QuoteI know how it is, you look at your list of games and think "I need something new!" and then you click around Steam, GOG, Humble, itch and more and end up going back to the safety of what you already know.

I usually have the opposite problem. I open up my library on Steam and I think "I don't know what to play first!" :-D

And this will be a nice list to have before doing nomination for GOTY 2019. :-D

Quoting: keanHow is the driver support? I am planning to upgrade my CPU and GPU (1600 and 1060) to a 3600/3600x and 5600XT. I had issues in the past with my RX 480, but never with the 1060. Would you recommend switching back to AMD?

The AMD GPU drivers are now part of the kernel, I'm running on AMD RX 590 and don't have any issue at all.

Quoting: BotonoskiI feel that Microsoft itself is growing closer and closer to straight up gutting Windows 10 and replacing the internals with some kinda Linux-Windows backward-compatible hybrid monstrosity, though that may just be my imagination/bizare-fantasy. If that were to happen I gotta wonder how long, if ever, would it take for devs to move away from the compatibility layer and go full native.

They started by creating a IoT OS that is using Linux kernel, so it's not a fantasy anymore.

This looks similar to Dungeon Keeper. Will be a nice addition to my wishlist :-)

Quoting: LeopardStadia means nothing for Linux since all of those games will have VLK renderers tailored specifially for AMDVLK with no intent to run them on desktop platforms which is dominated by Nvidia hardware. These games will be in the stores with D3D.

I think this situation is slowly changing after AMD started to officially support Open Source drivers.
I was a NVIDIA guy a few years back, but now I'm pretty happy with AMD Radeon RX 590 :-)

Quoting: DorritJust notice Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth works well on Proton, an underrated game in my opinion.

Never finished it, but I can recommend it to everyone. It has fantastic Lovecraftian atmosphere. I read every story from Lovecraft, so I know what I'm talking about. :-)

It will be nice to see same comparision with AMD graphics to compare how Open Source drivers are doing.

Quoting: TcheyI can't believe after all these years, no other game manage to catch the same feeling from Black & White.

Even the Black & White II failed in this.
