29 games are getting delisted from GOG

Delisting usually happens not because GOG doesn't like the games, but becasue developers or publishers pull them or something happens to affect rights of the games (like some kind of dispute / legal limbo upstream).

So I doubt there is any point to blame GOG for it. If you want to get an idea, try to dig into those publisher names and see if anything is going on with them, that info might not be completely unavailable.

Quoting: KlaasSo… was this about his infamous tweet where he compared installing Linux because Windows was garbage to moving to Canada or was it completely random?
Apparently moving to Canada equals Linux support for him.

Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban
Must be so "smart" to ban potentially paying users. Morons.

And Tim Sweeney can move to Canada and get lost.

Not using it, but I see a ton of reports that it's bugged in the game.

I suppose they'll follow up with bug fixes soon enough.

That's cool and a good move for Microsoft.

How will Wine handle it, will they pull in changes from .NET's fork back into Mono?

Quoting: EhvisMinimal performance gain over the previous series.
Seems to be comparable to improvements from Zen 3 to Zen 4. Not sure that's called minimal. I'm more interested in how well eco mode will perform.

Quoting: EhvisStill can't seem to compete with the X3Ds though, so it'll be interesting to see what that could do for this series.
It would be interesting if high end models will have full core coverage with extra cache in X3D and will avoid the asymmetrical set up.
