Might be kind of fun to see this game and my window manager fight it out lol

I haven't experienced any bugs or technical issues at all on 1.0, though I'm forcing it to use the windows version. I haven't tried the linux version on 1.0 yet, but historically it had been incredibly buggy. (I already had it installed and set to proton experimental, so I didn't change anything.)

It felt like a case of a game nominally having native linux support but the developer not actually being prepared to support it. Might try out native linux later to see if things have improved more recently.

I'm pretty happy with this game at 1.0. I want to show particular appreciation for the dedicated offline mode, it's glorious. Screw you blizzard.

Oh no! Somebody else is making money! We can't have that because we are the only very special geniuses who can make games with pets or cartoony yellow mice! :woot:

This is nice to see, and congratulations to the developers. Is anyone knowledgeable about how sustainable NVK could be while the manufacturer is largely hostile to open source? For example, I worry that nvidia would release new cards on which NVK doesn't work, and may never work. While I know they are going to be somewhat constrained by the API/ABI ecosystem, it's hard for me to imagine this being sustainable in the long term; perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised.

My hope is that as NVK gets progressively better nvidia will "give up" and embrace open source the way AMD has, but I'm not holding my breath.

Much to my shock, I think this is one of the best games ever made. It is the perfect example of why I buy way too many games on sales as I bought it on sale on a whim.

I still laugh my ass off whenever I think back to my gorilla walking into a bar and saying "I don't speak english" just before he bashes the place to bits with a sledge hammer. Good times.

The thing that I really find obnoxious about these comments is the misleading framing: they make it sound like it's a matter of "should we put a huge amount of our time, money and effort into creating a linux build?" when reality is that it's actually a matter of whether they make it possible for other people to merely run it on linux.

Unfortunately "linux" remains a terrible target for games: not for any fundamental reason, but because "linux" can mean so many different things. I wish valve would embrace some kind of flatpak integration, though I suspect the way things are going to go is developers targeting steamos, and other distros having to do whatever it takes to emulate that environment. Until this process matures we are, unfortunately, in a position where developers are well justified in targeting only windows, because there's a good chance that their windows game will work better on linux and on more configurations than had they targeted linux directly, as it now comes with what is essentially a built in and fairly mature containerization system.

Quoting: tuubiYou're thinking of high fantasy which is only one of the subgenres. Understandable, as that's what almost anyone thinks of when they hear the genre mentioned. And even that subgenre is likely to be more varied than you give it credit for.

Well, it was foolish of me to try to get into this conversation without trying to define the genre, that's for sure.

Regardless, what I see in this trailer does not look to me like a clever or interesting setting, it looks a lot like the kind of thing that you're criticizing me for stereotyping fantasy as.
