How Steam Play/Proton makes Gaming on Linux awesome - Thomas Crider (Proton-GE, Nobara, Red Hat, Lutris).

Should have called the talk 'How Steam Play and especially the formidable GE-Proton makes Gaming on Linux awesome' and then just pretend to have never come across the term 'glorious eggroll'.
'Never heard of it. Sounds dope though!'

EA expanding EA Anti-Cheat - bad news for Steam Deck / Linux

That's beneath them. (Obligatory disclaimer: Valve is a company who wants your money and who is not your friend. That being out of the way, Valve is not EA. They're not the same.)

Besides, Electronic Arts does something that actively disregards and hurts their customers and they couldn't care less while doing it? The public is totally flabbergasted. Oh, the humanity!
It's business as usual for Electronic Aids, the limited feelings they have for their very own consumers is utter disgust, despiciency and contempt.

Quoting: EhvisUnless they do something stupid like adding Denuvo.
I raise 'always online single player campaign', checkpoints use up a 'premium currency' that can be bought in a microtransaction... is someone going to match? :grin:

edit: To add a bit of on-topic, I don't know of a Devolver Digital published game that incorporates Denuvo in any form.

Quoting: benstor214Anyway, should I install Godot from Steam or from the repository?
There's no "install," it's just a bare binary, so you can just grab it from the website Windows-style if you want.
That sounds like good practice for version control. :smile:

Quoting: Loftyahh yes the thin illusionary veneer of the separation of corporation and state. i think there is a name for that but i can't quite remember..
Oh oh oh... I think it was some kind of Italian fashion! At the time, one individual designer was predominantly avant-garde. What was his name? Benito M.? It was very Italian sounding... like Tortelini? How do you say again for something that is in fashion? Can you say it's 'fashy'?

Quoting: MayeulCLiam, the URL contained parenthesis that I had to manually transform to %{28,29}, I think the parser could be improved :)
Hmm... looking at the URL you mention (especially the part where a string is passed) [...]/signin?return_to= this might be done by the very website you linked to for reason of protection against injection methods... I don't think the GOL Forum is to blame here.
