I never knew that, thanks for sharing! Also, username checks out.

Tea. Partially because it tastes better, but also partially because I have a low tolerance to caffeine. Drinking coffee just makes me feel jittery and shaky, not focused.

I use Heroic Launcher, it supports GOG and the Epic Store, but adding DRM-free games to it is also as easy as Lutris.

I understand that with wine/proton prefixes they should be installed to a “fake c:/ windows hierarchy” can I just compress that and copy to a different Linux machine?

Yup, your save games are in your wine prefix so feel free to back them up and just use them again. Note that the game itself isn’t necessarily in the prefix, you could have installed it elsewhere.

Does it save which proton version was used?

I don’t think so, but it shouldn’t matter. You can change versions any time and it’ll just update your prefix.

If I use something like Lutris or bottles can I import into them?

Yes, you can set the prefix path to that folder you copied and it should pick up where you left things.

Awesome game, despite being very well received I still think it’s not as popular as it should be. I also can’t get over the fact that Microsoft closed the studio that made it. What a shame!

The first half of the game is fun, but the second half is where it really hits its stride. The more difficult enemies and last few boss fights are amazing. Agh, what I’d do for a sequel…

Terraria and deep rock galactic are good starters, but this post sounds insanely paranoid for the wrong reasons. Just because you got infected with malware in the past doesn’t mean you need to lock down your internet access. You’ll gain nothing from it. All you need is an adblocker (+ something that blocks trackers) and not running suspicious files.

Just because you’re connecting to a remote server (like any website ever) doesn’t mean you’re susceptible to attacks. Ditto for almost any modern video game, there are protections in place so nobody can run code or send you harmful files on your machine.

It depends on what you mean by piece of technology I guess, since what we have now is a culmination of thousands of awesome tech over the last few hundred years.

If I were to choose one thing, I’d say the telephone. It’s the predecessor to the internet, and suddenly communication between people was instant rather than messages that’d take forever (or morse for the places that had it).

It probably changed the world forever, being able to talk to someone in a completely different country and share something quickly.

Because they were getting really stale and they wanted to hold onto the franchise name anyways. People are nostalgic now, but when AC games were coming out back to back people were getting really bored of it.

When Assassin’s Creed 3 came out, everyone was saying how this is the third time they remade what is basically the same game (AC2, brotherhood, revelations, then 3). People weren’t impressed. Unity and Rogue didn’t sell that well. Syndicate apparently also didn’t sell very well.

So they basically remade the franchise into an RPG starting from Origins. They aren’t that special, but honestly, neither was everything after Revelations.

I’m not a game dev, I’m a web dev. I’ve never made anything more complicated game-wise than 2d fishing animation games

Well… At least the dev is honest about it being just for fun… I’ll give it 2 months before it’s a dead project. There is literally no way someone that has zero gamedev experience can remake a multi-million dollar game.

There’s a button in the bottom right to make the page wide. As for text size, I guess it’s kind of redundant since you can just zoom in the page.

There’s even a deluxe edition of the game that comes with a physical version of the manual! Though having all the pages from the start is a little spoilery.

This thing definitely won’t be gaming, but I’d like to maybe play videos (probably at a low resolution) and mp3 files at least.

Edit: Oh, I just realized I posted this in the gaming community and not just linux

I don’t really have anything to add, but hell yeah I love peak souls 2

If somebody hasn’t played Jak and Daxter yet, now is the time. It’s a lovely 3D platformer, I can’t wait until the whole trilogy is ported.

Bro just trust me bro it’s year of the Linux desktop bro everyone will use Linux bro

Inbetween all the garbage spam about AI I almost missed this was actually a post announcing laptops with the new Snapdragon chips. It’ll be interesting to see performance on windows ARM when they release next month

Dropping the old NTFS driver.

Good stuff. Hasn’t there always been confusion on mounting your NTFS drive using the old driver vs the new?

I still use Eternity, but unfortunately it seems like development stopped. Still the best IMO.

What’s suspicious about it…?
