I assume that's just because everybody is busy playing "Elden Ring:
Shadow of the Erdtree". I know the base game was quite popular here,
so I suspect many of the regulars here have rushed out to buy the recently-released DLC on day one.
Not me, though. Souls-games never grabbed me the way they did others;
I play them, but that style of gameplay is more a detriment than bonus
in my eyes. And the big open world of "Elden Ring" also doesn't help;
I'm /tired/ of all these giant games. I never thought I'd say this,
but I miss the era when I could get through a game in ten hours.
But more power to those who enjoy this sort of thing. Just, um, maybe
drop by Usenet and say hello every now and again? ;-)

I put *well* over 100hrs in the base game, and am in no hurry to return
to it. Instead, I'm playing this group's most hated game....Doom Eternal!

There is s new Elden Ring game out?
Man, if I didn't check here once in a while I wouldn't know.
It's not a new game per se. It's an expansion to the original, but
reviews indicate it's such a MEATY add-on that it could, in some ways,
be considered a proper sequel. For obvious reasons, I can't confirm
these claims, but I've seen the line repeated several times.
Anyway, it came out yesterday.

surely it will come in the year of the linux desktop :D
it's funny, but Linux managed to take over the phone market in most of
the world, IoT and embedded systems, and most servers in the world run Linux... just that pesky desktop market still doesn't want to switch...
Nope. Internet is quiet too. I guess summer break. :P

Mostly not, I suspect, but there are people who have KIDS that are in
school. And summer is when you take the kids on vacation.
And even if you DON'T have kids, still summer break applies, since
adults like to take a break from work for their own benefit too.
Whether its to take a hike in the woods or go down to the beach, most
people find the experience more pleasant when the sun is high, the
days are long, and the weather is clement.
TL;DR: regardless of age, summer is when people abandon their responsibilities to frolic in the sun. ;-)
Alternately, they - kids and adults alike - are just playing Elden
Ring.

I've experienced that; heat waves so bad that even the AC can't keep
the room cool enough to keep the PC on (especially if its CPU and GPU
are pegged running some high-end game). You just gotta turn off the
computer until temperatures become more managable (it probably helps
reduce the load on the electrical infrastructure too. ;-)
Heat waves suck. They should be made illegal or something.
