Just putting a post here to say that I have a 1080Ti and my next card will not be nVidia. Also unlikely to upgrade in the near future.
Probably looking to the next-after-next AMD cards, but still keeping an eye on Intel. :)

Isometric university management game 'UniverCity' has entered Early Access, developed on Linux

Very rough Early Access title, no sound for me and crashes on exit. Still enjoyed its laid back gameplay and I hope it doesn't go hardcore tycoon with 5 gazillion micromanagment features. :)

Quoting: GuestMeh. I could say a lot about this, but I don't know if care anymore.

Quoting: monkygames<all companies> should be doing honest business and not harmful business practices such as Gambling Loot Boxes.
There, fixed that for ya. ;)
I agree with you btw. Loot boxes is poison...

Anyway, making easy money is difficult (oh noes the pun!) unless you understand the basic core principle of humans; people are stupid. When you throw away scruples and ethics, exploiting this fact becomes a matter or having deep enough pockets to stuff the money into.
Is it wrong to design and/or provide a desirable, potentially addictive product, then extract monetary profit from it? Problematic subject considering how humans are inherently susceptible to addiction. :S:

Some governments (NL, BE) do take issue with these pseudo-gambling-esque mannerisms and ban/regulate them.

Quoting: GuestI hear that...to deal with ARMA atm they expect you to have a steam account, bohemia account, a discord account and a kitchen sink account...so sick of all these sign ups I want to play a F'ing game not be some social media diversity king.
Amen to that. I really have no idea how many hundreds of accounts I have nowadays... it is complete madness.

Interested, but not interested enough to join yet another Discord so a small note here will suffice.

Really not into card games, still happy for Linux support!

Valve missed a golden opportunity here to troll the gaming world.
Imagine the SteamOS/Linux version being released a week earlier than the Windows version. Imagine the sadness/madness/badassness!
Imagine that becoming the gold standard for Valve releases; Linux first. :P

Or... HalfLife 3 - the world's first Linux exclusive AAA title! /runs away screaming

Very interesting talk, although the only topic with any substance was the stuttering situation. Really looking forward to this (r)evolution!

Univer... city... Hah! That's clever, I like it already. :)
Adding to my list of gonna-gets-maybes. Here's hoping for piranha-moats and brittle shark tanks so the students may get what they deserve some wee fish to look at between countless partys study sessions. ;)
