500k, and that's without a native Linux version :P

/just kidding, I'm not expecting it to affect sales a lot.

In other news, they also added a classic mode.

Quoting: TermyI'm still amazed those high price controllers still use potentiometer sticks.
After trying out the Gulikit Kingkong, hall effect sticks just are on a whole other level and there is no excuse to not use them on anything that costs more than 30 or 40 bucks. If only the Kingkongs would work better on linux :/

I think you can pretty easily replace those sticks with hall effect sensors. There are even some for the Steam Deck. I saw something about this in a "Linus Tech Tips" video ("ultimate steam deck", IIRC)

I'm surprised, I thought rsync already used rolling hashes.

There's also casync in that space: https://github.com/systemd/casync/ [External Link] (the blog post is quite nice IIRC).

If it's similar but better than rsync, I feel like these improvements should be folded into rsync.

Quoting: m2mg2What is this hack to get achievements working? There was a time I had it working but it broke long ago.

Quoting: MayeulCStill no splitscreen :P

More seriously, nothing changed. There's still a hack to get achievements and campaign progression without EAC, but no online play with EAC enabled.

There are a few references on https://areweanticheatyet.com/ [External Link], but it has less info than this post. Here's their latest update [External Link].

There is a replacement dll for eac. That also allows the game to load with EAC on, though you'll get kicked from online matches after a few seconds (I tried once, without realizing I still had it). I'd avoid online as I don't want a ban.

Quoting: HythlodaeusHonestly can't we just have someone decompile the PC version of 2097 and make a source port out of it?

Grab Ghidra and be the change you want to see :)

Quoting: constI bought this game because of a recommendation here a few years back. Sadly, it wasn't for me. To me, it felt more like the original PS1 Wipeouts and I somewhat got used to the much more comfortable feeling of Wipeout HD (Fury).

Redout is pretty good too, I think it's currently in a bundle over at fatical :)

Meh. I'm completely uninterested by yet-another typewriter keyboard (staggered layout). Join the ortholinear gang!

Quoting: LeflWhat differentiates this game from minecraft?

Or rather, why should I play this when the real Minecraft exists?

Minetest is much more than a single game, it's closer to Garry's Mod. It has first-class mod support, and isn't much without them (it's more of a game engine indeed).

So you can mix-and-match mods to play the game however you want, and play multiplayer with other people on the same mods.

Mineclone here tries to reproduce the base Minecraft games, and is a collection of mods for minetest that add blocks, mobs, mechanics, etc. You can also pick a few of these pieces individually, and/or build on Mineclone to create new experiences closer to modded classic minecraft. With minetest mods.

Also, it runs better on low-end machines in my experience, though the sort of low-powered machine that can barely run minecraft is getting harder to find, thankfully :P

In Minetest terminology, Games [External Link] are collections of Mods [External Link], that aim to provide a playable (fun to play) set of defaults. Mods provide functionality.

Wow, that is awesome!

This will make TF2 able to compete with Garry's mod :)

Halo Infinite also has a pretty impressive forge mode... I'm glad developers embrace fan-made creations more and more.

Also, that shouldn't be an issue cheating-wise. Those scripts are part of the map, everybody gets them. Also, there is nothing new that you couldn't do client-side before. It's just easier distribution-wise.

Want to play a minigolf game? Just connect to the right server, it will DL the map. No mods to install client-side.
