The unknown fate of Legio IX Hispana is a mystery in the public domain, but linking it to Arthur is practically becoming a staple of the Arthur legend at this point.

The game is set to launch in February 2023

Looking forward to it?

maximizing revenue with minimal investment.

Pioneers in a field always want to do something more, like make great art, or change the world, or prove that computers aren’t just for nerds. But eventually, every pioneering success turns into maximizing output while minimizing input.

Thus now with games. The bigger the budget, the more the aversion to any risk whatsoever. Publishers all want to leave the risk-taking to others, then when the idea is proven, they’ll just copy it.

Just like the tech companies, all copying each other. Microsoft is making hardware like Apple, has a search engine like Google, has cloud infrastructure like Amazon, AR like Facebook, a game console like Sony, and a game portal like Valve, but failed to make a smartphone like Google and Apple.

Signs point to yes.

Do you have a cite for that?

Cut for the TikTok generation… yet still informative and entertaining, while respecting the views’ time.

What’s your price point? Star Labs used to have a low-price-point model that had fabulous specs for the price, and PINE64 still has their 64-bit ARM laptop for an inflation-adjusted $219 with the 1080p display, nice chassis, and good keyboard, compared to PC laptops that cost twice as much.

We have to depend on more than just libc and X11 from a given distro.

We’re not a games developer, and use a lot more C than C++, but I’ve rarely if ever seen a case of diamond dependencies in the field.

Looks very Curse of Monkey Island-y.

Thematically, rather Leather Goddesses of Phobos, I think. But that’s 1980s text, not LucasArts point-and-click.

Before flatpak container systems, it was almost impossible to ship proprietary code to Linux.

I don’t see how you mean. Adobe FrameMaker and WordPerfect word processor shipped proprietary binary code for Linux, twenty-some years ago.

You’d ship the dependencies in a bundled lib/ directory, then usually have a script to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in addition to any other setup. If, in the future, updated libraries became available, the user could easily choose to use the updated ABI-compatible versions instead. C++ ABI compatibility isn’t as good or simple as C, but it’s still possible.

Debian Testing, rather – Sid is bleeding-edge, Testing releases packages after a few weeks of confirming stability.

It’s about control. Nvidia doesn’t want the kernel driver to control Digital Rights Management, SR-IOV support, VRR, power, or any aspect that would let someone treat a consumer-market board like it was a professional-market board. They also don’t want to let their competitors benefit from anything they release, as can happen with open-source code.

3DMark Wild Life Extreme had a version working on Linux too, but it was never released.

It’s sometimes baffling how often Linux support is kept behind closed doors.

No need to yell at me “but support!” I’ve been developing cross-platform software for decades, and the claims about support burdens have never matched what I’ve seen as a developer or end-user.

As an experiment, I’m keeping the Win32 port of software I maintain, behind closed doors.

The Boiling Steam list is no more, but here’s an old thread.

The Phawx had bad compatibility with Windows games on the Go (which runs Windows) compared to the Ally.

None of the other coverage has talked about this.

Why you might want an open-source EC (Embedded Controller).

I wish Red Hat developed the Linux ecosystem as much as Valve has in the last ten years.

LTT asked Valve about VRR, and suspects that Valve is using the same vendor as Switch is using for the Switch OLED, and that’s requiring Valve to use a MIPI interface that doesn’t support VRR.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the OLED makes it to the entry-level price point in a year or two. It’s impressive that Valve is sticking with the $399 price point, despite inflation since July 2021 making that the equivalent of $450 today.

The reviewer is saying that the Steam Deck makes the best trade-offs, even if price isn’t a deciding factor.
