Epic Games' new exclusive deal gives devs 100% for 6 months
23 August 2023 at 9:06 pm UTC Likes: 2

While i still despise artificial exclusivity, 6 months is not that bad. I mean, for many games that is about the time it takes to go from beta ("Release") to a somewhat finished state, so...

The first word that comes to my mind: deserved ;)

Modrinth announce their Minecraft launcher is now in Beta
8 August 2023 at 6:26 am UTC

Quoting: StalePopcornReason, I've got to login to my micro crap account every time I launch the damned thing and am wondering if it's a permissions issue

Haven't tried modrith yet (but surely will, when the next round of Minecraft is on), but at least for other Launchers in Flatpak i never experienced that. Might still be the case of course.

Besides that, are you sure you are using the Modrinth launcher? I can only find jdMrpackInstaller on flathub when searching for it?

Although it looks cool: never again will i buy any keyboard with proprietary software/drivers. QMK/VIA is the way to go.

Every bit of progress is good, but as long as they force this abomination of a 3rd party launcher down my throat, they can go rot in hell...

Tencent to get a majority stake in Dying Light dev Techland
26 July 2023 at 8:24 am UTC

Quoting: Guesthow exactly is Tencent "shady"? They are one of the most hands off publishers on the market. If anything, thats a boon for techland

The fact that they interfere so little is part of the 'shady' bit, even if it seems like a better approach than what EA and others are doing. But if a company (seemingly) only throws money somewhere without any obvious motivation and action behind it, one starts to wonder what those motivations might be. Best case: they are the only company that is fine with a positive ROI instead of being greedy and striving to squeeze out every last bit of (im)possible growth. But it's hard to believe such a company exists...

I get the need for publishers/investors. But i won't pretend it is a good idea to consolidate the whole market into two or three big players. And that is not even considering the shady nature of Tencent. So...thumbs down from me...

ΔV: Rings of Saturn is a game for real space nerds - out now
22 July 2023 at 9:10 am UTC

This should be exactly the game for me. But unfortunately the demo never really clicked for me - i like the flight model and the atmosphere, but the rest didn't get me. One of these days i'll maybe find the time to try and watch some tutorial video ^^

But the accessibility really isn't it's strong point ;)

Nevertheless, congratulations to 1.0, thanks for supporting Linux and respect for keeping at it! :D

I really liked the demo and plan on grabbing it some day (i try to limit my purchases to games i immediately plan to play and rather strip down my pile of shame ^^) - but of course i wouldn't object winning a key :)
