This has nothing to do with desktop users - MS want Edge to be used on CI servers running Selenium or Puppeteer, improving compatibility with future websites. Windows CI is a lot rarer than Linux CI and so few people tested Edge compatibility continuously - if there was attention paid, it was often late in development, and the bugs might have been overlooked. Firefox support in this area is better than edges, but it's not great either - Google develops new browser automation frameworks with a Chrome first approach and it shows.

By local multiplayer you mean LAN multiplayer and not split screen multiplayer, right?

I think Rocket League is using something similar. Unlearning to account for lag is... more challenging than one would expect, especially because if the lag gets too bad it results in undefined behaviour.

All in all, rollback networking gets a big no thanks from me for now.

This will be an interesting change. It really benefits DRM free stores like GOG - their users already could sell the game if they wanted(breaking the law in a hard to detect fashion), but usually didn't. Some publishers will definitely try to dodge the problems by going into microtransations, where the game is free, but the money is in small items tied to the account, although if this ruling stands, in game item trading might be next.

It's sad how honest people are much more vulnerable to being sniped for opinions because they speak them instead of removing any meaning by proxying their communication through lawyers. Stallman has had very controversial theoretical opinions that could be and were used against him, because he conducts his discussions under public scrutiny.

Interestingly, he has very recently changed his mind on damage caused by paedophilia: https://stallman.org/archives/2019-jul-oct.html#14_September_2019_(Sex_between_an_adult_and_a_child_is_wrong) [External Link]. And just as he was becoming a less controversial figure, Vice blew up in his face.

I've played the demo and it's basically Pokemon, in everything but name. Good game, and the demo is more complete than some released games - gives 2-4h of play depending on how quick and thorough you are

I'm looking forward to season 4, as I've just gotten everything from season 3 :D:D:D

Does __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command% make a difference on AMD GPUs?

There is alo the fact that currently Mesa uses NIR as an intermediate representation*. It's looking like in the future, Vulkan will be the most optimised graphics API GPUs support and making it the intermediate representation is quite appealing.

*Intermediate representation is a way of reducing combinations. Every piece of hardware is different and there are many graphical APIs. Trying to implement each on each would take a lot of effore and therefore Mesa developers have used an intermediate preresentation to reduce the problem's complexity from n*m to n+m.

Slay the spire works just fine for me in borderless fullscreen on Kubuntu 19.04.

Interestingly, on a friends windows laptop where I showed the game off, it didn't fit the screen properly and the "start" button was out of reach, preventing play. It worked fine on another windows computer though. Seems like the engine is relatively new and hasn't been given treatment to work around hardware quirks...

I thoroughly enjoy it, but I don't think the 4th character fits thematically... There are so many 3s in the game - cards have sets of 3, relics have sets of 3, there are 3 shards to collect before fighting the heart, there are up to 3 enemies at a time(reptomancer excluded)... I'm sure the creators can surprise us though.
