Is this some kind of Dead Or Alive thing where a normal game series turned into a cash cow by pandering to the lowest common denominator?

Quoting: MayeulCFWIW, multi-monitor support is quite decent here on sway (I use it at work, dock/undock often, use projectors, etc), and I don't recall many issues on KDE nor GNOME.
Well, it's kind of a tricky subject. The way that KDE and GNOME do it under Xorg is to basically combine the monitors into a single big screen that points at the same desktop. That's also why in KDE you can't configure virtual workspaces to switch out independently on each display, as the workspace is shown to the single screen that unites the two monitors.
And they haven't fixed it for Wayland. I can imagine sway working well, though, as it's basically just i3 for Wayland, and i3 doesn't work like KDE and GNOME do.

Quoting: PatolaIn a perfect world, we would have Loki, LGP and Desura back now with no DRM.
Wasn't Desura involved in some shady business concerning not paying the developers? Don't know if that's part of a perfect world.

The majority of users here are on a single monitor, so Wayland usage may be decently high. Unfortunately there are some issues with WL multihead implementations on GNOME and Plasma.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

I played and finished Violett, which is a charming adventure game with an inventive world. Kinda tricky to get into at first, though.

Played some Interstellaria which reminds me of a better version of FTL mixed with some Starbound. I would very much recommend it.

Huh, I've been meaning to get into Rust, might as well see if there's some little fixes I can make to get a feel for things.

Quoting: ZlopezI usually have the opposite problem. I open up my library on Steam and I think "I don't know what to play first!" :-D
I have the third problem: I see my list of games and realize I'll never have the time I need to give them all the love they deserve.

Always nice to see some well-written documentation /s.

Still, always nice seeing some investment into Wayland, it is the superior tech.
