Quoting: Brokatt

Quoting: JarmerThis is so sad. I absolutely loved the Shadowrun games. I hope that somehow, some way, at some time, the veterans behind those games get together and do another in that universe.

Funny enough, it was Paradox's predatory scam dlc behavior that prevented me from purchasing Lamplighter. So maybe HBS can pick up and move to a better home!

Why? There's only a digital artbook and soundtrack available as DLC.
...

And a separate character in the nocturne dlc. A single one.

Quoting: Thibug...

I 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 suspect that we will see less of the "old-style" exclusivity deals, where epic gives a bag of money for exclusivity. In that case this new deal could be a cost-cutting measure compared to the old situation.

Of course, that still doesn't solve the problem of epic somehow managing to forget that they need to retain all those grumbling customers.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAre there any clues as to what D.O.R.F. stands for, if anything?

Dumb Over the top Real-time Fighting?

I like the gameplay videos of this much better than those from the rts that is to be published by embracer. Can't quite put my finger on as to why.

Quoting: SalvatosI'm confused on two points.

2. Isn't Game Pass essentially a game streaming service?

If I remember correctly, it does include game streaming. However, like microsoft's other subscriptions, it is primarily one where the software is downloaded and run locally.

QuoteYou'll also get a a "Raspberry Pi-optimised" version of Mozilla Firefox, that brings with it enabled V4L2 codec support for better video performance, support for Widevine DRM for video streaming services and work on enabling cameras for video calling.

That's a pretty huge deal for the "desktop replacement" crowd.

For me, this, together with the better pi5 performance, basically means that I can stop complaining about how lenovo's keyboards are getting worse and worse and go for a tex shinobi with pi5, power bank, and portable screen when my good old t420 dies.

Quoting: KimyrielleAhh, the joy of seeing good news, even in this time and age.

Provisionally good news for the indie gaming space.

However, still need to keep an eye on where he's going next. Not to mention that unity software itself still needs fundamental changes, not the least of which are that they still haven't fully abandoned the stupid pay-per-installs and them not having sworn off their malware producing acquisition.

Quote... as they continue "investing in the next evolution of Epic and growing Fortnite as a metaverse-inspired ecosystem for creators".
...

In other, more accurate, words: implement paid mods, slap on the "metaverse" label, and hope no one notices the bovine excrement in the press-releases/shareholder-reports.

Looks interesting, but not a fan of the increased power demands. Having to get a new (more expensive?) adapter and more powerful cooling worsens the value proposition generation by generation.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI do agree, (at least for me personally,) I would have gladly traded for a m.2 2230. Maybe it's not small enough? The microSD feels like a relic from times past, still I see their thought process in if it's not broke, don't fix it -- because fans are used to it.

It's got pcie2.0, so we should be seeing cases with m.2 or sata hat integrated. Similar to the current crop of pi4 cases with usb3 to m.2/sata convertors, but without the external usb bridge connector.

Quoting: GeamanduraI'm a bit sad MonoGame didn't get a little bit of that huge cash drop from Re-logic that the other projects did, I understand it's somewhat of a sibling of FNA and they also carry a lot of indie gaming weight, and it feels a bit sad, but fair play to the others though, free money is free money and can only be grateful to Re-logic.

I just have a bad feeling some devs of MonoGame might just be forced to go where the money is now (FNA).

Re-logic plans on supporting monogame at the same level once the foundation has been set up.
