A lot of dev companies treat their native Linux versions like an afterthought, if they don’t outright outsource the project to a 3rd party. That’s why the Proton version typically works better if the title isn’t Indie. If an Indie dev makes the port, it’s probably alright.

Admittedly, I think this is one thing about Linux gaming that Proton will make worse, now that devs can just test the game in Proton and not even bother with a native Linux version. I don’t foresee that changing unless Linux somehow becomes the overwhelming majority OS, and while I think it will take a good chunk of market share in the coming years, I don’t foresee it becoming the overwhelming majority for some time.

I would like to add:

If your game isn’t on Steam, but is on any other popular (or infamous) launcher, odds are it’s also on Lutris with an install script to get it working. Lutris is on Flathub and is officially maintained by the Lutris team so it is available regardless of your Distro.

Lutris is also a good way to install any F2P games that are not on Steam or that you don’t want to rely on Steam for.

Happy gaming!

I actually extended your PSA over to my Misskey. A great discussion ensued followed by this term and one other being added to the slur list. :P

I feel like a lot of people here need to stop taking this information so damn personally. You didn’t know, great, that means you’re not racist. Now you do know. So just… Stop? That’s it. OP wasn’t even a dick about it.

Personally, I’m grateful when I get a heads up that certain terms are racist, so thank you OP!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Still should defed them immediately

No, I don’t think it would be productive in the least, but it would be hysterical and worth eating popcorn to!

His battle with Rowling will be legendary

Correct; early Christianity was far from monolithic, but the ultimate point is that this person very obviously doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

Or Paul, apparently.

Wow! Look at that: Republicans and Leftists want Democrats to do the same thing for once: treating Trump with less respect!

With how abysmally little as they make from Spotify, this isn’t much different. They make anywhere from 0.003-0.005¢ per stream. If you really want to support artists, buy music from their Bandcamp or Qobuz, but don’t pay for Spotify; the only people winning in that exchange is Spotify.

Silk issue.

Dunno what this game is, never heard of it, and it honestly doesn’t sound like my type of game anyway.

But if they don’t want my OS, they don’t even want me as a player anyway, I will not switch OSes for a game. Plain and simple.

I’d love to! I can’t find one that supports my Samsung Galaxy Note 20.

This is also a great way to handle it; malicious compliance/monkey paw. Makes for some humorous moments.

And yeah, if a player is constantly having to be told no, a talk may need to be had, and if it can’t be resolved, they probably need to go. It’s also a reason why Session 0’s are so important; talking out what’s expected of the campaign both on the part of the players and what the GM has in mind.

I 90% agree. I think most of the opposition to this comes from people exhausted with habitual boundary-pushers who think that a nat 20 means they can get away with defying the laws of reality.

Like, no, a nat20 persuasion does not convince the merchant to give you half his stock and all the money in the register… He would go broke and he’s got a family to support, along with his own survival that your nat20 does not also convince him to stop caring about.

But at the end of the day, a lot of GMs who are sick of that need to be sent the dictionary page for the word “no.” The occasional use of it really does improve the quality of the game, and I’m sure plenty of players will appreciate not letting aforementioned boundry pushers continue to waste time on impossible pursuits that do nothing to move the game forward.

Idk, that’s sounding a lot like they were just exceptionally prepared to find out.

I’m on the older end of Gen Z. I’m not even 30 yet, but I’m with you. I didn’t start there though; a lot of us are raised by people who either drank the kool-aid or are too beaten down by capitalism to care, so give them awhile to get there.

Deadlock is still a MOBA. You do have to kill minions, farm gold, buy items, push lanes, etc. But it is a lot faster than Predecessor and is still also a shooter.

It’s free, if you have someone who can invite you, you lose nothing trying it. The community has also been shockingly nice in my experience thus far.

I get it. It’s an understandable desire, that there’s somehow more to this and a point to our suffering. Be careful with the Witnesses though. If you’re grieving lost loved ones, they’ll pick up on it and try to leverage that to swindle you in. I truly believe most religious people mean well, but the Watch Tower Society (the people behind the JW’s) are incredibly predatory and outright teach their followers to leverage people’s grief if they pick up on it.
