It's a very enjoyable game, if you're into the survivor-like genre you cannot skip DRG Survivor. They sure have improved the game a ton or two since the early demo days.

Remembering Wine from back in the pre-1.0 days... almost seems like a different universe. At the very least, Wine started in a different millennia, which is nearly as bizarre to think about.

Intel announced their Arc B-Series GPUs and XeSS 2, the day after CEO Pat Gelsinger retires
3 Dec 2024 at 10:24 pm UTC Likes: 3

Dead product line, has no USP or reason to exist. The losses Intel have taken from the ARC disaster are unimaginable.
These new cards can barely compete with previous generation Nvidia/AMD cards, have nothing on current gen and are dead in the water against the upcoming releases from both competitors in Q1 2025. RIP.
