What does that even mean.

I'd rather see them replacing Gecko with Servo and implementing Vulkan rendering instead of all this AI nonsense.

Hopefully Servo based browser will become a thing eventually, with Mozilla or without.

As to timing, obviously it will be out in March. Otherwise they'd be calling it "April of Giants" or something.

Yuk, so we're left with a few webkit reskins and ... lynx?

Some people, when seeing such success, wonder how they can monetise it better. Team cherry wondered how they could better thank their fans.

For once I have no problem with this, I mean rubbish belongs in the dumpyard if you catch my meaning.

I've cleaned up the comments a little after having time to think about the language being used here. Please try to stick to the rules, and refrain from being intentionally inflammatory. We have people from all countries reading, let's play nice. Thank you.

Piss off Ubishit, despicable monster destroying everything they touch. Yves and the entire board/Guillemot family should be in prison for crimes against humanity and all IP's they have taken hostage released to better hands.

Makes sense, it's feature complete and superseded by RTX Remix.

Has the term "RTS" become so taboo at this point, that we have to designate this game as "a MOBA where you lead an army of soldiers" instead?

I hope they sell it on GOG or itch eventually, my daughter is kind of young and still uses my Steam account, I don't want to have to explain this game to her 😆

Letting random people decide the name of a subgenre hasn't gone well in the past. That's not far from how we ended up with calling games like Deus Ex "immersive sims", a phrase completely synonymous with "good videogames".

I don't even know where I'm at right now.

Quoting: tpauThe question is how can we keep the almost monopoly of Steam in check and balance it out?
I buy my games only on Steam if there is no other option.

The answer is simple: provide competitive good enough services and shopping experience that are on par at least with Steam.

If any other game shop does not want to provide that or cannot do that, they won't get better market shares.

For example, Epic is still burning Fortnite money and any of their underhanded tactics did not work out, instead of treating customers better.

Steam does exactly that, that is providing in comparison to other stores the best services.

Steam's behavior is so interesting.
They behave themselves as a monopolist that fears anti-trust law, which is such a weird situation.

You know Valve's reputation of "winning by doing nothing".
That's how you win as a legal monopolist.
Let the economy of scale and ages of product refinement carry you, because a reaction would by definition be anti-competitive(quite literally you take actions to minimize the amount of competition you face).

It took them 43 releases to realise they needed more formal testing procedures? Wow, that's rather amateur to put it mildly.

If you are into point and click, it is the must-have-played of the year, it seems.

I am! Fab, thanks, will get it for sure then.

Quoting: scaineI've got the first Monster Hunter (Worlds?) which was fun, and was looking forward to Wilds, but you know how I feel about Denuvo. No interest. I think there's a third one too, right? Rise?

If they keep sticking that shitty anti-consumer BS on their games, I'll keep not buying them.

actually worlds was more like the 5th ( mainline entry) and rise was sorta a side game the way generations was after 4 with wilds essentially being 6 ,... but i agree the presence of denuvo is why i don't buy most games i don't need that crap on something i paid for making things worse ,.. thats apart from the obvious issues this game had optimization-wise added on top . hopefully they'll eventually remove it like they sometimes do and clean up performance tho i wouldn't be surprised if thats not till a yr or so after a major expansion like they usually have.

Quoting: JarmerThis is so great to see!

@numerfolt do what now? Can you link me to some info? Oh it's the hyprland/omarchy toxic communities. I have never been there or spent any time with either, so I have no personal experience but from what I've read: they can F right off and I know for sure I won't be using either ever.

Oh sorry, didnt see your mention...
There's actually three things to that:

Hyprland. Actually I dug into hyprland a bit more: It was toxic, that's true. But since ~1-2 years they are actively combating harassment and the toxicity. The tone may still be a bit rough, but not toxic anymore (from what I could find out).
Which is why I have no problem with them sponsoring hyprland.

Omarchy is a different thing, they gave the developer a laptop and sponsored an event he started. I really dont like DHH and it seems like he's no nice person, but I dont mind.

The last thing is, that a moderator made it clear, that it's not allowed to call other people in their forums a nazi. This resulted in LOTS of people being like "They want to protect nazis!!!". But at the same time it's also forbidden to behave like a nazi would. And it's still allowed to call out public figures because of nazi-like behaviour. And quite some people got banned because of transphobic or racist comments, so their moderation is working quite well.
But for quite some people this is not a reasonable course of action but just framework protecting nazis.
I cant agree with that.

Hope that makes sense?

we do plan on having a build available for Linux (and Mac), we haven't gotten to testing other platforms yet

Not having an automatic daily build of them and testing them at least from time to time does sound like the recipe for "Oops, it didn't work out!"

But, let's see (and stay optimistic)...

Quoting: ArehandoroI've recently discovered that I'm a sucker for anything neo-noir, pixel art aesthetics and if it has a sax or synth music I'll even fall in love with it... Independently of the actual quality of the product in some cases 😅

I'm not sure what "neo-noir" looks like, but did you take a look at the (excellent) The Drifter?

Neo-Noir is mainly a Noir story but set in retro-futuristic, or also sci-fi, setting. Tex Murphy is a good example I think.

They also note that with Proton you'll see a video test pattern, so to switch to the Native Linux version.

Or use Proton-GE. It's the good old codec license crap...

Quoting: pbImagine being a "superfan" of a company...

Just visit the Discord "GOG Cafè" and start a discussion about the DRM; there are some such "usperfans" that will respond to that.
