Quoting: yndoendoWant a fold-able laptop. I would most likely bit the bullet and pay the Windows tax for Asus Zenbook 14 Flip OLED with AMD Ryzen APU.

Still hope non-Windows OEM comes out with a decent AMD fold-able. Intel is in my do not buy category when they pushed out 13 & 14 GEN CPU they knew where bad just to go to market with a product. They are the Boeing of the computing industry. If it's Intel I ain't buying.

If you're in the EU, you should be able to get a refund for that Windows tax, if they don't directly offer it without an OS.

I'm not quite sold on this yet. The xenomorph looks pretty decent, but the graphics look a bit... odd - like they're stuck somewhere between cartoonish and realistic. I'm also confused about the tone of the game. They show off several interactions that are similar to "Alien: Isolation", but the voice-over makes it sound like "Colonial Marines".
In short, I'm just not getting a coherent sales pitch out of this.

That certainly had a few set pieces I haven't seen in a Quake mod before! Look very nice!

Also, nice choice of music used, which is "Nightmare (Ranger)" from "Arena Eternal" by Markie Music

QuoteAlso they have a refreshed logo:

Whats changed on the logo???......

The colours have been tweaked, the general shape has a smoother curve and the splash-tentacle in the middle of the dolphin is better centred. It's basically a redrawn version of the same motif.

Here they are for comparison (new on top):

Spoiler, click me

Quoting: officerniceFeedback: stop using electron.

Well good news, it's not Electron!

I agree though, electron isn't a good choice for an application of this nature.

Just for completeness, it's built with .NET / C# and they helpfully included their write-up on why they made this choice, directly in the repo.

Quoting: ElectricPrismThe use-case isn't obvious to me. Maybe I'm just tired.

So this allows you to play VR Games on Gnome Wayland? Is that it or is there something more to this like a Gnome VR Desktop or something.

That should be it, yes. Currently, starting up (e.g.) SteamVR while using Gnome on Wayland won't work, it won't pass on the display output to the VR headset; with this new work merged, it will.

Just a quick note for anyone wondering about the general support of the DRM Lease protocol: it is already supported in KDE on Wayland, as well as by wlroots-based Wayland compositors (Sway, Hyprland and LabWC). Steam has a help page with a bit more info.

Quoting: CybolicUhm, those terms.... (emphasis mine)

Surely that can't be legal? Signing over the rights to one's name, likeness and voice in perpetuity in order to enter a contest?

These are the default terms for each Gleam.io giveaway. Gleam.io is a platform for creating such giveaways and it allows for designing actions such as "record yourself saying why you love our brand best". Rest assured, nothing like that is the case here. What is collected first and foremost are emails to send info about prizes won as well as social media profile names to confirm that the action was performed (follow on Twitter etc.)

I understand the intended purpose, I'm just fairly surprised that the conditions don't say something along the lines of "shall have the right [...] to your name, [etc.] within the context of the Campaign" instead of a blanket statement that could include anything.

As someone who has never played one of these games before, I can't say that trailer did a good of convincing me to pick it up; it did leave me confused though, so that's something!
