Maybe they mean they now have and extra $5000 in the back of their heads.

Nier: Automata (Japanese: ニーア オートマタ Hepburn: Nīa Ōtomata?, stylized as NieR:Automata)
And is a squenix game.
Well, if I apply my wishful thinking here, if you read "made to wade" out loud as "made to aid", then it does fit N:A, because you play an android with robots that assist you.

Looks Shogun-y. Which is great - I would love to play that game again, although in my case it does not mean any new sales for Feral. Perhaps I'll check to see if I missed any DLCs.

Secretly I am hoping they use their Squeeeeenix connection and port Nier: Automata. We don't have many (any?) open world brawlers, and that one has been very well received.

As for the clue. Japanese tea company logo, and text that can be read out loud as "made to aid" or "maid to aid". Uhm, dunno where to go from that.

Would love to point my Blender renders at those CUDA cores. Yummy.

F1 2016 won't be coming to Linux, as sales of F1 2015 weren't strong enough

Some notes and benchmarks about a performance regression in Mad Max's OpenGL rendering

Quoting: Anza
Quoting: rustybroomhandleI am running Manjaro and have noticed on kernel 4.9 this game stutters terribly, with frame rate wildly fluctuating. I booted up with kernel 4.5 and all of a sudden it's smoother than suppository dipped in Vaseline.
I also noticed that performance got lot worse with 4.9 kernel. After digging little deeper I noticed that threads were moving between cores quite frequently. So far htop has been best tool for debugging this as it shows which core thread uses and even shows threads by default.

I made a script that locks threads to dedicated cores and that helped quite a lot. Vulkan is now pretty smooth nearly all the time.

I uploaded the script to GitHub: https://github.com/anzah1/task-affinity-balancer [External Link]
Cool beans. Will give it a shot.

Editorial: On paying for Linux games when you already have a Windows version

Guys/gals ... it's not an all or nothing question.

Of course nobody wants to re-buy all their games again on Linux if they already have them on Windows and in 99% of cases developers don't expect you to, but in some cases it makes more sense for the porter to do that, as with the stated example "Arma: Cold War Assault".

Anyhoo, I'm done.
