Switzerland?

The still image above reminds me of Geoff Crammond's Formula One Grand Prix, so a bit sad that it's more of an arcade racer. With F1 2017 basically broken on systems with newer glibc, I'm somewhat deprived of my simcade fix. art of rally was fun for a bit, but I really favor driving in circles on shorter circuits, preferably from a first person perspective.

Of all the DLC released so far, this is the one that I'm actually happy to get. Though not at any cost. I would not be surprised if this goes for 6.99, now that the price for the much "bigger" Flavor Packs has increased. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

The reason I'd love to have this is that I usually gravitate towards rulers highly skilled in Diplomacy. There's so much benefits from having friends (they are unable to join hostile factions, they prevent accumulation of stress, etc.) that playing as anything but a great diplomat almost feels like a chore. So events surrounding friends (and a bit less so, rivals) is something that'd bring more variety to my campaigns, while I'm not feeling inclined to start in Scandinavia or Spain. As for Royal Court, I don't quite feel like decorating my abode, and the events that unfold in the court are a bit lackluster and repetitive, IMO.

Though whether or not I'll get the new DLC at full price or later at a discount, I am looking forward to the 1.7 patch. It looks like they fixed and improved quite a few systems to make for a bit more interesting (late) game.

Nice. Though I am a bit torn on whether I should get it or not. Given how much fun I'm having with CK3, something that's same but different certainly has my interest. I just fear that together it could be too much fun.

At least from playing the demo a while back, I decided that this might not be my thing after all. I love books, I love reading, but with Roadwarden I found the writing overly verbose.

Maybe there's just a lot of exposition at the beginning and things will get better, or maybe it's a game more comfortably played on a tablet while sitting on the couch ... at any rate, what I've experienced so far made me wish it was a lot more concise and to the point.

Remember, things are often at their best, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to cut :-).

Quoting: ShmerlGood to see AMD GPU usage rising trend picking up again, now that GPU shortages and overpricing are over.

Yep. My Radeon Rx 6600 is on its way, and I bought it at MSRP. Still overpriced, I think, but I got tired of waiting and fearful of the next looming crisis. Regardless, it's a nice upgrade from a GTX 950 :-).

I think that looks fantastic.

However ... somehow I get a feeling that this comes a bit too close to the original in terms of characters and locations. Kinda like certain Hollywood sequels that try a bit too much to emulate the original, in a futile attempt to recapture that spirit, but inevitably fall flat.

But hey, Ron Gilbert must know what he's doing ... could also turn out great!

Pretty conservative Kernel choice, there. I had hoped they'd at least ship with 5.16. OTOH, it will be summer before the .1 release is out and I'll upgrade, and then it's not too long for the first HWE update to materialize. But still ...

Quoting: PenglingTell me about it! That's exactly why I haven't bought The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles yet.

The cutscenes in TGAAC can be made to work with some native DLLs, as per these instructions [External Link]. Using that workaround, I played start to finish with no issues.

Also, from following the Proton bug filed for the issue, it looks like the videos have been re-encoded and now work [External Link], save for the bonus content. Though I've not personally verified that.

Quoting: DenysMbIt kinda make me sad that everyone forget about openSUSE and it is such a great and solid distribution. 😢

Just the last two days I've been booting an openSUSE VM at work to do some database testing. So it's not forgotten! And I guess if I'm ever fed up with Ubuntu at home, it's either going to be Debian or openSUSE. Though without the original yast it's just not the same any more :-(.
