Ssssiiiiiiggggghhhhh
So... GOG taking a step forward with their Linux plans, then immediately slipping sideways on a banana peel and straight into a burning dumpster.

A good stew. Most expensive ingredient will be the osso-buco, or any similar meat-on-the-bone.
You cook the meat, bone and all, till the marrow melts out. Vegetables can be... Anything. One pot can last you a week and it's a real hearty meal.
It's a Hades rogue-like and a colony management game. But it's not deep on either front.
The combat and rogue elements don't come close to a dedicated rogue-like game as Hades.
The colony management doesnt come close to the depth of a dedicated management game.
It is centred around the novelty of a taboo: managing and dictating a cult. There are plenty of little things to do besides the two pillars of the game, but it doesn't take long for you to have "seen it all".
Mind you, this doesn't mean the game isn't fun. But it's very light on its individual gameplay mechanics compared to dedicated games.
I would've loved to see this game come out back then. The pearl clutching would've probably broken a few knuckles.
Fuck that. I opened the game and the first thing that came to my mind was "let's see how close I can get to a literal blood and sex cult".
Not that close, I found out.
Or at least, a very tame version of it.
People are still ordering things online. Inside works (i.e. Warehouses, factories, offices) still go on.
Then make it a week. It starts with someone. It could start with you.
Debt is not a real resource, it's a complete fabrication, and all the richest people have a value that doesn't exist in real world resources, rather a perceived agreed upon value of what their assets might cost, based on the vague idea that it will appreciate in value in the future, and the debt cycle that may continue printing money for banks.
So most money isn't based on anything. And the value of currency these days is entirely fiat.
Or more to the point; money is the problem. Currencies are useful tokens that make trade more convenient. But systems have been built around the simple concept of a trade token that a person can have power over others by just having a bigger number.
But it's just a number. Most of the time a number that doesn't even represent anything real or physical. Just a number of a hypothetical thing(s) that has a certain hypothetical value because someone said so.
Oh. So it's going to get vibe-coded. Well... Fuck.
Heroic has some issues (i.e. Stellaris) that require some sort of annoying work around that doesn't really work sometimes. GOG could not have those issues.
Heroic is limited to just GOG and Epic, while GOG Galaxy on Windows is already trying to be a sort of everything launcher. This means GOG Galaxy on Linux would be more like a replacement of Lutris (which is no longer being developed) than Heroic.

A comic in four panels:Panel 1. A dark and mystical laboratory, with shelves lined with dusty jars of oddities and strange artifacts, a dark witch, dressed in tattered black robes, is tired, her desk scattered with parchment and strange devices. She looks frustrated and confused. On a perch near to the desk stands a colorful mechanical parrot that contrast with everything.
Witch: Of course, we wanted crows, and the university gave us this...
Panel 2. Close-up on the parrot speaking cheerfully:
Parrot: :sparkle emoji: Greetings. I am a conversational Avian Intelligence model, developed by OpenMagic to assist you with your spells. Parrot: What can I help with?
Panel 3. The witch's face looks at the mechanical bird with annoyance.
Witch: "Shut up, you... thing."
Panel 4. The parrot continues. The witch now have her face against the desk.
Parrot: :sparkle emoji: I apologize, but I won't engage in conversations with hurtful language. Can I assist you with something else?

Can't use Intel Arc A770 GPU in Blender 4.5.2 LTS despite having the latest packages installed
(lemmy.world)
Operating System: Bazzite (Linux)
GPU: Intel Arc A770
Tried with both Flatpak Blender 3D and from Blender.org directly. Same result.
works in Blender 4.2.10 LTS, except for Embree.
My work on Project Mata Nui Rising (where I contribute as an environmental artist) inspired me to also make this. I'll be making a few more cool renders with this guy, (hopefully collabing with someone who can do way better box-art). For this render I chose to copy the original set's box-art (To make the background I took the original image and crudely blotted-out the LEGO set).
