For the time being, Proton is good enough for me. I think devs/publishers refusing to enable their chosen anticheat to work with Proton is what is holding things back now for tech people. For other people, there’s even bigger challenges, and I doubt they even read up on these “tech nightmares” so they’re good with just continuing on with Windows.

I’m sorry, 175 GB? WTF with these game sizes.

Unpopular opinion, but hype for GTA 6 died to me when they showed their disdain towards Linux users. They’ve always been shitty towards PC, but enough is enough.

Hopefully they add Linux support soon.

Apparently, Linux hosts do not show up when setting up the connection. Hopefully Linux support gets implemented ASAP.

Oooh, pirates!

The irony in these nerds attacking WoW nerds.

Edit: for the record, I’m a nerd. But I’m a live and let live nerd.

Clickbait title doesn’t say what the feature is and says it’s being removed for all players, not just disabled by default.

I tried it recently but the issue is that it plays like an MMO. If it had FPS or sword fighting (lightsaber) combat, it would be awesome. The gameplay is super dated.

I haven’t done much for modding, but I did mod up Beat Saber recently with ModAssistant. What I did was add the ModAssistant exe file as a non-Steam game, then put this in the launch options:

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=“/home/[username]/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/620980” %command%

The 620980 is the AppID for Beat Saber; you’d have to find it for each game. What this does it run the exe file in the same prefix as the game, which is good for making sure that any changes to ini files (etc) in AppData actually get written to the right spot. It worked great, no different than on Windows.

The tragic story of a game that was infected with Denuvo after release day.

Ah shit… Removed it from my wishlist. At least I didn’t already buy it.

I remember reading something about Japanese publishers using all caps because they don’t use case in their own language. Something like that.

I ran into this too. I had this RP moment where I was going to convert my character to a wizard based on where the conversation was going. I realised what was going on and pulled my character out of the conversation and went with my original idea, getting Withers to convert my character to a wizard. In my mind, that’s how the story went.

I wish Nvidia and AMD would work together to create these features as open standards.

Black Flag without the real-world stuff would have been great. I need to see if there’s a good pirate game out there. I played Sid Meir’s Pirates! or whatever it was called, but a 3D pirate game like Sea of Thieves, but single player… hmm.

Probably during the Steam Autumn Sale that starts around November 21st.

At the time, I hated using these things. Mac OS 9 would lock up unexpectedly (generally Windows wouldn’t blue screen while simply typing up a document whereas these iMacs would just freeze, requiring you to stick a paperclip into a hole like ejecting a CD drive manually). The keyboard was terrible, mouse was worse and the speakers were only good to play notification dings.
