Quoting: denyasisOf course. Once a kid figured out the parent's PIN, gets a hold of their phone, our gets their own credit card, it's all over. I can't think of any system that can cover that without brining a huge number of privacy issues.

I think that the problem of this applications is that there ins't a defined standard that instructs them on which are the minimum payment security measures that would made them kids friendly (in other words: the application should state somewhere that it could only be used by children with the continuous supervision of an adult). By the way: I don't imply that a state is sole responsible of such regulation, streaming platforms can create and define an foundation that regulates them.

I'm not sure why the possibility of a written regulation arises so much hate against a law that is yet to be written. Regulations is what defines our currents societies, the fact that we have a law/a set of written rules that gives a standard of how to behave is something we have adopted since centuries. IMO we can have a valid discussion about _liberty_ when the new regulation is written, because it's only then when we can understand if the regulation will end up removing the liberties of others.

Quoting: fagnerlnAh, and talking about drugs, I bet that mostly of you in the comments support the "free drugs" movement. "People are free to use any drug they want, because they 'own' yourselves, but gambling, nah, please government, save them", ironic

Bad example. The legalization is not about legalizing all the drugs, it's just for a very specific set of them. Drugs are complex item and can be very harmful on inexperienced hands, so that's why not every drug can be managed by everyone. In the same line, we can expect that kids will have bigger problems than adults in order to handle gambling techniques.

Quoting: YoRHa-2B

Quoting: SpykerWell, if it has no visual impact on the game, using half-precision AO should be considered as an optimisation, right ?

I don't disagree and it's one of those little things that you can get with an official Linux port but not when running the Windows version through Proton. Another example of this is Rise of the Tomb Raider where Feral changed the shadow map fromat from D16 to D32 because D16 used to be slow/broken on RADV (and AMD actually recommends you use D32 over D16 anyway, even if it needs more memory).

AO has some problems with RadeonSI and Unity, could this change also be a workaround? (I know it's RADV in this case, but maybe there is a low level relation). https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/issues/1345 [External Link]

Finally! I'll buy it on Feral Store too, worth the effort!

YES!

On Mesa drivers (more specifically, with RadeonSI) the game generates artifacts due to Unity ambient occlusion. Fortunately there is a workaround: AMD_DEBUG=nodcc %command%

Runs really well on my system, 45-60 fps.

Quoting: chancho_zombiedid you upgrade your hardware Liam? I though that you had a 980Ti.

NVIDIA provided us with a new GPU: https://twitter.com/gamingonlinux/status/1178679069849870336 [External Link]

<TrollOn>
You can no longer criticize them, Nvidia bought you!
<TrollOff/>

:P

I agree, Liam sold out! Anyway, at least he did it for the highest available bribe.

If I were you Liam, I would start complaining about my cpu... just saying :P

As I said, this really looks like a mix between Fable and Overlord. Now, where did I put my credit card...

Quoting: XpanderMeh :( i was hoping for 5800 or 5900

I dont get the numbering, Navi 10 is higher end and Navi 14 is weaker, what?

That's pretty much normal. Newer chips gets bigger numbers. And this isn't just an AMD thing, Nvidia does the same:

RTX 2080 TI chip --> https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/nvidia-tu102.g813 [External Link]
RTX 2060 chip --> https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/nvidia-tu106.g875 [External Link]

Wish I could pledge for more than just the standard version, but the economic situation of my country doesn't allows me to go any further (kickstarters campaigns are of high risk for Argentinian people XD). Anyway, good to know that my name will be present in the game credits :P
