Quoting: scaineI have the same annoyance when the Humble Choice comes out each month, because while Humble allows Steam linking for redeeming the games, there's no library search function. So I have to grab the title, visit steampowered.com, enter it and see if I own it. Doing that for 10-12 games... it's just a bit tedious.

I used to buy games from humble store, but I stopped, because they outright refused to implement a function of steam library sync to clearly see which games I own or have wishlisted. Going through sales is tedious as it is, I'm not going to convince myself to do it if they don't bother.

TBH I only buy "good old games" (that are not on steam) on GOG. For me it's useless for anything else, given the lack of Linux client and overall lackluster support for Linux versions of games. Apparently I have >500 games on GOG but I only downloaded a few for use with ScummVM and Dosbox. Also 32 more on my wishlist, so they can still get some of my money if they can prove they care about Linux at all.

Apparently it pays off to be consistent.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleAnd yeah, of course there's value in being on Steam. Doesn't stop people complaining about it.

Apart from some really delusional developers, I think everyone realizes the value of the Steam service, it's just that they don't want to give a 30% cut for this value. It's nothing surprising or new, people are always complaining about prices of anything. But does it ever work? Lowering the price wouldn't stop anyone from complaining - it will be either "still too much", or it will only work for some time before the topic returns. The only working factor is competition, and Steam competitors are still in the woods.

Not sure about the game, but the trailer music is great!

Quoting: Stupendous ManYou might want to be careful with this upgrade, it didn't boot for me on my Ryzen 3200G box and I had to reinstall and downgrade to the earlier release.
The ChimeraOS creator was super helpful on the Discord though so no complaints, just something to keep in mind.

How did you downgrade? I wiped ChimeraOS and installed a more standard Arch flavour after all proton games stopped working in a new version and they said that "downgrades are not supported [External Link]".

"A browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier"
They said it themselves, they put minimal effort other than reskin chromium, heh heh.

I guess it's useful for developers to have it on Linux for testing web pages, other than that I have no idea.

Sid Meier's Civilization V

Whaaaat, it finally works! I've tried running it in Proton for months, to no avail.
I can finally unlock the map-type achievements, that Aspyr never fixed on Linux...

I'm enjoying this trend and I wish more aged platformers were remastered and re-released.

Quoting: GuppyHave they automated the hardware survey? I don't think I've had the popup in a couple of years now 🤔

I got one yesterday, so probably not.
