"No Tux No Bux reeeeeeeee"
We have all seen what this approach has achieved over the years for linux adoption and we are seeing what Proton is doing for it in the Steam monthly reports. People seem surprised that the walls of their house keep collapsing when they are actively raging against anyone trying to build a foundation for it first.

On the one side: "As long as it ain't Tencent again..."
On the other that name gives me heavy 'The HappyFunFun Company! - An OCP & Wayland-Yutani collaboration' vibes.

Surely this must be a mistake!
Necessities of modern game development demand game be priced at 99.99$! EA told me so!

Kingdom Come: Deliverance
The game is simply gorgeous, whoever was in charge of making the environments should get a medal. I live in roughly the same geographical latitude as the game is set in and it feels REAL. I've been to places that look exactly like those environments just by walking a few miles out of town. The story is pretty much a historical drama and as such your enjoyment of it will depend on how much you like the genre. At first I was intimidated by the resource based save system, but there are plenty enough auto-saves, beds that act as save points and the resource itself is easy enough to find/buy/steal/craft that it was never a real problem. I oft see the combat system described as 'clunky', but frankly that's just a consequence of you starting as an untrained peasant and everyone else simply being better than you, so any engagement needs to be thought through. As your skill rises and you face off with opponents of similar capabilities the combat becomes quite satisfying and you start feeling like a proper duelling knight. Duelling being the key word here as rushing multiple opponents at once is still a dangerous affair keeping the combat interesting well into the late game, but I can see how it might frustrate someone looking for the 'Big Damn Hero(tm)' experience.

Quoting: GuestNow, if I look to buy a AAA game, I patiently wait until the dust has settled. Let the paying beta testers dust off all the bugs for me.

Only sane way to do it these days. Even better to wait for a sale, if they want me to pay full price they better release a finished product.

How does this compare to MapTools?

Quoting: t3gIt’s cute that WINE is at 5.18, but Proton is stuck at 5.9 since WINE broke esync/fsync and Proton likes to have it.

Any news on that front?

Wanted to try this, but the settings interface doesn't want to start.
After checking if I had all the needed dependencies I tried to start it in the terminal, which gave me this list

which: no geany in (/home/felix/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin)
which: no firefox in (/home/felix/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin)
which: no netstat in (/home/felix/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin)
which: no vr-video-player in (/home/felix/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin)

Why would it look for firefox of all things?

I've noticed some problems with steamwebhelper, crashes and can start using massive amounts of resources, 25 out of 32BG (ameliorated by turning off advanced graphical options), bit annoying.
Anyone else having the same problems?
