Quoting: M@GOidThe price of this game is very high here in Brazil. How much it is in the US?
Currently $22.49 on Steam with a 10% discount, but there's no price listed on Humble yet. Google says that equates to 122.34 in Brazilian real. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know that's what your currency is called.
No need to be ashamed. I for one have no idea what is the currency of the majority of Brazil's neighbors...

Brazil is one of those countries where Valve do a price reduction relatively to the US Dollar conversion, because selling games at full price would drive people to piracy.
Region-specific prices are actually set by the developers/publishers themselves on a per country basis manually.

Missing out on VibranceGUI for Linux? There's a project for that and now a fork for AMD too

Actually let me get this out here. When someone makes visuals or sound, they usually test on a wide range of output equipment. But in reality if you put yours side by side with theirs, yours probably does not look the same. Truth is, no matter how much you calibrate, the results across multiple devices will never be exactly the same. So there's no canonical "correct" colour curve. Adjusting colour balance is perfectly fine.

It's even more diverse with audio since there's way more variety in speaker setups.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleIt exists for much the same reason you have an equalizer for tweaking sound.
To make it sound / look objectively worse? ;-)
Nothing objective about whether one thinks something looks better or worse, but sure if you want to you can make it look as terrible as you choose.

Quoting: WorMzyI guess you don't miss what you don't know about, but I don't see the point of this. Is it for helping people with colour-blindness?

Quoting: XpanderI don't really get why you would extra tool for that as nvidia-settings also provides those features. But having for both vendors in the same place is a good thing ofc.
True, but on the other hand this is open source, the UI looks way better and it has more of a chance to eventually have features the nvidia settings does not have, like saving multiple colour profiles per application and maybe different ways to adjust tones. And yeah, as you said, multiple vendor support. Intel too in future maybe?

I'd rather the world's internet bandwitdh not be hogged by this shite.

There's now over 6,000 Linux games on Steam plus thousands more playable with Steam Play Proton

Quoting: LungDragoep, the chances are good. It's a Stadia game. Also I was under the impression their engine uses Vulkan
If they're deploying on Stadia then they have to use Vulkan, so basically yeah.

@sheep guy

You are quite a hypocrite here, because you seem to have quite a negative reaction whenever you are called out for being an asshole. Maybe YOU need the safe space where you can be an asshole without being challenged.

When people disagree with you, you call them weak minded and whatever the hell else... YOU're the one with the problem here, not everyone else.

Anyway, I had you blocked for a reason.

Ah yeah, Valorant, another game we likely will not ever be able to run with Proton due to it using very low-level anticheat.
