Currently playing The Witcher via Proton, planning on doing the whole trilogy.

OpenRazer 3.0.0 expands with many new Razer devices supported on Linux

Quoting: NezchanOpenRazer doesn't seem to pick up my Deathadder v2 at all, so Polychromatic has nothing to work with. Bit of a disappointment, really.
That's odd. I've got a DeathAdder V2 and it works well. Waiting for BlackWidow V3, though.

Aaaand, it's gone. [External Link] No suprise, they gained knowledge from the original decompiled executables, which is a no-go.

Last week I bought The Witcher 3 GOTY because it was on a massive sale. I played through the semi-native TW2 to remind myself of the story and I'm now playing TW3 through Steam Play. Works like a charm so far, apart from a few crashes that got solved by verifying the integrity of game cache - probably had some kind of a download problem somewhere.

Quoting: MayeulC
for those of you using Mesa, you should see "drastically improved memory usage" for versions of Mesa below 19
So, is it below as written, or above, as I previously thought?
When put into context with this article about Mesa 19 on Phoronix [External Link], I think might be right as written, that is, below, because the new also Mesa has a fix for memory problems with TF2.

Man, they're really pushing the original Source engine to the limit, aren't they?

System76 shared some more details to clear up some questions about their open hardware manufacturing

I think this is rather clever. Some things just need to be achieved gradually, instead of all at once. The gradual approach could be sort of a proof-of-concept that will show others that the open-source way is indeed viable for hardware, too. I like it.

This weekend I'm playing Cities: Skylines. I've been contemplating buying it for a long time and now a sale came on, was an insta-buy.

Does Bitwig Studio count as a game? Ok it doesn't but it's what I'm playing around with. And it's on Linux! :D

I remember watching my older brother play this some years ago when I was little... I never knew the name of the game and had no luck finding it for a long time. So this is double the great news for me! Thank you!
