And in September it is going to be 20 years for Steam overall.

Quoting: Arehandoro

Quoting: Solitary... be it for it's serious yakuza story...

That's a bit of a stretch. It's an idealized view of the gangster, still protrayed as someone that wants to do good in society, albeit through doubtful morals, with little criticising of the society that forces people into this kind of organizations.

But yes, the game is good, and it's definitely very much a love or hate relationship with it.

I meant serious, as in - taken seriously - even though heavily romanticized. The issues touched on are quite heavy and real (corruption, murder, torture, betrayal... and friendship).

All that in comparison to side quests which are exact polar opposite, very light-hearted and touching stories. So much heart in these games. Pocket Circuit Fighter FTW!

I'll admit something to you: I've not actually played any of the Yakuza / Like a Dragon games. Am I missing something big here?

Yes, yes you are... but it is kinda love it or hate it don't get it, type of deal. I think everyone will tell you, just try Yakuza 0 and see for yourself. The start of the game is bit slow (like few hours slow), but once the game presents itself and opens up, you are left with a game that will keep you hooked for it's entire duration, be it for it's serious yakuza story, for it's whacky side quests, interesting characters, for it's constantly fresh, new and unexpected gameplay, full and rich open-world or just simply fun combat.

Ah, this github project used to be called world-of-might-and-magic. It was somewhat dead-ish, so if it's actually picking up again than that's great. The fact that there is still no proper open source implementation is sad. I replay these games every 3 years or so... love the lore and gameplay. Probably my favorite RPGs of all time.

Quoting: mphuZDeckard? :whistle:

No, more likely just diving goggles. Look at the wetsuits hanging behind it. He is on a yacht.

Quoting: rustybroomhandle

Quoting: subHope it supports cross-platform cloud saves.

Such a great game!

If you mean Windows-Linux then can confirm yes.

Actually, I started playing the Linux Beta on my desktop, and wanted to continue on Deck, but I installed the Proton version by default and the cloud saves wouldn't sync up. It just kept throwing errors. Once I realized that I installed the Windows version on my Deck, I reinstalled it to use Linux version and the cloud saves finally synced. So I think Linux->Windows saves don't work (maybe it's more about different versions rather than the platform difference)... not that it matters much, but it is good to know and beware.

What's with the gatekeeping? So basically what they are saying they don't want EAC to support any other platforms but Windows, so they won't use it and hope Proton/Linux to fail... so it doesn't take away from EAC Windows resources. What a twisted logic.

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: Solitary

Quoting: scaineHow quickly do Fedora update this stuff?

Usually rather quickly. You can see that Mesa 22.1 already has packages made and currently considered as update-candidate.

So how does it work on Fedora? Are those just official packages, updated that quickly? Or is there an equivalent to a PPA that you have to opt into to get updates that fast? I remember back in the early Ubuntu days, you had to opt into backports to get the good stuff, which was just a tick box in your package manager. Is it like that? Or is this just the standard update cycle for Fedora?

What you are looking at are official packages. There is also Koji for rpmfusion packages. For certain core packages Fedora is indeed quick, but for example Fedora 35 doesnt have Mesa 22 (yet? or ever? not sure). Fedora also has rolling kernel, so that's also usually pretty fast and new. Fedora does have user repos (checkout Fedora Copr), but as far as I am concerned those tend to be used for either obscure or officially poorly supported (old packages in main repos) or really bleeding edge stuff (you want Mesa 22.1 two weeks earlier). And I feel people don't tend to use them as much. In comparison to constatntly hearing about PPA, this tends to be more lowkey niche.

Obviously any QA issues will slow down the package. If this Mesa build will be deemed bad then next one will be created and go through another QA. Then the tag will change into either update-testing (user needs to have testing repos enabled) or update (proper).

Quoting: TheRiddick

Quoting: SolitaryYou are forgetting entire EU, nearly 500M people. So... not so limited launch.

If it don't include Australia and New Zealand then its very limited afaic. :p

Stop making up places, next time you will try to convince me that Japan is also real and not just place from anime.
