I swear, this Bioware thing is comedy gold.

LOL, I don't think that guy followed the ME3 ending controversy very closely.

It looks like 3ds Max 2014 works with Wine 11.4. I'll give it a try and see for myself.

HAHAHA! Bioware was past due to be shut down. I almost forgot how bad Andromeda was.

Can you believe it? I never played that game. Or any game of that series. Yep.  Good music though.  Maybe I might pick it up on GOG (if it is there and on a nice sale ) 

Yeah, play the original! I heard they changed some of the dialogue for modern audiences and uglified the Amazon in the remastered version.

More YouTuber victory laps and Dragon Age cringe.

Wasn't there a clame that they were shutting down any future Mass Effect game after that last shit show? I seem to recall them saying that back then. 

I vaguely remember hearing that Mass Effect was on hiatus after Andromeda flopped.

Bioware is being shut down. No new Mass Effect game. Good.

Electronic Arts (EA) to shut down BioWare and cancel the next Mass Effect

After Electronic Arts (EA) was sold off, the inevitable has happened - they're doing some restructuring and cutting jobs. This was announced on the official EA website today, in a post from Cam Weber, President and CSO, and David Tinson, President and COO.

They don't exactly go into too much detail on what's changing but they did confirm that BioWare is closing and Mass Effect development stopped:

Quote

"As we focus on these larger opportunities, we've had a small team at BioWare working on early-development for Mass Effect. We've made the decision not to move forward with this development, which means we’re closing the studio and our Edmonton workspace. BioWare is a legendary studio that helped define the role-playing genre, and we do not take this decision lightly."

Also confirmed is their two upcoming action-adventure games with Marvel’s Iron Man and the next Star Wars Jedi game. After that, they said they will "concentrate our efforts on fewer simultaneous, large-scale projects, ensuring that every game we build in this space is fully set up for success".

EA will also continue investing in Battlefield, Apex Legends, EA SPORTS, The Sims and skate. However, the skate team are being downsized too, which is not a big surprise since the latest release is not exactly too popular.

Here are 2 hours and 12 minutes of pure nostalgia. I still remember the many late nights playing Diablo 2.

have you tried flatseal?

I'm trying it now. It works so far, but not for every folder.

I figured out that the issue with drag-and-drop file uploads in Zorin OS is due to Flatpak. It only works when uploading from the Downloads folder.

Interestingly, this doesn't happen with Nautilus. Perhaps they gave it an exception.

Haha, no, I don't want it. It will probably be better than Windows 11, though.

I'd suggest using a fast 3.1 drive or better and install a perfect system.

Install the OS on a USB drive?
