The Engineer/Designer "hat" inside me is really bothered by this picture.

The black label strip is out of alignment too far to the left.

Text alignment of each label looks like it was spaced out in Microsoft Word using spaces between labels instead of measured and aligned to the center of each port in Photoshop like any sane designer would do.

The USB ports are blue completely ruining the aesthetic.

The mesh material behind the grille just looks like regular grid mesh you would find at your local hardware store.

The USB ports are vertically aligned slightly above the HDMI port which is above the Ethernet port.

I'm not as much informed about the AC ports but I am beginning to wonder if it's wonky too

I mod my own 5 volt power switches and do other mods so these little oddities just stand out and confound me.

Quoting: wvstolzingI remember reading an article a few years ago, which predicted that once raytracing of this sort becomes mainstream, and our eyes get used to it, even the cutting edge billion dollar production George Lucas CGI from the early 2000s will start to look like N64 graphics to us -- with all the shortcuts and brain-duping tricks they had to implement with the lighting -- not to mention games from earlier eras.

I mean not really, it already looks like crap.

I hope it fails because I expect governments to create gaming time laws to limit players from playing as they choose.

Singular centralized services are also more vulnerable than spread out in other ways.

Fantastic News, I hope they have more plans to asess market interest and offer sales and shipping to more countries aswell, or at the very least target different regions over the world.

I have heard stories about Canadians driving 6+ hours and crossing the border to get their Valve Index due to the limited sales locations.

This is exciting, getting the game into as many hands as possible is always great news for open source games.

Some of us were there, it was glorious.

This art style and game type is getting me like dangling a shiny in front of a kitty. This is going high up on my radar.

Let me know when the Linux version drops I'm totally buying it. I hope it plays as good as it looks because then I might find something SC-BWish but new and refreshed without any of the Activision taint.

I love how they applied the formula instead of trying to adapt of change the formula. This style of graphics is a style and it looks executed amazingly and with major appeal.

Why do I get the feeling Nvidia is trying to step up their Linux game after AMD ate their dinner and got the Google Stadia contract.

Poor bastards are fighting the inevitable pentecostal shouting for a open source driver.

I smell bullshit. Just bump the game to 2019.3 only for the Linux branch compile and release.

Fixing issues as you go is okay, not realeasing for their linux backers is NOT. Linux gamers are not as finicky as win and mac they greatly underestimate us. They owe their backers and need to do their best and then release whatever they have.
