Quoting: kokoko3kWell judging from what i see, SWOS feels so much better...
I just played today via FS-UAE and my brand new quickshot 2 turbo hooked via an adaptor to the usb port ^_^
Also there is this: https://www.sensiblesoccer.de/swos-2020
but it seems Windows and Amiga only.

Yeah it's a bit strange that a game from 2021 with all the advanced in cpu+gpu power still is more sluggish than a game from 1992 running on a 14Mhz machine with 2MB RAM...

Quoting: LinuxerJust for the record: "Odin" is a fabricated term in the times of our forefathers' time "new normal" after some known conquests to north. The original is Oden, and Oden means the sun. Not a person to begin with.

Actually the original is a combination of Odr and ìnn (which is the equivalent to the English "the" but used as a suffix due to how the oldnorse language worked), Odr is a word that have many meanings including "mind", "spirit", "rage", "extacy", and "poetry".

In old German you have wut (meaning rage) so among the German tribes the name of Óðinn was Wutan, in Old English you have wod for rage and Oden was known as Wōden there. That two other languages and cultures refer to the same god by using the same attribute (rage) points to this being the origin and not something else.

Óðinn has never been seen as a sun god so I don't really know where you got that from? Sun-gods are connected with fertility and life and that are attributes much more akin to Frey/Freya and Thor.

Oden is a ring, Oden is the sun. The information you uphold there is indeed the altered ("falsified") and in a way personified version in the attempt to mix things, by the certain conquerors.

There are 2 base languages, from which ALL other languages came about from. Van (nowadays Finnish) and Rot (nowadays Swedish). Rot-language is the starting point, a sound system, a key system of kind, then Van-language became another level descriptive language.

Here are the keys of Rot (which are included in Van-language structure; the words' parts can be -set apart- through these to get the original meanings and how the words came to be).

A=Aser, B=Bock, C=Skära, D=Di/Dag, E=Ek, F=Frö, G=Grund, H=Hel, I=i, J=Jarlar, K=Karlar, L=Lag, M=Månen, N=Nordstjärnan, O=Oden, P=Pålen, Q=Qvadrat R=Ra, S=Solen, T=Tor, U=Ursprung, V=Vaaner, X=x Y=Yggdrasil, Z=Zeta, ÅÄÖÖ.

Tor (not "Thor") basically means a friend, a best friend. Frei and Freija, as you mentioned, then again were the first people of the planet. One plan= plan and et. Valhalla is located in Hel(sinki) and there is a museum on top of it now.

Heres a pretty good introduction to that and more: https://youtu.be/VjIgfQFTOKs

I'm truly sorry but I cannot take Jim Chesner or anything that he says seriously at all. I'll leave it at that since this is not the place to discuss things like this, way off topic.

Quoting: TcheyHum, i cannot launch any Proton games at all now, even if i change Proton version.
I click Play, and after a couple of seconds, nothing, back to click "Play".
Yesterday, no issue, and no update since then. Weird...

Tried to reboot? Sounds lame but I have had similar problems on a few occasions before and they where all solved by a reboot, not sure why but it did.

Quoting: GuestThat game sounds fun though but what i mean is in 1984, computers were already more capable than what this game suggest.

Yes, the C64 even had GEOS (even though it didn't come out until 1986 it was still running on a c64 from 1982). I got a copy of GEOS for free back in the day as compensation for a faulty disk drive. And GEOS was way more advanced than the Comet64 from the trailer :)

Quoting: dvdI do and it's not the taxes.

The whole rest of your post was reffering to taxes, so I assumed the first sentence would, too.

Quoting: dvdIt's the wonderful 'digital single market' or whatever it's called. Back before this AAA game prices on release were around what 15-20 eur cost now (kind of like the price of the game if you buy it in russia atm), and now we are paying 60 euros.

I can't say for other courties, but if I compare the prices of games in the eighties with thhose today, taking into account inflation, games are actually cheaper (here) than they used to be. (Would actually be interesting if I find my Wasteland I bill. :D )

Pretty much the same over here, taking inflation in account I paid €43 for Wasteland back in 1988 and that was for the C64 version, most likely the PC version was close to double that.

Quoting: HamishAny word on Linux support for Wasteland Remastered?

I don't think that we will ever see one, the remaster was outsourced to Krome Studios who have zero Linux experience.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleWe do. It's a DirectX 12 game because of the raytracing support. The Stadia port is Vulkan, so I guess they do have a basis upon which they could include Vulkan support on Windows with some effort, but for now it is DirectX 12.

Where has it been stated that Stadia port uses Vulkan? All I've read are peoples expectations.

Sounds like a valid expectation though since e.g the patch needed for Proton wasn't needed for it to be playable on Stadia.

Quoting: DeathByDenimBizarre, why would Moonlighter be DRM-free on Windows and macOS, but not on Linux? That makes no sense to me.

Even more so since the DRM-free version is available on GOG already...
