Just for reference, I already own the Royal Edition of Pillars of Eternity. Is there any difference between that and the Definitive Edition?

Quoting: Samsai
Quoting: tonRLiam (or anyone). Is running Windows XP on virtualization software considered as dual boot? May need to run XP to use Nokia PC suite for set up old Nokia S40 phone.
I don't make the rules, but my opinion would be that day-to-day active virtualization should count as dual-boot but also you shouldn't count it as a dual-boot if you just briefly touch a Windows system. So if it's just a matter of setting up a phone and you aren't actually using that XP system for anything else, I wouldn't count it.
Especially since this is a gaming oriented survey and you are not using the VM for gaming.

I actually needed the reminder to change my hardware information for once. So thanks. :wink:

Now we just need an updated release of Rune. One can dream. :happy:

A look at the Penumbra Collection on Linux with Mesa in 2020

So on a whim I decided to try launching Requiem on the Fedora 31 partition I installed last fall to play around with GNOME and Wayland and I was, at long last, actually able to play through the entire expansion without a single crash. I am also not seeing any crashes with Overture and Black Plague when playing the games on Fedora as opposed to with Arch now. Which is strange, as I can remember testing the games on Fedora before I wrote this article.

All I can think of is that I have changed my graphics card since then?

A weekend round-up: tell us what play button you've been clicking recently

I got stuck trying to find all the secrets on Abaddon's Void in SIGIL. I already know or spoiled all the secrets in the original Ultimate Doom episodes so I want to be able to find them all properly in SIGIL like I did last December when I was playing through No Rest For The Living.

It annoys me how many of the Doom levels have unreachable secret sectors though. Especially in Thy Flesh Consumed.
