Fxcking finally. It was always annoying having to wait for the email. Makes it easier when setting up Heroic as well - I can keep my phone open on the same app ready to put in the code right after logging in to Epic.

Beautiful. As someone who knows all of those tools, I can see how it fits together, I can imagine what duct-taping and scripting is needed to automate it, and I have a headache just from thinking about it.

Honestly, the Steam way of doing telemetry is really good. Make it a rare event so that when you do get one, you think "Cool, I finally got one," and give enthusiastic consent.

As for the releases, there are still several things that needs to be iterated, so I think wait-and-see is about right.

Well. That explains why they don't want to support Linux. They have bigger problems to cook than supporting our platform.

My heart goes to the devs, and this is a reminder that for each good EA does (recent open sourcing) there is probably ten bad things before and ahead of it.

I actually got into the playtest for this one. I quite liked it - no mana system, you are just working with the moon layout you have and the rune layout of your cards.

Need a controller support though.

I'm astonished that PopOS is still that high despite it still being Ubuntu 22.04 based. Hopefully Cosmic will release and they can update it sometimes before 26.04.

Also, I wonder, does Bazzite Deck on my ROG Ally count as Holo, Fedora, or Bazzite on its own?

Can someone update me on the status of the WineWoW64? Haven't heard about that in a while now...

At this point I'm starting to wonder if they're trying to farm fails and negativity.

Have been getting a bit peeved at heroic lately - having no option to keep it offline and not being able to disable playtime tracking creeps me out. That's on top of the annoyance of having a shop inside the launcher.

Playtime tracking is done through the timestamp.json file.

And yeah, there are some things about Heroic that's sub-optimal for me, but it's compromises that I'm fine with given it's the most convenient client for GOG and Epic (aka the free-games-dispenser marketing-black-hole platform).

Clicked this as soon as I saw the notification from the WA channel. Those are nice updates... But a lot of those are things I'd expect to already be there even with Civ's known sub-par launches...
