g000h: The extracted archive is 347 megs (rc3).

I will express my love for this game again. I barely play anything else anymore haha. If you guys want to get started playing online, I'm on the official test server (chrometech.at), contact me there and I'll help you find a nice spot to settle in.

Glad to read this! And thanks to the big donor that contributed so much a week back to help make sure this would get funded!

Sorting the mess of vendor specific lighting apps, OpenRGB has a new release

Saved me from going mad when I bought the cheapest available 3600 2 sticks 32gb G Skill kit last year. I didn't think that the RGB lights would be a problem, I thought they would be off by default, or that maybe they could be turned off in the bios. Wrong wrong wrong. It was a f*ing ultra bright rainbow changing color all the time. It would light up my entire room shinning through every vent in my case. Worse, it would even stay lit when the box went to sleep. It was just crazy. It took me a while to finally find OpenRGB, but now those leds are off and my sanity is back to normal.

The theme alone makes it worthwhile in my opinion. Kickstarted it without even trying the demo, but I did attend the first dev stream afterwards and he seems like a nice guy dedicated to his game. I really hope this gets funded!

Wilderness survival game 'Vintage Story' adding seasons, improved graphics

Quoting: TcheyI’m saying it everytime it pops on GoL, but Vintage Story is still the best of its kind.

Oh yes! I'm still totally addicted to this game too. Been spending way too much time on the official public test server haha.

Come tell us about what you've been gaming on Linux lately

Only new game since last time is Streets of Rage 4, works very well in proton and with remote steam play together. Otherwise still wasting most of my free time in Vintage Story.

AMD detail future plans for socket AM4 and Zen 3 compatibility, no Zen 3 for older chipsets

Ouch, that's a bummer. I have a B450 and was planning to swap my r5 2400g for a zen 3 r7 in order to have a long lasting computer. I might have to skip this generation and get zen 4 or zen 5 instead.

Streets of Rage 4 to be playable on Linux at release with Steam Play Proton

They're long, but manageable. It's about 20-30 seconds depending on the level (using a crucial m2 ssd, not nvme). Gives me time to chat a bit while it's loading.

Works marvellously well for me too through proton. It also works great through Remote Play Together. Been playing with my brother and he says he feels very little lag and that the visual quality is pretty good (streaming at 720p).

AMD's Q1 2020 financial report out - RDNA 2 and Zen 3 on track for this year

I bought a B450 with a 2400G a while ago. The Vega 11 GPU was impressive, I could even play older games like Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel at 3440x1440 smoothly. The only drawback was that stability with the iGPU seemed to be pure luck. Some updates it was fine, then a week after a new update would come out and it crashed all the time, then next update it was fine again, etc etc etc. I got tired of it and picked up a 1660 Ti for really cheap during the last black Friday. But it seems like stability with their latest GPUs are way better, so if RNDA2 really has that 50% power efficiency improvement, I'll probably ditch the 1660 Ti. But I have to say, like all NVidia GPUs I used in the past, the 1660 Ti so far has been rock solid and works incredibly well.
