Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York shows off some gameplay, releasing December 4

Quoting: GuestWhat gameplay? It was just a bunch of dialogue... And what ever happened to making an actual VTMB game? (Not that I trust them not to completely fuck it up in the first place..)
Relax, you can dial it back a few notches. It's a visual novel so dialogue Is the gameplay. There still is a Bloodlines 2 coming, so you can get angry at that instead when it comes out. This one is not for you so you can ignore it.

Seriously, they go, "hmmm... Ordering stuff online. What if... Fresh vegetables! File patent, sue."

Quoting: SalvatosDid the Gnome people actually post the relevant patent and claim anywhere? Not that I don’t trust them per se, but out of principle I would like to see the documents before I consider donating to their lawsuit.
I did see the patent and the claim somewhere. The patent has to do with transferring photos between devices and filtering by tags.
vkBasalt, an open source Vulkan post processing layer for Contrast Adaptive Sharpening
22 Oct 2019 at 8:46 am UTC
Quoting: qptain NemoI don't care about sharpening but this is great, we need some post-processing injectors on Linux. I was actually just messing with the latest version of ReShade. It works in Wine (at least the opengl part) and it's really great.
Same. I've had some success using ReShade with Dragon's Dogma, although the installer does not work, I had to copy a bunch of files.

Installing and using vkBasalt actually was a lot simpler and seems way more performant. So I'm eager to see more filters, maybe some basic colour profile stuff next. That and perhaps a way to mess with it while it's running. For people who like to do screenarchery.

Pubic wars, those are the frickin' worst.

"No, YOU clogged up the drain!"

"No, you! I'm leaving!"

"Fine!!"

"Fine!!!"

Wonder if Feral's getting into the Stadia business while that's still a thing.
Vulkan support is not far away now for the flight sim X-Plane 11, physics & flight model updates coming

Quoting: iiari
Quoting: rustybroomhandleI shot them an email for access to the Vulkan alpha/beta.
Did you do that on your own or is there a open request for beta testers? I'd love to test the Vulkan beta as well...
It's explained in the video linked in the article. Only for their installer, not Steam yet.

Steam Play Proton 4.11-7 is out with more gamepad improvements and other misc fixes
11 Oct 2019 at 11:13 am UTC
Quoting: DesumTechnically speaking, what is stopping Proton from working on non-Linux systems? How much work would be involved getting it running on the BSDs or anything else?
It's probably quite doable. dxvk even works on Windows.
8-bit inspired, flip-screen, twin-stick-shooter 'Cecconoid' is out with Linux support

Weird thing is I was never a huge fan of these originally. Exolon, Cybernoid etc. never really clicked with me, and yet this trailer is really making me itch for this.
