That's good to see.
Unfortunately they lost quite some people that now thinks that framework is fine with sponsoring fascists :/

I long ago gave up using the actual client, I don't need fifty different browsers disguised as apps running.
Works fine, and frankly better performance-wise, as a pinned tab in Firefox.

It's in pre-pre-production. Terribly exciting. In the current industry climate that leaves at least half a decade of dodging cancellations, and that's assuming Sega doesn't get profoundly sick of CA regardless of how well the Medieval 3 development is going.
This entire announcement reeks of insincerity, desperation and damage control.

Call of Thunder! CodThunder! Battlethunder!
If they get this right, I suspect it will swell the War Thunder numbers significantly!! We'll end up with videos like that @GnarSasquatch guy on Arma Reforger!

Wine really had huge progress this year, so many things got fixed and implemented especially for winewayland.
What's so far is broken still is this:
* https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57456
* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461063
But formally, it's a KDE bug.

Since Medieval III is in pre-production stage, maybe we'll get a Medieval II remaster before that. Just wishful thinking. Medieval II on a 64-bit engine would do wonders for the modding community.

Dare I ask... why the hate for flatpak (a puke emoji, no less!)? If I can't install something directly, I want a flatpak. I'll use an AppImage and resent it, because it (often) doesn't create a menu item, it requires me to find a place for it to live (I usually bung them in ~/Misc/Apps or something), and doesn't update with the rest of my system. I won't use snap, as I'm not interested in YAI (yet another installer) when I already have flatpak.

Quoting: XpanderflatpakI love how ridiculously divisive we all are as Linux users.
no appimage?
i guess someone can extract the client from it and build an actual package
nice to see linux support though

It's hard to be upset at the Hyprland donations, I suppose, in the face of the all the good they're additionally doling out on a monthly basis. Still wish they'd drop Gnome for KDE though (and by extension, also drop Hyprland), as this feels like the direction of travel these days.
I might just be blinkered there though. I suspect Gnome still has a huge mindshare, probably as a combined result over decades of Ubuntu and Fedora.

Specifically though, it's genAI that's so hated. ML/AI has been around for decades without burning the planet, stealing jobs, pirating books, abusing copyright, talking kids into bad situations, or kick-starting a new nuclear era during a climate crisis. I could also point out the price of Nvidia GPUs, or 32Gb of RAM, I suppose, but I feel like it's already earned its derision by this point. Screwing up gaming/computing generally is just icing!

Selfishly, I have Netflix (albeit debating keeping it much longer after I ditched Spotify a couple of months ago), and won't ever take Paramount, so hopefully this hostile bid fails completely. Also, as others have noted, this is backed by Jared Kushner apparently - Trump's step-son, with additional backing from the middle east.
According to the FT, Paramount are on the hook for only (!) $12bn, while $24bn is secured through several middle eastern sovereign wealth funds (who are still separately diversifying from oil through initiatives like PIF's investment in EA e-gaming), and the remainder is a debt through a combined commitment from the Bank of America, Citigroup, and Apollo.

sad that you can't disable the discords own titlebar. waste of space on my screen tbh
Before i could at least toggle the borders off from my WM and it was clean, but now the discords own titlebar thing is still wasting the space.
not the end of the world ofc, but yeah.

But they try.

That's actually what lead me to try and find the oldest article referencing it instead, which so far seems to be the IGN article linked above.

Oddly enough, Netflix has already sent out emails to its consumers confirming the WBD acquisition.
It is sad to see WBD driven to the ground by its visionless and soulless leadership.
And I am not supposed to root for anyone in this fight, they are all large corporations that prioritize dollar over quality. But learning recently who is backing Paramount made me hope it's not them who win.

Bit of a shame RWS cancelled the project entirely, instead of asking another studio. For example, the studio behind Vampire Hunters could have been a decent fit.
