I bought my computer on 24th of june 2015 for 823,00 € and it was already a "mid-level" setup. Since then i only added one hard drive, no upgrade at all. As i mostly play indies with low spec requirments, it's still enough. When i play more AAA games like Warhammer Total War, i need to go Low-Meduim, but i guess i get used to it.

I use Funtoo instead of Gentoo, but it's pretty much the same at its core.

I forgot something or there is no way to include more PC, if there is few?

Quoting: thed4rkn1teI'm an idiot. If the logo stands for Macha (goddess of war) and "made to wade" comes from lyrics of Crass - Major General Despair (as Feral have used slightly obscure songs before) then a logical solution is Dawn of War III. This would also be levering an existing relationship with developers Relic Entertainment (Dawn of War 2, Company of Heroes 2) and publisher Sega (Total War series)

well the symbol is the Chinese symbol for tea

Quoting: AsuI wish Bethesda would bring over Skyrim to linux as well.
I have TW1 and will get TW2 as soon as it's on linux.

Bethesda are not going to port anything to linux they do not see it as a viable cost return, I wish they did as i would love a native fallout 3 and 4 and skyrim.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: GuestThat would need (very roughly) 50 people working together full time for 3 years. This will not happen as a hobby project.

How about 500 working in spare time?

Quoting: manero666I was suffering this issue since Superposition came out as I was one of the few that wasn't able to run it (I have the testing repos enabled).
There is an easy fix: install libopenssl-1.0-compat from the AUR and then load that specific library
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0-compat/

Now I'm able to run Superposition (at 10fps lol)

ps. mind that there is a key to import, check the aur page for more info

Liam should add this to the article! Otherwise it gets lost in the comments!
Downgrading is a silly option which I did at first, broke all the SSL as the older versions are no longer accepted by pacman. With manual fixing you can revert, but this is much cleaner and should be added as a workaround until the fix has been released.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI love Arch, but there is definitely a price to be paid for having a rolling distribution. This reminds me of the time a bad version of Ghostscript popped into it and it would cause any printouts to be solid black.

Good things there are always work arounds though, which is what makes Linux si great. Do you think Windows 10 would let you roll back a core library if it broke anything? Or macOS for that matter. Not that macOS would update core libraries that often...

windows dont break stuff that often, we got games for ms-dos running on windows 7, i cant say the same about linux, i had a lot of games breaking every 6 months during the era that all games for linux were open source (before steam came to linux)
then i stoped using Non LTS Ubuntu :v

but to say that windows wouldnt allow you to do that, is pretty much Straw man since you dont need, and when you do, there are countless hackers who made patches/mods for the games to keep then running.

open ssl= security.
downgrade it=less security, you SHOULD point it on the article.
that is not an "solution" its a work arround.

WebGL 1.0 is based on OpenGL ES 2.0, which uses shaders rather than a fixed-function pipeline:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_ES#OpenGL_ES_2.0

So I don't think OpenGL 2.1 is sufficient, no. In your browser, go the URL about:support, and see what the Graphics section says about WebGL.

Quoting: scaineI still get occasional flashbacks to the Mantis Lords fight. And yet... despite taking about 10 attempts, the feeling when you finally do it - that's why you play these games, I think. Just epic.

Haha. Yes, I left that one until I levelled up a bit! The Radiance took me about 50 tries fully specced. The White Palace was intense but previous crazy platforming skills helped a lot. I have put about 4 or 5 evenings into the Trial of Fools and still haven't come close. It is an interesting design to make the really hard stuff completely avoidable.

I have to say, though, going back to play again and everything seems so much easier, even with an under-powered character! That is one of the best things about metroidvania games (if they are well made). It is not just your character that improves, it is the player as well.

Man, I am glad I am not in the mood to play XCOM2...

All I know is that I had 300+ updates waiting for me (yes, i update my system everyday) and now some games don't work. Oh well, at least the ones that don't work I can wait on so I'll just wait for the maintainers to fix this...

Quoting: GuestSo Dota 2 is gonna become a game with indirect subscription. [...]

I don't understand why it is so much of a big deal to add two factor authentication to your Steam account, when it's demanded so much for other services.
Most players will only benefit and probably don't care about the concerns you have. The loss of players will be insignificantly low, I suppose.

If you don't want to give out your phone number to Valve you can play unranked still. Not so much of a big deal imo.

Quoting: QantouriscI counted only 5 degrees of freedom:
X Y Z Location, Z,X Rotation

Y rotation should exist too if they're cloning descent. Of course, hardly anyone actually uses y rotation. I had it assigned to the 7 and 9 keys on my keypad in descent. (slide up and down - +, forward and back were 0 and . 1 and 3 for slide left and right, 2/4/6/8 for other rotations.

Quoting: STiATSo you say it broke between 1.0.2.k-2 and 1.0.2.k-3?

That would be the versioned symbol patch breaking things... which shouldn't be.

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/openssl-1.0-versioned-symbols.patch?h=packages/openssl-1.0

Seems that the package maintainers are aware of this as per the link posted earlier. Guess we'll see what the longer term solution will be.

Quoting: BTRE

Quoting: WorMzyDon't downgrade your openssl package, you'll break everything that now depends on the new soname (including pacman! Well done!).

Not true in this instance. openssl is at its latest version on my system (1.1.0.e-1) and I only downgraded openssl-1.0 to 1.0.2.k-2. No breakage to either pacman or anything else insofar I can tell. This is after rebooting and explicitly checking if I could still install, sync and whatever else with pacman after downgrading. And things like Mad Max and Civ 6 work. You may be right in general about downgrading packages but this is a simple workaround if you're too impatient to wait until they fix this.

So you say it broke between 1.0.2.k-2 and 1.0.2.k-3?

Quoting: GuestFrom: http://blog.dota2.com/2017/04/matchmaking-update/
"There will be a two-week grace period from today during which players have time to register a number, but starting on May 4th, accounts without a registered number will no longer be eligible for Ranked play. "

Damn, i haven't seen that article. Then I agree with you. It is a mistake to force this upon players. Now that I think of it, they will probably do the same with counter strike soon if this becomes a 'success'.

Ahh, yeah, my bad. I totally misread. Downgrading openssl-1.0 is definitely not as big a deal as downgrading openssl (which is what I thought we were talking about). Sorry BTRE.

Quoting: WorMzyI'm not sure how you managed this. Curl has been rebuilt against openssl 1.1.0.e-1 (libssl.so.1.1.0), removing it (by downgrading openssl) will cause pacman to break with "error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

Downgrading is not a solution, and just downgrading one package amounts to a partial upgrade.

libssl.so.1.1 is provided by the package openssl (in Core) as is libcrypto.so and libcrypto.so.1.1. Most of the things pointed out by you depend on these libraries.

These games, on the other hand, depend on libraries from another package entirely. openssl-1.0 (in Extra), which provides things like libcrpyto.so.1.0.0 and libssl.so.1.0.0. They're not the same thing and I think that this is where our misunderstanding is coming from.

Though yeah, I will concede that downgrading packages is not much of a solution and has its risks. And people should generally not be encouraged to do so blindly. Which is why I suggested that Liam add a disclaimer. But in this case, I still haven't had any errors of any sort.

Quoting: ShmerlSo it's unrelated to OpenTomb?

Code-wise yes. But the dev took insparation from the OpenTomb project. Personally, I see it as duplication of effort, but that's free software for you.
