Arch vs Debian. Gnome vs KDE. X11 vs Wayland. Urgh. Astonished that a 1% community feels the need to half, or even quarter its community to get one over on the other side. Really frustrating.

Glad I was sitting down when I read this. MS buy DoubleFine, promise, promise, promise... delayed. I guarantee this will be We Happy Few all over again.

I hate being so cynical, but MS will never change.

Some absolutely fine bad-assery at 6m 46s [External Link], Liam. Awesome work!

The movement speed feels a bit slow and I'm not a fan of 3rd person... and yet... this looks pretty fun! Enemy variety is an issue, I suppose, but you don't play an Aliens game for enemy variety, and even there, they've added some classifications in to keep it fresh.

Might go for this, to be honest. Even if they lumber it with anti-cheat (like similar co-op game, Vermintude), hopefully we'll have a fix for that later this year or early next anyway. And it just looks fun!

Loved this game, but I haven't played it much since around March time. I think I'll dust it off for this big update though.

The quality of the environments, the animations, the sound design - this whole project just oozes quality. Absolutely superb.

Quoting: Eike

major change for save files

Anyone knows what this is about? Did they auto-adjust casing? :D

Basically just what Liam points out in the article, I think:

It's supposed to fix the Steam cloud sync feature

It's not a bug I've come across, but "losing your save" is probably quite a high priority bug to address.

Elite Dangerous is now playable without workarounds?? If true, that's a huge amount of .Net work that's happened behind the scenes - their launcher is an absolute abomination and a constant source of pain.

Just gonna leave this here if you're on an Ubuntu derivative, cos I didn't see anything on Polychromatic's github issues page on this.

First, for Razer's to be detected, you need the OpenRazer stuff installed... and it's not, by default. Which is weird, because right now, Polychromatic ONLY supports OpenRazer, so a bit bizarre that it's not a dependency. I guess Liam calls that out in the changelog above, but I missed it, so others might too!

sudo apt install openrazer-meta

But annoyingly, you also have to make sure that your user is a member of the plugdev group. Admittedly, this is really obvious on the OpenRazer website, but since I just did the command above after a brief "apt search", I didn't visit that site until it still failed to work properly. So...

sudo gpasswd -a $USER plugdev

Then reboot. Should be all good after that.

Well, it's taken two and a half years of boycot, but I suppose I get to play Bloodstained, after they officially cancelled Linux support.

I already own three of the rest too, but some decent titles in this month, so I reckon I'll be cashing in instead of skipping.

I'm not a big dating-sim fan, but the combat in this looks so satisfying, I think I'm going to give it a go.
