Quoting: slaapliedjeThe burnout is real. Like for book writers like GRRM, at least you can try writing some other stuff, or take a break and decouple yourself from a story. Likely why he's taking so long for the next book... But when you're a TV show writer with deadlines... I can totally see why shows start to suffer the longer they're around, unless they get handed off to other writers, but that can make the show suck in different ways as well. (See shows such as Dead Like Me)

Yeah, true. CV show also suffered from internal conflict between the writer and one of the producers which I think made the writer treat certain characters badly out of spite, especially in the last season. Plus then some sort of "me too" scandal with that writer broke out so he was booted from the project altogether (but not before finishing S4 script).

In the last season it feels like he just gives Deus ex machina bonuses to his favorites and short end of the sticks to some others in a very biased / spiteful fashion, which really messed up the story for me.

Quoting: drlambEdit: The 7900 XTX is lovely, other than the fact I can't see my cursor under X11. Still don't need a CPU upgrade though. :tongue:

Good to know! Are games working well? And does the cursor work in KDE Wayland session?

Quoting: oberjaegerLooking forward to Line, the "Line is not an emulator" from Microsoft to run Linux games on Windows...

They already tried that. Their early WSL was Wine-like except in reverse. But they switched to using full blown VM for it instead of doing translation.

Quoting: whizseOr for running a certain popular game store client that's stuck on 32-bit for some reason.

That's what I keep hearing (not using it myself). I'm really surprised Steam client itself is still 32-bit. Isn't it today basically a glorified Web / browser engine for UI? Not sure what's underneath.

Looking forward to Wine-Wayland being merged this year.

32-bit on 64-bit sounds good! Especially if it will work also for OpenGL / Vulkan parts.

I wish someone would also make the same thing for native Linux games.

Quoting: slaapliedjeYeah, that's odd. Well, it's like Game of Thrones. Sure they had some framework of what was supposed to go on... but GRRM only said they could make the show if they could figure out who Jon Snow was, and apparently they had, so at least they were some big fans... but I think after so many years of working on it, and then getting other deals to do, they decided to jump the shark and screw up the last few seasons... or something. Sure seems like they were burnt out working on the show. Wonder if something similar happened here, where he flubbed season 4 on purpose so Netflix wouldn't renew it. Same too, the show was fantastic.

Yeah, that reminded me Game of Thrones finale mess indeed. Very comparable disappointment.

Not sure if you finished CV show, my favorite was Styria story arc there, and it was messed up the worst in the last season. Characters treated so badly, key themes developed before - ruined, time not given to show character development and etc. while at the same time the season wasted a ton of screen time on repetitive action scenes in general.

Quoting: slaapliedjeYeah, sort of like the 'Star Wars Effect' where they decided they didn't need to use any of the vast amount of material made by great writers to create the sequel trilogy... instead they winged it without making a cohesive trilogy, and just did 'nostalgia' mode, as if they could remake the original better...

The extra bizarre thing about this show is that the same writer made all four seasons. Without knowing that, you'd assume they replaced him in the fourth season with some random writer who decided to mess it up.

Quoting: hardpenguin

I never really played the older games and wasn't until watching the truly incredible Castlevania Anime on Netflix that I felt pulled into the world.

Yesss, that show was fun!

Quoting: slaapliedjeAgreed! I held off too long to watch it, I feel.

A fair warning - it has very interesting writing in first 3 seasons, but season 4 fell off the cliff so badly - I was extremely disappointed. It's as if the writer sabotaged most interesting story arcs and characters on purpose.

And I haven't played the games either, looking at it simply from standpoint of writing quality and characters I cared about.

It's really something bizarre I almost never experienced before, to have such good potential and start that ends so extremely badly in the finale.
