FFF 2.2 – New Release for MangoHud Statistics Overlay
What’s MangoHud? MangoHud is a system statistics overlay app which you can use while you play most games, if you just have to know your FPS, temperatures, frequencies, and various usages in realtime. It’s what you see in many review videos on YouTube, or in your game streamers on twitch and the like. So what’s new for this handy tool?
• Fixed issue that applied picmip without option being set.
• Reverted x11 poller that was causing segfaults 06edee4.
• Fixed issues with horizontal and legacy_layout.
• Fixed amdgpu APU power and temperature reading.
• Fixed certain hud elements displaying incorrectly in horizontal.
• Fixed an issue causing segfault when using MANGOHUD_CONFIG.
Sounds like it used to float around in the wrong spots on the steamdeck and in Linux, that issue has been fixed (see point 5 above).

FFF 2.3 – Mineclone2 has a New Version Out

Last week I talked about the FOSS core for this implementation of early minecraft code, and you need that in order to play this, as it is more or less a DLC content pack made for minetest. Here’s a sampling of what’s new, here, boys & girls.
• new and updated music
• new sound effects
• biome coloured foliage and water
• mobs can ride minecarts
• hoppers can put items in minecarts
• new and improved /clearmobs commands
• Iron Golems now protect themselves and villagers
• various performance improvements
• improved translations
• lots of bug fixes and more..
If I had time to throw at it, and cared at all on any kind of personal level about MineCraft or its spinoffs/knockoffs I would probably test it out. However, neither of those things is true of me, so I won’t.
