EU court upholds fine against Valve for geo-blocking

What is wrong with setting a price at a level that is affordable to people in a lower economic block / region.

Something that is available to everyone in the UK or France and Germany is only available to the wealthy in the Baltic states?

I thought the EU was a democracy?

Or am I reading this wrong..

Yep, think I read it wrong. :)

I think 70% to 80 of my Steam Library now works on Linux.

Any games out there that people are getting impatient for Valve to find a fix for??

(not including the anti cheat stuff here as I have pretty much given up on them)

What is the status of WLRoots with the proprietary Nvidia drivers?

Fedora always stuffs me up royally here.
Never worked out if it was a Fedora thing or a
WLRoots thing.

And No…
Nouveau Is not an option.

I like the simple interface that is a bit more contemporary then gnome and a bit more modern then Xfce.

Also get decent defaults for the theme for dark mode on a fresh install, unlike KDE. :)

Was very light on resources when I tried it on Solus, but not sure how this compares with Xfce.

If they make the switch to Elementary then it should run even better on old hardware. Could be interesting

83 of the top 100 most played Steam games work on Steam Deck

I thought people had been saying that Gary’s Mod was never going to be playable on Linux.

Guess that prediction was selling Valve short.

Still hoping that Elite Dangerous will get some work to make it Steam Deck compatible.

“ .. but at least I'm real…last I checked. “

I detect a theme here. Seems to me you are insistent on claiming your existence.

MicroProse now publishing Dying Breed a retro RTS like Command & Conquer

Maybe the Zombie’s should be diving for cover out of fear of the barrage of bullets
Just to prove they are intelligent. We can even dress them soldier uniform.

Question?

If MicroProse gets brought back from the dead, by another company
are they still MicroProse?

Or are they just another company posing as MicroPose,
waving the MicroPose banner to capture a loyal fan base,
and maybe, or maybe not getting access to past IP.

A meaningless flapping in the wind..

Is it just a name change that means nothing? Marketing?

The next edition of Tower Toppler, now with extra zombies.

Always felt like Tower Toppler would feel better if the mechanics and sound were brought closer to the Commodore 64 version of Nebulus. While dodging zombies might be cool, I feel that this would be taking the game in the opposite direction.

But sure if any programmers out there want to add zombies to Tower Toppler I put my hand in to evaluate it, and compare it to the original C64 game.

Tower Toppler cross with Dark Castle anyone?
Even though I am in the US, the fun thing about the 16bit era was all the European versions of games... so I always knew Tower Toppler as Nebulus! They had cooler names...
Nebulus french meaning seems to be flotation device of some kind.
Anyone speak French?

If each Tower is floating above the water then there has to be more weight under the water then above.
Submarine to undersea entrance of each tower, get past the zombies underwater before you make it to tower above sea.

There was more than one tower in the C64 game.

I think I am over thinking this.. :)
