There's literally a 5 hours free trial and you get invited by a friend to try the game with friend pass.
And as mentioned if you bought it on steam, you can always refund it.

I was not aware on The Crew Motorfest, as I said, I have seen very little about the game. Thanks, I'm gonna give it a try, seems to be in that sweet spot of semi arcade semi simulation.

I have a question, how good is this game in terms of... NFS, Dirt or even Forza Horizon series? I have seen very little footage of it and I wonder why AAA companies stopped having demos like most indies.

Wow, I just began playing FFXIII 2 days ago, could it be the same day the rolled the fix? I remember reading it needed all kind of fixes to run, even a third party mod, but other people commenting it ran out of the box for them, as always, nothing for sure, but because it was so cheap and it's such an iconic game for me, and yes, it's really really good, both the story and the gameplay, the later after 2-3 hours into the game.

While I have no problem with Flatpaks (in contrast with Snaps, which I really really dislike), I think we as a community shouldn't rely too much neither of them; also, as a sysadmin for decades, and gamedev on the side, I'm a advocate of ImgApp, it's less convenient in some scenarios, but it's also a lot more straightforward. Last time I checked, only OpenSuse came with it out of the box, while flatpak and snap... is everywhere now.

Quoting: EikeSecondary gaming device? :-D
Or, deserved by it's importance, "owning Steam Deck [ ] yes [ ] no"?

What is the information that adds if somebody owns a Steam Deck or not? I understand the importance of the device for gaming since it's powered by a fork of Arch by Valve, and it has helped a lot the advance of software like Proton, Wine, the refinement of Vulkan and OpenGL, developers taking more seriously Linux, etc. but I have been following GamingOnLinux for years since the days the site was not popular as it is right now, and nowadays it feels each day that passes, more and more of the news of the site, ignores, or heavily prioritizes, all SteamDeck related, getting for me to the point it feels more GamingOnSteamdeck rather than GamingOnLinux.
The site is beginning to prioritize the SteamDeck more and more each day it passes, and because the staff and specially Liam can stay up only so much time, I know the site it's ignoring (or giving a lot less priority) to what's happening on the gaming on Linux desktop experience (which it's much more diverse and more complex, therefore it would benefit a lot more being covered... that was what attracted me in the first place at least).

I'm trying to be objective here, just remembering the GoL from 2 years ago compared to what is it now. A balance of news on both fronts would be the best option, but I also know it could be too much work.

I know most people won't like my comment but being able to discuss things like this are a key point in the open source world community.

What I really don't like is that they disabled the option to launch the Steam client with the --no-browser option if using the beta... that was a life saver for me for some games given I have an "old" Geforce GT 1300 (which I bought new last year)

Looks like a proper "Vampire Savior" genre gamer, I don't know if I'll get it because, as you said, there are already several games of this style, and I think I found my favorite one a month ago or so, 20 Minutes Till Dawn (with 10 Minutes Till Dawn free demo, the 10 minutes are for the runs in the game).
There's even a Holocure made of the same style because of the incredibly rise of vtubers.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoValve and only Valve is THE guilty of this situation.

Valve must eliminate right now the online availability of Steam wallet codes in Argentinian and Turkish currencies.
To require credit cards from the country you are is the only way to sort this.

It's very difficult to get a credit card here. Only prepaid debit cards are available for the middle class, and myself personally, a few digital banks that popped up because we don't want to use our coin anymore.
To put it in perspective, Argentina is the country with most dollars on the outside than in the local banks. Government taxes are like 70% the value of what you buy.
It's an old model that will change next year because elections and a right wing capitalist leader figure waiting to become president by the people.

But this will happen soon to 1st world countries too if inflation keeps rising, therefore, I have studied a lot different economic systems, and crypto seems to be the only and best solution for everyone. You can see there popped out many sites that sells Steam cards for USD or crypto.

Quoting: notmrflibbleIt still needs systemd and is therefore still incompatible with Devuan. I still won't be using it.

Same here with MX Linux and sysvinit, although it supposedly also supports scripts for systemd, it is not always the case, systemd divides us again. Feral are very based though, maybe they would read this and apply a fix?
