Right, that's why I'm not convinced this will ever actually release.

Abandoning all previous work, and the fact that new devs don't exactly have experience with this genre...
I'm still gonna give it a try, but I'm not hopeful.

I'm surprised it's not cancelled yet.

I think at this point its development is even more troubled than the original, which is kinda impressive in its own way.

That's not really on Valve though.

It's the hardware makers that needs to step up and make sure their Linux drivers are well written.

I'm tired of having to install patched kernels to get basic functionality on laptops (looking at you Asus!).

What an asshole.

Sideberry really is amazing. So good I could never switch to another browser if it meant abandoning it.

I'd mention that if they allowed me to even access the front page from my country. :)

Japanese publishers' idea of fighting against manga piracy: kill all legal options and launch their own website that is only available in USA (kmanga).

Gee, I wonder why that didn't work!

I don't think so. Maybe they'll have something new for the next Nintendo Switch?

In fact, the Shield is using the same chip as the Switch (same for the newer revisions).

It's supposed to use S905X3 with ARM Cortex-A55.

There's already plenty of devices on the market with this chip, and it's fine, but in real world as a user you won't really see any improvement over something like a nearly 10 year old Nvidia Shield that's still using a more powerful chipset.

Which is sad for a new device...

They're supposedly using pretty much the same chipset. So the most important part is still underpowered, these Android boxes generally work fine even with 2-3GBs of RAM.

Did anyone ask for a reboot anyway? I just want a proper finale to what we already have...

I don't have QSV or NVENC hardware to compare, but AMD is perfectly fine in most cases.
I mostly noticed quality drop with very busy scenes and some scene transitions.
Outside of those the quality was acceptable.

I'd say on my setup it's comparable to software encoding with x264 veryfast preset.

And my GPU is 5 years old now, so I'm sure newer cards have improved.
