I'm sorry but that's not a durability test. Never in day to day use would you put a cutter to it and start hacking away. That video is part of a niche segment on youtube that revolves around destroying popular objects/devices. The cringe element is intended and it drives views. Nobody watches that for the "durability" aspect.

Cloud gaming makes as much sense as working full time in the metaverse with a headset on your face all day. It doesn't. Never has.

If you can afford a fast and stable internet connection then you can afford a console or medium end PC.

The funny thing is that, after updating the game on steam (a 650 MB download), the game still shows version 1.12.0 when launched.
The patch seems to be there since some issues I've known about are now fixed. For example, you no longer see a redundant unit type circle toggle when recruiting wight kings for vampire counts. This is listed in the patch notes.
It seems they forgot to update the version number on Linux.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Great news but it seems from the graphs that they're biased towards Linux themselves. The numbers float around 5 and 6% yet the bars do not reflect that. I remember back when nvidia pulled this trick to showcase some performance boost people got really angry.

I trust KDE. They deliver a strong yet friendly DE. Having better default settings fixes the complexity problem while also allowing power users to customize whatever they want. This has been happening for some time now as I've been on KDE for a few years. They don't always get it right the first time but it's going in the right direction in the long run.

Quoting: inlinuxdudeIt's hard to take this seriously when the narrator misprounces the title of "Nadir" muliple times... :( (I mean its their game, so they can pronounce the mythical city in it how they'd like, but its obviously based on our word nadir, so it would be much less jarring if the narrator would just use a common pronunciation)

It's a game. Taking it seriously isn't mandatory and if you do, you need to suspend your disbelief and get over minor details like this because you're, probably, part of a small group of people that think that way. Characters in games mispronounce things all the time while also being inconsistent. I've heard "Athel Loren" pronounced in a number of ways by characters in Warhammer 2, yet I'm not fazed about it. If anything, you can attribute it to the inevitable cultural differences that might exist between the fictional factions within the game. The same or something similar can be applied here.

Also, you don't know what the word is based on and assuming otherwise is baseless. I dodn't even know what "your word" refers to so it's not that common as you thought. The disambiguation on wikipedia has about a dozen entries.

Steam sucks for having such a high rate but "Epic fixing it for all gamers" is bullshit. They'd kill to be in the same position as Valve. Their exclusives are
as anti-competitive as you can get.

Mark my words. They're down the bait and switch path as every other player who's trying to fight the market big player just so they can become it.

These things usualy happen to games that have shitty devs. And this case isn't an exception.
