Quoting: InstallI prefer buying on gog over steam since you own the games. Steam is drm and you dont own those games, you rent them. I feel gog fits the same philosophy as linux in terms of freedom. gog does support linux, there might be cases where there isnt a version but most of the time they sell them.

Well, about all of this is wrong. Wherever you get software from a store, you get a licence. Steam, Gog, ... MS, ... even GPLed software - that's what the "L" is all about! So you neither own nor rent it. Some games of Steam are DRMed, some are not. Gog's "support" for Linux is so big, they aren't even making a client. (I understand why they don't, but it's still not great support.)

Quoting: X6205I would not count on "Verified" status, because i was playing RE Village a few days back and while it runs great, there are some in-game videos which are showing only green screen placeholder instead of actual video.

I've been asked on Deck every now and then if I agree with Valve's impression of the game.

Do they keep the (verifying) pace? The portion of my library checked is high (about two thirds), but stopped rising some months ago.

Quoting: fenglengshunI honestly just disable the autoplay and never look at the trailer. Years of various online stores' videos have taught me that most of the time they waste a lot of time and aren't very informative.

They really should just apply TikTok/Shorts video principles to store trailer -- make them short, to the point, and interesting immediately and throughout.

I got the feeling though the autoplay option would switch itself every other week...

Quoting: PhiladelphusLike, you can flip a fair coin and get 10 heads in a row. It's quite a small probability to happen, but it's technically just as random an outcome as getting 5 heads and 5 tails

Nnnno.

Getting HHHHHHHHHH is as likely as getting HHTHTTTHTH, but there's many more versions of 5 heads 5 tails.

Quoting: MinuxCould you give me a bit of advice about this?

Humble is one of about three stores I trustfully use (Steam, GOG, Humble). It's all fine.

Quoting: spacemonkeyTry getting intellisense to work. It requires the exact correct combination of software versions for Unity, VSCode, Dotnet, Mono and the C# plugin for VSCode. So don't even think about updating any of these, once you get it to work. And also expect random Unity crashes.

Game dev takes a lot of time, so I hate it when the environment I work in is wasting it.

Any software development takes a lot of time and all of my brain, that's why I'm loving a stable, "it just works" environment, which I found, sorry to say - it was decades ago - in Visual Studio. I tried VS Code, but it feels to flaky already to me without meeting the problems you describe.

Think you have what it takes?

Nope. (And therefore never even tried.)
