Seven does look interesting - and even better, I already have it. :)

Dark Forces Remaster is verified a full month before release? I guess that means it's done, and the next month is just for marketing (and maybe final bug fixes)?

Only game I've played recently is Marvel's Midnight Suns. Probably won't be much else for a while, unless I get distracted!

Quoting: ElectricPrismConfession through projection.

What was I confessing or projecting? I never disagreed with your point, just said it applied more widely.

Quoting: ElectricPrismCould the sub-components come from the mainland, or could there be concerns of the mainland effecting Taiwan companies? Sure -- I woulds say the same is possible for Samsung (South Korea) and LG (South Korea) the same as any other tech from the region, even Japan does manufacturing in mainland China for some things.

The same is possible for most "American" companies, like Apple.

Quoting: sonic2kkIn short, it tells games that you can enable HDR (as many games will grey out the option by default)

For those who have used it: would you say it dramatically improves the visuals in your game(s)? After playing with it on, would you be disappointed to play with it off? Just wondering if I should prioritize it as a feature next time I buy a monitor.

If this is a fork for the Steam Deck, why do they have binary releases for win and macos?

Quoting: RandomizedKirbyTree47It may just be a matter of time before a big PC game publisher decides the solution to cheating is to require you to be in "S Mode" (i.e. only have software from the Microsoft Store). That wouldn't just mean the end of WINE: It would mean the end of Steam and all other stores as distribution platforms for AAA games.

I doubt there are too many publishers who want to limit their market to people willing to get everything from the Microsoft Store. Microsoft has tried to push that many times, and it fails miserably every time.

Quoting: Expalphalog*except for using "Glorious Eggroll" - I still have absolutely no idea what that is, how to get it, or how to use it.

I used Proton Experimental for my test, but Liam has had plenty of articles about Glorious Eggroll, like this one:

Quoting: ExpalphalogI still can't get Midnight Suns to launch.

That made me curious, so I tried myself. Took a bit, but finally a 2K launcher dialog came up, saying it was updating itself. Now I have a 2K launcher window that just says "Missing games in your library? Launch the game from the platform it was installed from (Epic or Steam)". Well duh, I did that.

But after closing it, and running it again, the launcher comes up with Midnight Suns showing, with a Play button. And clicking that, the game does start. I can see pretty quickly they are monetizing on skins...

Quoting: HighballI haven't taken a look at ChromeOS at all, but I'm sure the Window Manager is just a Wayland compositor.

As pointed out in the Ars article, ChromeOS replaced X11 with their own "Freon" back in 2016. As I understand it, it required different graphics drivers from the GPU vendors. It's only very recently that they switched to Wayland.
