It looks fun but those strobe lights were really annoying. I don't think I could watch that for for more than 2 minutes.

The description and thumbnail didn't seem interesting other than the "philosophical" catch word until I watched the trailer. The pace of the action looks exciting. Looking forward to this one now.

I've never played a grid based dungeon crawler. They sort of appeal to me but sort of not. I suppose the only way to find out is to try one! This one looks more interesting to me than even Grimrock... probably for the graphic effects.

I incredibly appreciate the OBS Studio project! I remember when I used the freeware edition of Xsplit back on Windows years ago. Discovering OBS was amazing. I think it's time to donate again.

Obsidian versus Evil. I love that.

Well, I gotta say The Witcher 3... reason being it might be the best game on Earth. Every adult needs to enjoy it.

I would also love for Skyrim to come to Linux. I want to play through it again and play with mods, but I simply don't live in Windows and Skyrim is one of the games I sacrificed.

It would be really great to get one of the battle royale style games, like PUBG or Fortnite or the mod for ArmaIII, ported to Linux. We are lacking in this area.

Hellblade. I hear from friends and others that this is a really well done experience.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands and The Division. I primarily buy Ubisoft games for PS4 because they've given me bad networking troubles on Windows years ago and they rarely show up for Linux.

Dark Souls II. I've already beaten the other two on other platforms and I want to play through this one. I already own it on Steam (Windows) from a Humble Bundle.

"Aw, screw it, we'll just start calling it released." Meh. The upcoming changes should be cool.

Hey, what is the admin's player name on our Rust server?

I have this game but haven't played it yet. I did not know about the co-op addition. I will give it a go sooner than later because of that!

Quoting: 14Is your Nvidia decline prediction based on any information outside of your own preference and this website?

It's quite simple. Nvidia will never reach the level of AMD integration, because they have no interest in opening and upstreaming their driver, and AMD already caught up to Nvidia in performance. So once they'll also catch up in hardware (Vega 2 and Navi), Nvidia will have only disadvantages on Linux, so there will be an accelerating switching away from it.

In the machine learning and server AMD has advantages over Nvidia as well. Their hardware supports asynchronous compute, while Nvidia one doesn't. Also, Khronos are pushing new converged API for graphics and compute, that will combine Vulkan and OpenCL. That would basically undermine CUDA and the grip that Nvidia has over compute market, because there will be zero benefits in using CUDA vs the new portable API. AMD are on the right track to unseat Nvidia from these markets.

You're right, so the only remaining piece for Nvidia is marketing and vendor ties, which counts for something.

Disclosure: I will very likely build my next machine as all or partly AMD. I just like to play devil's advocate so I can see a confident statement backed up. I've heard people say things like, "Amazon is ruined now." Big businesses can often take more than one hit.

Again, I'm not trying to be pro big business, just trying to be realistic.

Another reason to ditch Nvidia. In a few years, Nvidia will be barely used on Linux. See the trend on the same page you linked to.

Is your Nvidia decline prediction based on any information outside of your own preference and this website? I'm wondering what your sphere of influence is.

Another thought is if GNU desktop usage gets more Windows conversions, the Nvidia stats won't go down. Not everyone is going to feel compelled to use pure OSS right off the bat. Some people just want to get off Windows.

Even if Nvidia does end up declining in the GNU desktop world, I don't predict that happening in the Linux server world where GPU's are used for machine learning and data science tasks.
