Sluggish Download and Install Subtract From Netrunner's Pluses


Netrunner Rolling 2015.11 version is a disappointing release. It seems sluggish and unimpressive right from the start.Sluggish Download and Install Subtract From Netrunner's Pluses
Linux Picks and Pans last reviewed Netrunner in 2013 and gave it five stars. This was the standard Netrunner edition built upon Kubuntu, Ubuntu's KDE desktop version.
The Netrunner Rolling edition, released in 2014, is based on packages from the Manjaro distribution.
The desktop in the rolling edition released last month is KDE Plasma 5.4.2, with many applications and libraries updated to their latest versions. The distribution is powered by Linux kernel 4.2.5.
Netrunner Rolling 2015.11
At the core of Netrunner Rolling 2015.11 is KDE Plasma 5.4.2 and Linux kernel 4.2.5. Many applications and libraries are updated to their latest versions.

The default Web browser is Firefox 42.0 with built-in Plasma support. Gmusicbrowser and Pidgin are updated to fully integrate into Plasma 5's new system tray. LibreOffice 5 is default office suite, rather than the expected KDE KWrite.
Despite these latest goodies, Netrunner Rolling does a lot of fumbling. It's plagued with horrible download delivery, terrible hardware acuity and anemic staying power.

Coming South Park game is harder for black characters

Don't worry, this doesn’t affect combat. Just every other aspect of your whole life.” A GIF showing the difficulty/skin-color choices in  South Park: The Fractured But Whole Ubisoft 131 Writers from  John Scalzi  to author  Shannon Sullivan  have called being white living life in "easy mode" when compared to the treatment that people of color receive. The upcoming RPG  South Park: The Fractured But Whole  takes that concept and integrates it right into the gameplay, increasing the difficulty for created characters as their chosen skin tone becomes darker. Eurogamer  was among the first to notice and publicize the feature. At a recent preview event, the site  captured footage  showing difficulty levels ranging from "easy" for a light-skinned character to "very difficult" for the darkest skin option.

Image
We heard earlier this week that CD Projekt's next RPG epic, Cyberpunk 2077, will maybe— maybe , I said!—be out in 2016. As it turns out, a release date has actually been set, but CEO Adam Kiciński said in an interview with  Money.pl  (translated by  NeoGAF ) that the studio won't reveal it until it's ready to start the marketing campaign. And that's not likely to happen for a good while yet, because the focus in 2016
