Arrrgh. They need to fix that damned pipe attack animation. Nobody swings anything with a two-handed grip spaced so far apart like that.

How many downvotes would be possible and how would that affect the rating on Steam? Something I'm super curious about now.

Does anyone remember when Sony got sued for removing OtherOS support? Shouldn't that set precedent for suing others who remove support *after the fact*?

Damn! I still have some of those cards somewhere. And I've still got a Mutant Chronicles RPG book I've had since late '90s. The art is really good stuff.

Quoting: tmtvl*sigh* The state of Linux gaming...

GOG is DRM free, but doesn't support Linux with its client.
Steam heavily supports Linux, but are very DRM... though not as much as Stadia.
Itch is wonderful, but is very lacking in many different genres.

Oh well, it's the dawn of a new decade, who knows what the 2020's will bring.

Quoting: Sir_DiealotAs I have recently spent way too much time on this crap (getting a laptop with Optimus™ to work properly) I wonder, what's the difference between this and optimus-manager? Does it achieve the same performance or is it as poor as primerun or bumblebee?

I compared running with direct Nvidia and Nvidia prime off-load a week ago. It's pretty much exactly the same.

The Gnome work the article mentions is intending to make use of the Nvidia prime offload the drivers provide (and perhaps a bit more so that the driver can be unloaded to switch off cards without DRI3 PM).

finally awesome work from berarma and aeikum

A side-note: If you have a G920 wheel, you will need to use kernel 5.4.x plus, or 4.9 and lower. FFB and some other stuff broke around 5.1 series. You will alos need to do a steam --reset after upgrading the kernel..
