Quoting: elmapulwhy the Meta tag?

Presumably meta as in news tangential to gaming but not about a game. Not Meta as in Facebook.

I'm curious if this is a fuckup with the version of Proton it was tested against? Recommended runtime is set as "proton-stable" which today should be Proton 7 today. But the game was verified 3 February 2022 when the stable release would have been 6.3.

Oh, it's totally despicable behavior alright. Pure scum.

The comments about gaming and open source seems like a very poor attempt to garner some sort of Robin Hood sympathies.

Nvidia source release on friday?

So, NVIDIA, the choice is yours! Either:

–Officially make current and all future drivers for all cards open source, while keeping the Verilog and chipset trade secrets... well, secret

OR

–Not make the drivers open source, making us release the entire silicon chip files so that everyone not only knows your driver's secrets, but also your most closely-guarded trade secrets for graphics and computer chipsets too!

YOU HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY, YOU DECIDE!

Quoting: UnixOutlawBought - great cause! Only just read David Kushner's "Masters of Doom" - mostly about the two Johns... Thanks John Romero!

A great read!

If you haven't already read it, check out Hackers by Steven Levy. The whole book is fascinating, especially the story about the wild early days of Sierra On-Line.

Quoting: heidi.wengerThere is a reason why Steam is so popular i think: you click "PLAY" and, well, then you play! Maybe The Dark Mod gets to Steam just like Super Tux!

TDM on Steam was in the works when Valve did the whole Greenlight thing. Don't really know why there haven't been any other efforts?

Konami went on to state: "Also, bumblebees cannot fly as the lift generated by the wing does not support the weight."

Quoting: P1nky3. Make tdm_installer.linux64 executable: chmod +x tdm_installer.linux64

That step could be simplified:

Quoting: slaapliedjeTinkering is the best part! Ha, as I get older my attention span for gaming has decreased. Maybe it's because I realize I could be doing something more useful (like quoting random bits on forums). But I find myself installing a game, tinkering to get it working in Linux, finally getting it to work... then ignoring the game after I play it for an hour or two.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this particular affliction!

I actually do play quite a bit of games (11 completed so for this year) but it's so much more fun to hack on Wine and Proton!

Very cute and a very clever way to introduce the controls. Best tutorial ever?
