It seems I was a bit pessimistic. ^_^
There are some crazy guys out there.

Sadly it's Steam only, it looks nice! :(

Good thing for the GNOME foundation!
I don't use GNOME at all (and even hate this DE) but we have to defend all Free Software against this bullshit, and so I'm happy they raised their goal to do that.

I'm less confident about the Everspace 2 campaign though, ~27K € in ~30 hours it's hard.

I smell Iron Maiden from here, the title is too close to their song "2 Minutes To Midnight"... :whistle:

Quoting: chancho_zombiedid you upgrade your hardware Liam? I though that you had a 980Ti.

No. Just check this video:

I don't use Blender, but some tests in this video are quite impressive, and I like a lot the conclusion of course because it can bring (with many other reasons) more people to Linux/Free software in the long term.

Reminds me of Night Call (sadly not available on Linux), but here it seems a bit different.

Quoting: subThey once said on Twitter that they port older games to the new engine.
I guess that'll happen. :/

Have you the source of this?

Quoting: jorge_aparicio14Would it be possible to connect the PS4 directly to the PC with an Ethernet cable and use this to stream directly from the console?

I don't think so, your PS4 needs to have an IP and if you do this it won't, except if your PC have a DHCP server too for example.
It needs that or a router between your PS4 and your PC, IMO, but maybe I'm wrong, and I can't test it out because I don't have a PS4.

Quoting: BotonoskiMy general rule is to not touch any used PC game that obviously requires Steam, in this particular case it wasn't as obvious as it usually is for me as all Steam reliant DVD games I bought prior had a Steam logo somewhere on the case, this one did not. I also tend to skim over system requirements on older PC games for perhaps obvious reasons, though I guess I oughta keep an eye on that now. I bought other 2K published games such as Bioshock and Borderlands 1 recently and those relied on SecuROM rather than Steam for DRM, so I wrongly assumed Borderlands 2 would be the same.

I think the store is ultimately at fault here, they did not inform me of the no return policy on PC games and refused to take the game back for store credit. The cashier I was talking to when trying to return the game was also the manager so... well, I'll have to take my complaints elsewhere. Though I'm not certain how much of a fuss I'm willing to stir over $8.

On the plus side on the same visit I also bought a copy of Witcher 2, and while the DRM servers for that were down I was able to redeem the CD key over at GOG. I was thinking of throwing out the now useless DVD to prevent it from re-entering the second hand market and then maybe filling it the case with a burnt copy of the GOG release.

You played the Russian roulette but with a full loaded gun.
Even if you don't see a Steam logo, there is none Borderlands 2 boxed edition without Steam, it doesn't exist.
You can check for example on pcgamingwiki.com for that stuff.
There are exceptions, but "98%" of PC games need Steam since many years, unfortunately.

And yes I have the Bioshock 1/2 DVD and The Witcher 2 DVD too, and some other games but that's not a lot, really.
But of course I'm not defending the store, it's either fraud or profound ignorance.
