Total War: WARHAMMER II for Linux gets the latest big patch
2 February 2022 at 9:00 am UTC

Quoting: devlandIt seems they forgot to update the version number on Linux.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
Welcome to the Feral experience...

Quoting: whizseAlso, they totally need to add some effects to have the Roomba smear blood all over the floor when its done killing - to make it officially dope!
How has the military not yet come up with a weaponized Roomba? It makes more sense than anyone would like to admit.

Just yesterday I set up my new PC with an AMD CPU and (also! haha) a Radeon RX 6800 XT and... after 8+ years of only using Nvidia, it feels so weird to not install any graphics card drivers as they just come with the kernel (amdgpu)...

Wine manager Bottles has a big new release with major overhauls
30 January 2022 at 7:46 am UTC

Quoting: NociferIf the Bottles system can't maintain the same level of functionality and credibility, then the Bottles system kind of fails. What I'm saying is that it needs much more love than it's currently getting, and sometimes the work that needs to be done is more complex than simply writing a .yml file.
On one hand, you're right.
We've all seen lots of systems that tried to reinvent the wheel but ultimately hit the same roadblocks the "original" wheels met and started to implement similar workarounds, ending up not much better, making a point for why reinventing the wheel was pointless to begin with.

On the other hand, you can do pretty much anything with .yml files, including more complex logic.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to e.g. even write bash code (or Python, or whatever else can be parsed&executed at runtime) if it really was necessary for some use cases.

The real problem is adaptation and maintenance. If the main maintainer for winetricks stepped down, someone else is almost sure to take over.
Not sure what the situation would be with Bottles.
Personally, I strongly avoid using software that only has one main contributor. Been burned by that too often.

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem is out, run it on Linux with one small change

I'm just glad something good came out of SS4 after the monumental disappointment that it was in pretty much all regards.

Somehow, Croteam just lost their magic between SS2 and SS3. No idea what happened there.

This standalone expansion, however, is pretty amazing and it shows it was developed by people who actually understood what made SS great to begin with.

Game devs don't seem convinced on the Steam Deck from the GDC 2022 survey

Quoting: kuhpunktI'd really like to see/know who those devs even are. 40% are developing for Oculus? No way this is representative.
GDC in general is not too representative of anything.
It is very much a circlejerk of the usual suspects that like to flock to these kinds of "events" - with the odd quite useful and interesting talk being held.
Not much different than any event of that kind in any industry, really.

I wouldn't put too much into "consensus" information gathered from that limited pool.

Total War: WARHAMMER III gets a short hype-trailer for The Daemon Prince

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThis guy seems kinda vanilla for Warhammer. I guess you have to have someone like that, though.
Mechanics-wise, as least from what I heard/read, your leader for Chaos Undivided is customizable (to some extent). So the default template looking vanilla does make some sense.
