BE-A-Walker and "Ion Fury". Gonna fire up "Missile Command" and "Get to the Orange Door".
Quoting: WJMazepasI finally got to play Bioshock and now i understand all the hype about.Gunslinger is fun. Might be the best of the series.
In the Summer Sale, i bought Call of Juarez Gunslinger that work with zero issues on Proton, Sunless Skies because it looked very interesting. Bastion, and MotherGunShip that looked really fun.

And again we have an Intel/NVIDIA combo from them. They are doing great things, but I want an AMD/AMD laptop. With hardware kill switches. And open firmwware. So if System76 can partner with Purism on that project I would buy one. In 1080P of course, there's no point to a 4K laptop with a screen that small.

Gonna need to see the comparison shootout between the 3900X, 3900XT, and 3950X on Blender, Kdenlive, and other multithread Linux workloads. I'm going to buy one of them in the next two months.
EDIT : Right now I'm leaning towards 3900XT+ https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-...82E16820232860 [External Link] . Get the extra boost speed of the 3950X and I'm only going to be rendering in 1080p video for the next year anyway, and it will cost about the same amount of money.

It's been on my wishlist for months... and it will stay there until it runs via Steamplay. Don't much care why it doesn't work, just know that there's no reason for me to buy it until it does.
AMD slides show Zen 4 CPUs and RDNA 3 GPUs before 2022

I've been bouncing around about what to upgrade next. I'm either buying 64GB of DDR4 3600 or I'm buying a 3950X or I'm buying a ASUS PG43UQ 43” 4K HDR1000 monitor - depends on the tax return. I'm starting a Youtube channel so need the video editing capability for the Cannon EOS 200D footage and I still want DOOM Eternal to look amazing, so compromised on a very large gaming monitor with full HDR support that will handle a increased camera resolution should the should channel become profitable enough to buy a 4K camera. I've already decided on the new Big NAVI whenever AMD gets it launched, so I won't be playing anything AAA in 4K until then because I'm still running a GTX1060. Then I'm going to go with a fresh Fedora32 install.
I'm kinda feeling on the fence about the 3950X. Kinda wondering what Zen3 is going to look like and what the $700 will buy me out of that lineup that will plug into this Asrock board I bought in January. Unless they drop the price of the 3950 down to $575 or something to get rid of them.

System76 announce their 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen powered Serval WS laptop

"They didn't go with AMD for graphics though, sticking with NVIDIA instead giving the choice of either an NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti or an RTX 2070."
I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall. I want to buy an all AMD linux laptop with hardware killswitches. Purism only does Intel. Even for graphics, so nevermind about the killswitches. System76 is now using AMD CPU's.... and why exactly do we not have an option for a 5700XT?
So, with that being the case, I'm just going to buy one of these when the price is back down around $500 and save some cash(it will probably ship with Fedora32 by the time I buy one, and if not it's an easy install, plus the touchscreen will work with Inkscape):
Lenovo Flex 14 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop, 14 Inch FHD Touchscreen Display, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Processor, 12GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10, 81SS000DUS, Black, Pen Included

Cool. Now if we could get rid of Flatpack too and default to AppImage that would be awesome.

I don't care which company you want to mention, ANYTHING they are sitting on from the DOS/Win95/98/WinXP era should be open sourced without exception. No one except third party tech support is still making any money from something that old, even on the enterprise level.

Who would have thought that ROTJ was so ridiculous that it would inspire an entire side scroller. Or that people hated ewoks that much. Hey, maybe next he can do an underwater sequel where you just kill wave after wave of gungans.
