Great project indeed, its development is so fast! Sad that VCMI don't get the same attention though.

Try F4.
Or for SDL2 you can stretch the window itself.
Also, try to prefer not extremely high resolution. Simple HD would be enough even for large screens.

I think he was thinking like play in full screen in 1920*1080 for example but I may be wrong, I tested it and I agree with him.
But I didn't test another resolution to see if it's better...

Humble Bundle replacing purchase sliders with less generous options
24 April 2021 at 5:56 pm UTC Likes: 2

Guys, I hear you but precisely the "charity/sliders" thing was the only appealing one about Humble Bundle.
Now they partially killed it, they have nothing to offer better of other stores.
It seems their behavior is simple hypocrisy for me, other stores don't do that, but Humble Bundle pretend to help charity and by doing this pretend to be better than the others...
But in the end, it's just a capitalist structure that behave exactly like the others.
In the end they don't trust the customers to choose carefully the amount of money they give, we give.
We can't choose anymore, put a minimum amount of money for them is a thing, but to forbid increase the amount of our choice is another...
It's like GOG could have some "light DRM" because they suspect their customers to share the games they bought etc... It would be unforgivable.

The only thing I care right now about this news, is how it could impact GOL and Liam, but I don't know if a lot of money or not comes from Humble Bundle. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think it's a lot.

I didn't buy anything on Humble for a long time, and I'm pretty sure I won't in the future.
I hope a lot of people will simply boycott them...

Yeah, sure!

Quoting: CyrilCan anyone can confirm the French is also included in the GOG releases?
Should be, the downloads are up to date.

Yes, but I admit it triggered me at "(beta)" and thought about the Beta system on Steam...
But I can't see mention of it in their update, so yeah it should be there!

Linux Kernel dev bans University of Minnesota for sending malicious patches

Just WTF. It's not funny, I can't see this as a serious work of research, it's just plain stupid.
What did they thought? That the Kernel is widely open to everyone who can write anything without verification?
