Surviving Deponia might end up a nice game, but it's a totally different genre from the original series.

Didn't they shut down their development department?

Looks like they still have a small maintenance team, keeping themselves busy fixing bugs in older titles, like lack of Linux support. ;-)

I think I played this using WINE back in the day, before Proton was a thing. Nice to see Daedalic revisiting older titles!

When it comes to DNS servers, they're the lesser evil

You could try 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) instead of 8.8.8.8 (Google).

I also tried using SeaMonkey for a bit, but it just doesn't have the extension support that Chrome or even Firefox has.

Still using Netscape Mozilla SeaMonkey here; it still supports the original, non-Chrome style extensions it always has - which unfortunately is quite long in the tooth now. They've been taking baby steps towards supporting newer style extensions (I think dictionaries work now?), but development on it in general is quite slow, with very few active contributors.

I've been annoyed at Mozilla ever since they decided nothing matters but Firefox; they killed off XUL, spun off Thunderbird (twice!), and even stopped offering any infrastructure support for SeaMonkey. Their recent endeavors are things like Pocket, and ad-related stuff. :-/

Maybe just me, but I thought it was a pretty weak selection this month.

a herd that you build up as you go. Each of them acts like an extra life

So... you run your horse to death, then switch to the next one in the herd?

It seems like really bad naming for the "5070" and the "5070 Ti" to have such a huge gap in price/performance. Perhaps I am misremembering, but historically I thought the "Ti" versions came later, and were fairly small improvements at a similar price point (i.e. AMD has a new product launch in the middle of our cycle, and we want to compete more favorably).

I'd rather it not be Snap or .deb...

Those wouldn't be very useful when the target is Steam Deck support.

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.
