FWIW, 555.42.02 is in the fedora-multimedia repo. Haven't really messed with it much (I'm still on 39; need to upgrade to 40 for explicit sync support), but I do see that nvidia-settings is still quite limited on Wayland... not that I really use it for anything, but it's an indicator that Wayland isn't quite a first class citizen yet.

I already had half of the games in the bundle, but I like supporting NightDive remasters (and GOL!), even if they have been blowing it on Linux versions lately. Plus, the full bundle is still cheaper than the lowest ever price on Turok 3.

Never heard of PO'ed before, but it certainly looks like it's from the era of bad Doom clones. The 10% discount isn't exactly enticing. :-D

QuoteHere you just end up talking to everyone possible, which you probably wouldn't do in other similar RPGs.

Apparently we play our games quite differently.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: Chrisznixa 2d DF-like game

Over the last few years I have been gradually acquiring a pet peeve about the use of acronyms for this kind of thing. The assumption that everyone will get it is generally not accurate (e.g. I have no idea what DF is here).

I assume it refers to Dwarf Fortress; that seems to be a "big name" in the genre.

I agree that the animated trailer looks cool, but I'm not sure what the point of it is? The gameplay trailer is more representative of the actual game, right? Are there animation sequences similar to the animated trailer in the game at all?

Quoting: Mountain Man

QuoteIt of course doesn't supply the assets needed to play the game, you need to buy a copy of Majora's Mask yourself.

Right, "buy". ((nudge nudge wink wink))

Looks like it's actually available to buy on Amazon, but at "collectible" pricing. Not exactly suitable for casual interest. Wouldn't it be grand if Nintendo officially cooperated with these projects, and sold digital ROM images? They probably think "that makes it easy to pirate" but there's plenty of evidence that piracy becomes largely irrelevant once there is a good, legal service available (Steam, Netflix, Spotify, etc.).

Quoting: R3BiRtHthe seemingly intented purpose for the device to be the standard "lowest common denominator" target for developers to make sure their games are ready to be supported for handheld gaming PC's.

Does anyone actually view it that way? It sure seems superior in many ways to most of the competition.

Quoting: Penglingthese figures from 2016 painting a rather sad picture, along with a note that by 2014, tablets accounted for 40% of the home-computing market.

I don't know if there are newer stats available, but anecdotally I think tablet use peaked around then, and has declined a lot since.

Edit: here's some recent browser stats, which have it at around 2%

I didn't look exhaustively, but I think it peaked at less than 7%

And was already on the decline when mobile overtook desktop

Quoting: whizseMicrosoft did buy Mono (well, Xamarin the developer) and also subsequently started open sourcing .NET. That seems to have blurred the lines somewhat between Mono and "offical" .NET.

Yes; Mono is dead, but was a success, because .NET is now officially cross-platform. Microsoft recognized where the cloud money is at, and Azure and .NET are both more Linux-oriented these days. Of course, they also have WSL to try and keep some people on Windows...
