This is just a blatantly wrong conspiracy, it’s just that companies don’t think there are enough players on Linux to justify working on and maintaining a Linux version of the anticheat. It’s not that deep.

Yeah. How would you tell if someone is cheating or just really good at aiming?

That’s unfair, but you don’t see them complaining about it.

Smurfing is a widely known issue and pretty much every competitive game tries to ban people they know are smurfing or boosting multiple accounts.

That’s not what cheaters do. They often buy smurf accounts or earn money to boost other people’s accounts to high ranks.

They can also just turn on the cheat when they start losing, you can’t detect server-side wether someone got a lucky shot or if they had aimbot on that masks it as a mouse.

Nice of them regardless, but I totally agree. The playdate is a neat toy but it’s wild how successful they are considering it costs $230 and most games on it are paid. You could buy a similarly neat retro handheld for only $50!

Nah. Even someone who has never used another editing app would realize the UX is terrible, and it’s harder to do basic things than it should be. There’s too much stuff on screen and the UI looks terrible.

Audacity isn’t a DAW, it’s an audio editor which makes it very different from Reaper.

Audacity isn’t a fully fledged DAW, it’s an audio editor that’s mostly for recording, making quick edits, or fixing up audio. I don’t think it’s really possible to use it in music production yet.

There were UI improvements

Barely. It’s the same old terrible UI and needs a complete overhaul.

When you start the app for the first time it asks if you want to enable anonymous telemetry, but otherwise I don’t think it sends anything.

Every now and then Anbernic just throws a curveball and makes a weird device nobody really wants, this being one of them. I don’t really understand the choice to make it 16:9 considering the only 16:9 system it can run is the PSP, and it’s not strong enough for anything even resembling PS2 with widescreen hacks.

It’ll probably go on big sales like other Anbernic stuff soon enough, might find it even going down to $100 on AliExpress or something by the end of the year. But still, it’s just an awkward little device.

Also, it’s 100% free to play - you don’t even need to own Quake. I totally recommend trying it out, just download the standalone version here.

The link still asks for a login to redeem the gift article, but I’m reading the text you posted now. Thanks :)

It only shows the first 3 paragraphs or so before asking me to subscribe. Ah well, the gameplay drops on youtube a few hours from now anyway.

Anybody have a version of the article that doesn’t need signing in?

It got a visual refresh not too long ago, but this seems to be a lot bigger with some actual gameplay changes like a reworked skill tree and updated combat.

Retroachievements isn’t really the right service for this, it was mostly made for consoles that don’t have achievements having them added with user-made sets. It doesn’t really make sense for them to also be hosting consoles that already come with achievement support.

Very nice that this game is coming back in some capacity but I was really hoping for some kind of remake or real remaster. From what I can tell this is the same game packaged and running on an emulator.

I’m surprised it didn’t happen earlier. Fighting games are such a crowded market these days. Just these last few months you have 2XKO, Invincible VS, Avatar Legends all flopping hard.
