Quoting: fearnflavioAt least it doesn't take 2 min to open 😅

I know you need to play nice with Epic and all that, but let's not sugarcoat things, 2m19.5s here (it's slightly faster now that I moved it to the nvme drive). :tongue:

Quoting: elmapuleven purchasing used games seems more usefull to me, at least you are giving money to an consumer that might use it to purchase another new game that is still being produced.

Too risky! They might use that money for drugs, or worse, mobile games with ads and micro-transactions!

Quoting: lah7There is a mysterious new "Game Transfer over Local Network" option in Big Picture's Download Settings. It doesn't save the setting, so I guess that's not supposed to be there - but will look forward to whenever that lands!

Probably this?

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoWhen WINE 8.0 be integrated into WINE GE (Lutris GE) or PROTON GE?

GE follows Proton Experimental so presumably only after Valve makes the jump to 8.0?

Quoting: CybolicOh, that's a tricky one! While I like pretty much everything about the concept, I also dislike pretty much everything about the audio :/
If there's an option to disable the soundtrack and voices, I'm in :grin:

I quite liked the soundtrack. It's the shirt on the driver I have a problem with. I think neither TÛV, the DMV or the MOT would approve of it for driving (or flying)!

Another fun little fact:

There are more native Linux games scheduled for release on Steam during 2023 than the total amount published during the year 2013, and we're still only in January...

Quoting: nitro322From my perspective, more rare based on drm-free, Linux native games. I don't have any stats to determine whether this is accurate, but it sure feels like native Linux games are in a decline since the mid 2010s now that everyone's happy to just publish on steam or, worst, publish just publish a Windows version that might run on Linux via wine.

FWIW there were 1424 native Linux games released (on Steam) last year. That's an all time high! 2021 had 1217 new releases.

For comparison with the mid-2010s, 843 in 2015. Much much less if you go back further.

The native Linux game is alive and well! At least on Steam.

I think somebody is eagerly awaiting the release of Tax Return Simulator 2023 (with the Form 1120 DLC). Will it be Deck verified you think?
