Steam is dropping support for Ubuntu, but not Linux entirely (Update: Ubuntu support continues)
https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-is-dropping-support-for-ubuntu-but-not-linux-entirely/
Update: In a post on the official Steam for Linux community, a Valve developer said that Steam will likely continue to support Ubuntu. The reversal came after Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu Linux, said they would continue to support select 32-bit packages on upcoming versions of the Ubuntu desktop OS.
"We're still not particularly excited about the removal of any existing functionality," the developer wrote, "but such a change to the plan is extremely welcome, and will allow us to continue to work towards improvements in the Steam distribution model without causing new headaches for users. Given the information we have on this new approach so far, it seems likely that we will be able to continue to officially support Steam on Ubuntu."

Wolfenstein: Youngblood, the upcoming FPS about girls, guns, and the things they do to Nazis, will be the first game in the long-running series to be released uncensored in Germany. Previous games in the series (and others) have had to scrub Nazi imagery in order to comply with German laws, but a change implemented in 2018 enabled the country's USK rating agency to consider games on a case-by-case basis.

The Steam Summer Sale Grand Prix game is confusing the hell out of everyone
https://www.pcgamer.com/steam-grand-prix/
Like some past sales, the Steam Summer Sale includes a metagame: everyone on Steam joins one of five teams and attempts to boost their chosen animal in a race by spending money and completing quests. At 10 am Pacific each day, random members of the top three teams receive games on their wishlists.
It sounds simple enough, but earlier today I noticed that the Steam subreddit is full of memes about how busted the game has been. After looking more closely at the rules, I realized how comically confusing the Grand Prix really is.

A Way Out developer Hazelight Studios is working on a new game, but so far it's only been teased by studio head Josef Fares and, for now, remains a mystery. What it definitely isn't, he said, is a sequel to the co-op criminal caper, though you can expect some familiar bits and bobs.

Field of Glory: Empires' new trailer is narrated in Latin
https://www.pcgamer.com/field-of-glory-empires-new-trailer-is-narrated-in-latin/
Field of Glory: Empires, Ageod's classical grand strategy game, will unleash players on the map of antiquity next month, and to get prospective armchair consuls up to speed, there's a video that breaks breaks down all the empire building and empire smashing. It's also in Latin.

I suppose I'll get a GTX 1660 or 1660 Ti.

That's quite solid upgrade, around 3x higher frame rate (1660ti) at same settings compared to 950.

Not much is going to materially change from now to next year so at the end of the day the majority of households even in the western world aren't going to have 4K displays ... 

Seeing as how Turing struggles to just even do 2 RT lighting effects in modern games, it's a high probablity that Navi will almost certainly fall short of being able to do full scene RT if it even get's close to that ... 

In fact, AMD are counting on cloud gaming to be able to do full scene RT ...

Aiming 4K is not worth it when being able to do RT as much as possible on the most common resolution is a more valuable selling point ... 

Let's just get this out of the way, compression algorithms are NOT the panacea that you're looking for ... 

Yes, I acknowledge that there is a market for 4K content but there's a distinction between demand for downlinking 4K content and demand for uplinking 4K content. For the former, there might be some value in downloading 4K but that doesn't mean we should conflate it with uploading 4K content ...

In reality, upload speeds are going to be far worse for anyone trying to do real-time 4K video uploads. Pursuing interactive 4K content isn't compelling when bottlenecks are going to occur elsewhere such as the display resolution or the uplink speeds ... 

The western world should pursue having 4K displays and high internet speeds first before console manufacturers commit to making interactive 4K content ... 

It matters not if Nvidia does or doesn't target the PC market with Tegra. It still demonstrates my point that an integrated graphics solution can't coincide too early with a discrete graphics solution ... 

As for Intel, they intentionally decide to keep their GPU design team lockstep with their CPU design team since the former didn't have much of an opportunity to design discrete solutions so it's not as if they're a relevant example ... 

Would've it have made you happy if AMD decided to delay the launch of Navi with their APUs (bad move regardless) or delay Matisse (would've been a disaster) altogether to be more like Intel ? 

Given that Ice Lake looks to have a moderately higher IPC with nearly as aggressive clocks as last generation, I think AMD made the right call to launch products whenever the design teams were ready instead of having to delay everything until there other products were ready ... 

When AMD or Nvidia have nearly independent CPU and GPU design teams, the launch of an integrated solution is ALWAYS going to be staggered so if you don't see Nvidia delaying the launch of their discrete graphics card with their Tegra products then the same should apply to AMD. It's not at all a rational decision to delay launches just to coincide with other products in the future ... 

Planning ahead in advance is not good enough when engineers end up having to wait for the finished designs regardless and then integrate them together ...

Name an Empire of Sin character and win the Paradox Collection on Steam
https://www.pcgamer.com/name-an-empire-of-sin-character-and-win-the-paradox-collection-on-steam/
Empire of Sin was hiding something in its announcement trailer that the normally eagle-eyed denizens of the internet failed to spot. The mobster strategy game's trailer features a shootout where a bottle of Romero's Rye gets shattered by a bullet. It's hiding a URL.
If you hop on over to romerosrye.com, you won't be able to get any booze, but you will find Brenda Romero trapped behind a bar in Galway. And she's got a character that needs a name.
He'll be a playable character and a ruthless mobster, apparently, and while only one person will get to see their naming skills immortalised in-game, the top ten suggestions will also net their creators the Paradox Interactive Collection, made up of every single Paradox game on Steam. That's almost $1,000 of games.

https://www.pcgamer.com/the-steam-summer-sale-may-have-caused-a-wishlist-purge-and-indie-devs-are-worried/
The Steam Summer Sale Grand Prix game is confusing the hell out of everyone, and in more ways than we initially understood. Not only is the game itself a boggler, but a number of indie developers are complaining today that their games are being deleted from Steam wishlists in large numbers. Some are speculating that this is because users have misunderstood the contest and are trying to maximize the possibility of winning specific games on their lists.

More accurately, it sounds like it: The music that plays when King Togwaggle lifts the card in the video is taken from 2015's League of Explorers expansion. (Take a listen if you don't believe me.)

Bungie is finally going to fix Destiny 2's Menagerie loot chest exploit
https://www.pcgamer.com/bungie-is-finally-going-to-fix-destiny-2s-menagerie-loot-chest-exploit/
It didn't take players long to notice that something funky was up with Destiny 2's Menagerie, the six-person activity added to the game in the Season of Opulence. When players reach the end of the activity, they open the final chest and receive their big reward—but instead of getting a "well done" and a kick to the Tower, a five-minute timer continues to count down, enabling them to run out of the area, re-slot the runes into their chalice, and then run back to the chest to open it again and claim another reward. The process can be repeated multiple times, which can really cut down on the grind.

I don't see what's so scary about a pizza restaurant (except for the thought of ordering a salad in one), but both Five Nights at Freddy's and now No Delivery seem to see the greasy discs as emblems of purest evil. No Delivery is partly a horror game, partly an RPG, and sort of a roguelike set in a procedurally generated pizza restaurant full of shuffling monsters.

That's all for this weekend. Have a happy and gaming weekend.

I'm already fed up of seeing devs whining about wishlists. I removed a whole bunch of games and then added plenty of new stuff and it has nothing to do with the Summer Event, As far as I'm concerned the wishlist exists as a tool for consumers and not a piece of data that developers use to throw their arms up at every time they don't like something.

Indeed.

While I mostly put games on my wishlist that I want to get sooner or later, the fact is that some are there just because I'll get an alert if they go down in price. Otherwise, they'd be on the followinf list.

And don't kid ourselves, there's a lot of people that have a huge amount of games on their wishlist because anything that they like ends up there. I remember Basil used to have hundreds of games on his wishlist.

Beyond: Two Souls also seems to be a good PC port.

An i3-8100 and a GTX 1060 gives you solid 60fps in 2560x1440p resolution and 45 - 55 fps in 4K: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLgJTCkDbGE

The PS4 version only runs in solid 30 fps in 1920x1080p resolution and there was never a PS4 Pro patch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmrxUziwS80

And thank god the aggressive motion blur they added to the PS4-version (3:45 - 4:45 of the Digital Foundry video) and DOF are optional in the PC version! This blurry sh*t made me prefer even my PS3-version over my PS4-version despite its aliasing-problems and lower resolution.
