Quoting: tmtvlWith two browsers (Falkon and Firefox) open, while on other tags I have Konsole, Emacs, Okular, Kontact, Cantata, Steam, and Discord running I'm using 5661M RAM. While of course 16GB is always nice to have, it's not too much of a problem to make 8 work.
As long as you don't want to play games as well, sure.
But in your scenario, a hell of a lot of games, especially those requiring lots of heavy assets, wouldn't even run unless you close half your programs so that they get at least 4 GB.

It's odd how long it has taken already for someone to pick up the formula, isn't it?

This reminds me of how the word "salami" got filtered in C&C: Generals.
To this day, I don't understand why.

This makes me really glad I decided to use Godot for my side and future projects...

Can't trust a project or company once public trading is involved, as now the primary goal becomes profit, profit, profit. At all costs.

Their trailer shows either strong lag or framerate drops.
Not the best choice to show off gameplay.

@Ehvis damn, beat me to it.

Quoting: Luke_NukemOh shit, so that *was* an issue! I thought I was going mad.
That could still be the case. For instance, I'm pretty sure you use Linux! :whistle:
Naaa, it was Windows that made me mad. That's why I use Linux... Hmm, hang on a sec.
Windows developed by Linux developers to drive people mad and into using Linux confirmed.

Quoting: KohlyKohlAlso, I'm a bit annoyed with the slow updates because there have been so many game breaking bugs and we Linux users have been stuck with them for months on end.

I know part of this is Creative Assembly's fault but when you spend $60 for a game plus that much on DLCs it would be nice if it worked right...
This really is a big problem with Feral stuff.
I do understand that sometimes it takes longer to port a patch or DLC. That is fine.
But their communication is utterly terrible - no word on a timeline, when people ask on forums where their patches are, they get the same boilerplate reply instead of an actual answer. That is NOT fine at all!

We also play it sometimes.
And indeed were haunted by some bugs - it's especially nasty if a bug prevents you from fulfilling your Big Quest...
