Quoting: GuestWindows only, shame... When i saw the trailer it looked like a nice game.

Why is it a shame?

Are you asking that because you don't know the person's answer or because you do know and you're waiting for their reply so you can give them a hard time?
Proton is great, but I don't think there's any point to razzing people for preferring Linux native.

The reality is, Proton is a perfectly viable option for Linux gamers that, in many cases, gives native-like performance and grants access to hundreds of games we would otherwise never get to play on our operating system of choice. It's also a reality that even if every single Linux gamer boycotted every game that didn't offer native Linux support, it would not compel a single developer to suddenly produce a Linux version to take advantage of what is, by all accounts, a negligible sliver of the market. I wish it weren't it so, but those are the facts.

So, in the end, refusing to buy a promising game because it can only be played in Proton reminds me of the adage about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Refusing to buy a game that doesn't run natively on your OS of choice is perfectly legitimate, and maybe we GNU+Linux users shouldn't be so damn quick to buy Windows games.

Maybe if Valve only gave the "verified" tag to GNU+Linux native games (that run flawlessly), developers would have more incentive to actually port games to our OS and ultimately support them.

You can be sure that if only native games can get the "Verified" status, and windows-only game could be "Playable" at best, we would see a drastic increase in Native versions :wink:

Or maybe that's Valve's long-term plan ? Once a lot of games reach the "Verified" status, change the rules so that they will "lose" that precious badge if they don't go Native... Evil, but perfect :grin:

I seriously doubt that.

Come one, you're no fun ! :grin:

I tried the demo, it is a bit messy (not really clear on what is doing what), but there are some good ideas.
Part of the gameplay reminds me of Dicey Dungeon (re-rolling dices until you get that ONE value, anyone ? :whistle: )

This was in my wishlist for a while, so when I knew about the Native version, I knew it would be insta-buy on release :smile:

Can't wait to play this with friends !

Not that bad, for a game that started kinda like a joke... Maybe I'll give it another try, at least this one is Native

I recently got myself a second-hand Lenovo Tiny m72e, to start tinkering with yunohost and self-hosting. The reason is, the prices for second hand Raspberry Pi here have increased, to the point that you can get some small form factors PC for the same price range...

Of course, the ecosytem of the Raspberry Pi is missing (module camera and stuff... I'd like to try image recognition on such a device, with OpenCV, just for fun :smile: ), but then I have a full-fledged PC, which could maybe be re-used for, say, a dedicated server (Valheim ? :wub: ), or even a small retro-console... Just saying :wink:

Steam Cloud

• Fixed sync error for games which have converted Cloud-saved files into directories


• Fixed Cloud sync for some games with slightly malformed cross-platform Steam Cloud sync settings

Oh my, I recently got into this, all cloud games being suddenly out-of-sync, and not being able to launch / losing saves on all thoses games...

I had to rename all steam folders into .old, then install everything again, and install them again one by one, to fix the issue... Glad it is being fixed :smile:
