Quoting: kusochiWoah! Is this the first Source 2 game with Vulkan?

That would be DOTA2 I believe.

I don't think we will have to debate Trump for much longer. His disastrous handling of the ongoing pandemic, and the plunging stock markets will make sure of that.

Quoting: Projectile VomitMeh, it's a fun retro game and the turtles look a bit like Mitch McConnell, so...

They are called "Mitch troopas", or "Mitch paratroopas" for the flying ones. True story. See the credits :D

It's not a democracy, period.

That's exactly why people need to get off their couches and vote. ^_^

If you're a US citizen and you're reading this, get off your couch and vote. 50-ish% voter turnout is shameful for the so called "leader of the free world". In Europe it's pretty common with voter turnouts around 75-ish%. It's not just your right to vote, it's your duty as a citizen in a democracy. I don't care who you vote for, that's not my business, but just get out there and vote.

If there will be a vote that is... I fully predict sars-cov-2 to wreck havoc on the US pretty soon. Apparently president Trump was two handshakes away from an infected person at his last rally. Clearly there are thousands of infected flying under the radar in the US, and government and healthcare is poorly prepared and not taking it seriously. I fully expect it to be as bad as in Italy, Iran, SK or China.

Game looks noice BTW.

What have you been playing recently and what are your thoughts?

Got hooked on Decenders. Even managed to find a spot in the top 10 of the daily leaderboards. Twice in a row. Yesterday I was about to do it a third time, but before finishing I temporarily went into the kitchen to get some grub. When I came back the screen was black and I've had a GPU hang :'(

Also started replaying Black Mesa which I haven't done since 2016 according to my last save files.

Quoting: kuhpunktDude, what are you even talking about? XD

Since you're typing in English, I assume you understand English, so you're going to have to be a bit more specific as to what you're confused about.

Everything.

VR isn't that expensive anymore. SteamVR is a standard. And then you start talking about communism.

For some of us it is expensive. I certainly couldn't afford it.

It's been on the market for several years now. You could have saved up some money. And I assume you have a gaming PC. How much did you spend on this? And of course it's going to get cheaper. Technology always does.

Sure, but I'm just not that attracted to VR in it's current state so I'd rather spend money on more important things. Maybe one day I'll change my mind.

I played it a couple of years ago before xen was available. Not sure whether I should start from the beginning or skip straight to xen. Has a lot changed since then besides xen?
