Quoting: ElectricPrismYou would think that with how religious South Korea is over BroodWar that they would have reverse-engineered the game by now into new source code.

Quoting: ThibugI know, because they were losing a lot of money. Yet they continue to use exclusivity deals (That cost them money) to get games on their store, so if they continue at the same rate, it will be back in the news at some point...

I couldn't help but remember Order of the Stick's Episode 135 "Potionomics"

I've only read it once years ago yet I vividly remembered it and found the correct episode in seconds... i guess one story matches the other quite closely, lol

hint: because DOS was the kernel for them and they were just a shell, win 3.11 and win95 work fine over DOSBox

no need for suffering with ancient hardware and ancient OSs if you're doing it just to game

Gotta love the irony in "DRM free games in the Vault [that you can only get] via their Windows app"

Quoting: tarmo888Sounds a lot like a Steam Deck VR, a Steam Deck variant that supports VR games and comes packaged with VR headset. Expect $2k price tag.

I see zero reason why Valve would develop a new VR headset and a new handheld but only sell them bundled instead of each on its own. They have already proven they're smart when it comes to reaching people in lower price tiers (which bundling prevents) and they already sold these things standalone.

They might offer both together optionally at a discount, that'd be sweet

Quoting: whizse

Quoting: MarlockThanks!
I've tried finding out how good or bad linux support is for that chip but found nothing...

...so I'm probably being as blind in that task as I was finding out which chip it is, LOL

Unless I'm reading this wrong, that chip in turn uses the Qualcomm QCA206x Wi-Fi 6E chip [External Link].

Annoyingly I can't find anything about Linux support for that one either...

almost exactly where I stopped...

I did find some mentions about commits to the linux kernel regarding the QCA2066 but they were all about bluetooth not wifi.

If they dare say realtek again instead of a brand+model that has know good linux support, i say "sargent mustard with a candelabra in the master bedroom"

Quoting: Guestany competitive game requires a player to outspeed an opponent, what did you expect from a first person shooter?

mandatory pedantic reply: chess
sorry, i just couldn't resist :whistle:

analog world jokes aside I did play "Sid Meyer's Civilization 2" and "Stars!", which both were turn-based and supported competitive multiplayer... Stars! even supported play-by-email, which is absurdly cumbersome compared to modern multiplayer gaming options, but was pretty cool in the era of 56kbps dialup internet

I also rather play slower paced games, mainly because my reflexes are horribly slow for anything else :grin:

And despite the rise in prominence of competitive online multiplayer realtime games like shooters, battle royales and whatnot there are popular modern takes for slower gameplay too (eg: League of Legends's non-rts offspring TFT)
