nice to see that gaming on Linux is starting to get a lot more traction now and going mainstream, Linus is really pushing it as a viable option which is great because it really has come a long way.

Chapter 4 is progressing well. It is kind of surprising to me how little dialog there is. The story is designed for and calls for that. The main character has been mentality breaking from the start. The story is also about what she does to stay in moment and work through her issues. It will get better but it is still several chapters away.

Mainstream meeting linux. what did you expect lol
when you want the year of the linux desktop but only if its the exact same as your desktop and a year that you specify
TL;DR Linus sponsors a version of linux that looks and acts like windows XD

@wolfleben pointing back at the topic of DVD vs Blu Ray video quality, I ordered the Blu Ray version of Twin Peaks (S1+2+movie). The image quality - while still 4:3 - has really improved. The DVD version that I have has this warm, glowing look to it and while itās not bad, itās still low res.
Itāt actually quite a good deal. ~23ā¬ for the Blu Ray (S1+2+movie) vs also ~23ā¬ for the DVD āDefinitive Editionā (S1+S2.1+S2.2).
Since I found out thereās apparently a re-run of the show in 16:9 (and first getting excited, the disappointed, then glad again I bought the Blu Ray), how do you feel about old shows in new aspect ratios?
- Original 4:3
- Cropped to fit 16:9

In some cases shows were actually shot in 16:9 (or close to it) but framed for 4:3, so a remaster ion 16:9 wouldnāt mean they have to crop the picture. But thereās still the artistic argument that it was shot for 4:3 and everything outside was not intended to be shown in the picture.

I think it would depend on the show and whether it makes sense or not. if it were shot in 16:9 and your not losing anything from the original then sure why not but if you have to do extensive editing to make it work then I feel like it might just be better as the original in 4:3.

4:3 for sure in that case. They even cut out the hand bit

ye in this case 4:3 is better, if your losing part of the scene just for the aspect ratio something is wrong.

The only case I know about where the director and camera team were thinking ahead was with Scrubs. They actually shot the whole show in 16:9 and cropped for 4:3.
In case of 4:3 shows Iām actually kinda glad I have a 16:10 monitor as stretching it doesnāt look bad.

If the show was filmed in 16:9 then definitely use that. However if it was only shown in 4:3 then also have the option to watch it that way.
If the show was 4:3, Iām against cropping it to fit 16:9.

Itās like saying āwe had to cut some content out of the show so it wouldnāt be too big for streaming, the old, dusty DVD set has all of it, thoughā.
That, and it looks weird when stuff is missing in each shot.

Chapter 4 is finished. Iāll start working on Chapter 5 later today.
Main character at the end of Chapter 4 is given a glimmer of hope.
