general consensus?
Speaking for myself here... I love it. Totally worth the $15 or whatever it was on Steam. Works really well on Linux.
