NVIDIA 384.47 beta driver released, includes a fix for newer Feral titles
1 Jul 2017 at 7:45 pm UTC

I get a weird line while watching Youtube on Chrome. I suppose this is screen tearing? I wonder if this driver might fix that? My system is still on kernel 4.8 something. Maybe if I get the latest kernel and this new driver my performance will improve.

Liam,

Can we get a permanent link at the top of GoL for this site? I had to dig thru the articles to remember the name for it.

I see this term used quite a bit on this site, and I don't know what it means.

What is 'Roguelike'? Is that just a term for a top down view style game?

Open source game engine for Morrowind 'OpenMW' to gain 'Distant terrain' in the next release

Naw, Morrowind was great for its time. It was indeed daunting. Enchanting something? Pffff. Good luck. There are cheese-tacular ways to bump your enchanting skill to 500 with the Tribunal expansion, but good luck using the skill as intended. You will burn thru a lot of hard to come by soul gems to no avail. I love the game to bits, but the attack system blows chunks compared to later Elder Scrolls games. But the spells! All the tasty spells EVAR!!!!! Levitation, Mark and Recall, teleportation around the forts of the island. It was wonderful. Everyone loves Skyrim, but I hated it for its lack of spell selection. I was mad enough at Oblivion for taking away levitation and mark and recall.

Just bought a game that looks like it might be pretty cool. Satellite Reign. Gonna give it a try later. Got it from GOG.

I find myself bobbing back and forth between the wiki and the game. It's not hard to play, and any specifics that you need answered can be found on the wiki.

This game has a lot of negative reviews on GOG. Is it really worth my $$$?
