aaah Rust... recoding everything in Rust, the hobby of the moment in the linux community (after redocing in ruby, in python, ...) XD

This one seems quite nice, will test it ^^

This game (and us) needs a gameplay video, even 10 minutes. Liam?

Playing 90% of my time on linux, 10% on win10, I was touched by steam for a survey 11 times in my life, 1 time on linux (and it was when I installed steam on my son's computer, not even on my own computer). So steam survey = faceplam, again few touches and it will be statistically significant as a biased process!

Very nice game, I spent 20h on it, good sounds, well balanced, nice gameplay when doing other non-engrossing activity (like eating, watching tv or series, transport) $
I just hope they will develop with more creatures, events, dungeons, heros (the centaur with his wipe is not enough for me)

Battle Axe has some awesome pixel-art with gameplay inspired by Gauntlet and Golden Axe

seems gorgeous, a mix between Diablo 2 (for the outdoor and gameplay), Gauntlet (gameplay), Golden Axe (lore) and Knights Of The Round (art style)

...reference to Knights Of The Round <3 that game was so addictive in the 90's

@Liam: Please add Unciv from yairn210 to major FOSS game in 2019
Unciv link to github [External Link]
civilization5 (with lesser graphics but FOSS and full rules)!
Mozilla Public License 2.0

Definitely the best FOSS game and surprise for 2019 for me! Me and my son of 14 are playing it since ~3 weeks. I'm thinking about proposing better graphics ('cause it's its only current weakness)

Thanks for your work again ;)

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's mission system in Operation Shattered Web is pretty good
20 Nov 2019 at 12:02 pm UTC

Quoting: gabberOnly at the 2nd last Paragraph is it stated:
Honestly, I hope we see a lot more of this. It's a shame these special co-op missions are limited for the Operation, keeping them in and gradually adding more to build up a big co-op campaign could really expand the possibilities of CS:GO. It's nice to see the Battle Pass is not required to play them though, only earn the extra rewards. A nice touch at least.
I also missed that information,... and so buy it :( my only fail as I lack of time (read diagonally
I'm a bit disappointed, the fact that you need a known-coop to do some missions (why not aggregating requests and mixed people to do it?) this "Looking to Play system" ...it is easy to use and where?

jungle map seems not to be worked, more random with a lot of inaccessible place while you think you can reach it through rocks...
studio map quite fun
I would love an 'invasion' mode like Deathmatch or arms race with waves of terro-bots or counter-bots rushing to us

is it FOSS? Would love to know what language, engine and approach they/He (LincRead? alone) used?

An interview would be cool Liam ^^

AMD announce their third-gen Threadripper processors and a 16 core flagship Ryzen 9

I will work on the last one 4 sure next year at work (writing from a 40 threads - 20 cores intel). Incredible (cheap 'n efficient) stuff to run maths and simulations (parallelized of course). From my point of view, not for gaming at home. But for working, dat rules. Would ease my life to work every days on the 128 threads without clearing funds of my lab :D

Edit: yeah, forgot to say that we have a tower with a threadripper 32 cores on debian: congruent with phoronix results, with the same number of cores and same frequency, it destroys time to compute same maths from a xeon intel of the same generation under debian (and those maths run faster on debian *near a factor 1.8* than under windows 10*)
