I'd rather it not be Snap or .deb...
Those wouldn't be very useful when the target is Steam Deck support.

Intel 'very committed' to their discrete graphics cards, Core Ultra 200HX and H Series CPUs announced

There have been rumors that due to their financial woes, they wouldn't sink any more R&D into the discrete GPUs; "very committed" may or may not mean much for development beyond current tech. It's good for us consumers to have another competitor, I just hope they can be a worthy one long enough to matter.

They can integrate GPU and CPU design
They have been at that game since before AMD bought ATI; it doesn't mean they are all that great at it.

Edit: that is to say, they are *very* good at their target market - providing integrated graphics for cheap home/office systems, so that the expense of a discrete graphics card is not required.

Firaxis reveal Sid Meier's Civilization VII system requirements for Linux

I guess you can't reply/quote other posts any more? Part of the new UK restrictions? Anyway... it does look pretty sharp, but I think I'll wait for some of the additional content to come out and the price to go down a bit. I'm definitely glad to see a continued commitment to Linux support; if nothing else, it gives us something to compare/contrast the Proton support with.

Edit: Yeah, I see there's more info on the mandated enshittification:

Quoting: scaineI seem to remember that the Mass Effect trilogy/remaster was gigantic too, before I un-installed it.
To be fair, that *is* three games. ;-)

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH comes to PC on January 23, 2025 - it's getting optimised for Steam Deck
14 Dec 2024 at 6:21 am UTC

I'm a little confused / didn't follow what was happening very well. Do I have it right that they are remastering the original Final Fantasy VII, but it's getting split into 3 parts, and this is the second of the three? Or is the remaster complete, and this is a new continuation of the original story?

I know the original VII was highly regarded as one of the best (never played much of the series except for X myself; too many games and too little time), but it seems like they are milking it quite a bit?

Not sure it's my kind of game, but I love the journey of the "nut" in their trailer.

Quoting: psycho_driverGOG is having me do like 20 Captchas
Glad it wasn't just me... GOG must be getting hit with bots to have ramped it up so much.
