Open-world action adventure 'Pine' where humans are not top of the food chain is now available

Quoting: julkipI haven't heared from this game before, but this looks like it would be a perfect game from me. I just bought it on GoG and will do my own performance testing. Going to report back, when I have results.
Preliminary result of about 30 minutes of testing:
I played on 1920x1080 windowed mode (as it seems the game does not support ultra wide resolutions like 2560x1080) with graphics set to "Fantastic". I had constant framerates in the 40ies with very rarely drops to 38 or 39. When entering a new area it dropped once to 25, but only for a split second, probably it was still loading.
My specs are: Ryzen 5 3600 (not overclocked), GTX 1070 Ti, 16GB Ram

I will continue testing tomorrow, unfortunately I don't have the time to do proper testing today.

If you can't login to World of Warcraft or WoW Classic on Linux, here's a quick fix for now

Quoting: rustybroomhandleIt may be necessary to add net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=80 (or 128) to /etc/sysctl.conf to make sure the setting persists after reboot.

EDIT: Or echo 128 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl

Heck, I don't know... somebody help. :)
Or you could just make Lutris do the settings with pre-launch and post-exit commands…

Godot Engine continues advancing the Vulkan rendering system, 3D work has begun

Quoting: scaineBit of a random though this, but I always assumed that since the only "godot" I'm aware of before hearing about this game engine was "Waiting for Godot", that the last 't' is silent (the book's author was Irish, but wrote the book in French).

Does everyone agree or is this another one of those cases like when people mispronounce Ubuntu as "Oo-bun-too" instead of "oo-boon-too"??

Back on topic - love these updates. Godot is really shaping up to be THE game engine of the modern age. I just became a patreon this month, as it would be amazing to see them cross the goal line on their next hire.
As far as I know there is no set correct pronounciation of the name. There is a google talk by one dev (I think its Juan) and he says it can be either the french sounding with silent t or go-dot with a pronounced t.

The emulation and media player front-end RetroArch just had a huge new release

It might be minor but one of my favourite features is the ESC key no longer making RetroArch instantly close.
So you say it's finally usable? Great news!

What are you playing this weekend and what do you think about it? It's mostly Dota Underlords for me

I have started playing CrossCode recently. I am a bit disappointed that I cannot move using the D-Pad and have to use the left analogue stick, but aside from that, it's a great game

In retrospect I am so glad I missed the kickstarter for this by a week. Usually I would have backed a game like this. But once again the message is: NO PREORDERS!

The Linux market share on Steam is at a 14 month high as of September 2018

The title of the story suggested a number a biiiit more impressive than 0.7%, but It's a success anyway I guess ;)
