Quoting: elmapuli think we should let the fight against drm with the windows users, while we fight for linux marketshare, we can join they in their fight later on, but we dont have enough people/resources to fight in both fronts at the same time run today, live to fight tomorrow.

The thing is, if I was of the mindset that was okay with DRM solutions, I would not be using Linux in the first place. Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

As a demonstration I recorded a video of all the Blood demos being playing with DOSBox Staging at 640x480 using the GOG.com wrapper and OpenGL output for showing the framerate with Gallium HUD:

Just gave this a try and for Build Engine games it is so much better than mainline DOSBox. I was able to get a stable +60 FPS in Blood at 640x480 which looks glorious on my ViewSonic Q71 16" CRT. And the CD music loops properly now and has a working volume slider. Even 1280x1024 was achieving a playable +30 FPS in Blood. A massive improvement.

Quoting: XenanthropyConveniently, Frictional has decided to delete their forums so I can't browse that thread to try to find a solution

I also changed the main article to use the Internet Archive link.

Oh no, don't go giving them any ideas ;)

You are in the UK, you will be a fine. It was quite a shock for my employer's father when he first moved to Canada from England and left his hives unguarded.

Strangely enough I was too busy actually beekeeping in September so this slipped my notice back then.

QuoteIt's simply wonderful as you run around collecting and breeding bees to build up an apiary ... being completely charmed by its wonderful non-violent gameplay that sees you keep an eye on one of nature's most important insects.

Just for reference, I already own the Royal Edition of Pillars of Eternity. Is there any difference between that and the Definitive Edition?

Quoting: tonRLiam (or anyone). Is running Windows XP on virtualization software considered as dual boot? May need to run XP to use Nokia PC suite for set up old Nokia S40 phone.

I don't make the rules, but my opinion would be that day-to-day active virtualization should count as dual-boot but also you shouldn't count it as a dual-boot if you just briefly touch a Windows system. So if it's just a matter of setting up a phone and you aren't actually using that XP system for anything else, I wouldn't count it.

Especially since this is a gaming oriented survey and you are not using the VM for gaming.

I actually needed the reminder to change my hardware information for once. So thanks.
