  • Sounds good overall, but I hope that frequently dropping small updates doesn’t discourage them from also working on bigger features. Stuff like the world generation overhaul from the Caves & Cliffs update.

    I do also find it confusing that they are bringing a native PS5 version but absolutely no word on an Xbox Series version? This is a Microsoft published game, and they don’t have a version for their four year old flagship console lol.

    Not that it matters to me, I’m a Java edition player now and forever, but I do still find it strange.










  • About a year ago I tried switching to Linux and used Linux Mint exclusively for about a month and a half.

    I have multiple monitors with different refresh rates, one 144hz and a 60hz monitor. The problem is that the compositor runs at the lower of the two, for both monitors. In theory it should be possible for a full screen app like a game to bypass the compositor completely, but I could never get that to actually work, games running in both exclusive full screen and borderless were kneecapped to 60hz video output because I had the audacity to have a secondary monitor connected. But even if that did work correctly, regular desktop use would still be kneecapped. Admittedly not as important, but still annoying. I ended up having to use a hacky config tweak to force the compositor to run at 144hz, which worked but also caused tearing on my secondary monitor.

    On top of that, X11 straight up does not support VRR / G-sync if you have more than one monitor. And HDR? Completely unsupported.



  • I have to go with Chicory: A Colourful Tale. It starts of kind of slow, but the writing and character interactions sucked me in with heavy themes of self doubt and searching for a place in society, which are very well implemented in my opinion.

    There are many games that are about overcoming depression as an overall theme, but it’s usually represented in a very metaphorical way and in doing so they kind of lose impactfulness, at least for me. Not here, Chicory straight up has depression, and you’re trying to help her out.

    The game also has pleasant art and music, and it cleverly pokes at you to be creative at various points. It actually got me to buy a cheap drawing tablet and start playing around with art haha.

    Overall just a really well made game that resonated with me on a level that no other game has.
