Quoting: Liam DaweAww you should have kept it, I didn't send a correction report as I wasn't sure if it was on purpose... but I thought it was a nice touch to have a typo in the headline for a spelling game regardless. :)Quoting: dpanter"retro arade" huh? Clever girl...Fixed.

Liam, can you clarify this statement:
Mb = Megabits
Mbps = Megabits per second (speedtest.net results are Mbps)
QuoteWith a Virgin Media internet connection that gives around 360MB down and about 36MB upMB = Megabytes
Mb = Megabits
Mbps = Megabits per second (speedtest.net results are Mbps)

Added 2 more images to the comparison.
I can't help but wonder if the texture resolution and/or filtering is the same between the versions, even with the exact same settings. Can all these differences be attributed to the lighting alone?

If you're curious about a direct comparision, this is Very High Quality, AA disabled, 1920x1200.
Tip: Click to enlarge, the arrow keys to switch between them.
It honestly doesn't look terrible on Mesa, but it is absolutely worse. It was claimed in one of the bug reports from years ago that some puzzles are unsolvable from the borked colors/lighting/shadows. No idea if this is still true with today's Mesa.

Watched the video in question, I now have regrets. :|
Stadia looks to be very limited at launch and not just the amount of games

Dead on arrival might be a bit harsh but things sure aren't looking great right now for Stadia, or even in the near future. Interesting to see what happens.
Will game streaming become a thing or just another huge meh?
Can Google really compete with the gaming powerhouses like Valve, Sony and M$?
Is 2020 the Year Of The Linux Desktop???

Don't blaze it too hard for the release of Wine 4.20

While Debian Stable isn't really the best choice for gaming, there's a quick fix for mesa and amdgpu, just pull them from Testing. You can grab Wine directly from WineHQ repo. :)
Stable has some very specific use cases and I would really think about upgrading to Testing fully for a gaming rig.

Quoting: da_habakukstill on 4.12.1~buster wine-staging on debian stable :( but i started to move to steam+proton(-GE) anyways :)No need to do anything drastic.
for gaming sometimes i wonder if it wouldnt be better to be more bleeding edge with archlinux etc..
my mesa is still on 1.8.
