Quoting: constThinking about it... I wonder what Unity middleware devs will do now..

I hope they won't starve...

Anyway, should I install Godot from Steam or from the repository?

Quoting: damarrinIf it helps any, you’re just infesting a wine prefix with it and can purge it completely in just a click.

It does help, as I am anything but an expert in regards to wine/proton prefixes.
So the EA is completely containerized inside of the prefix and will leave no traces lingering on my system (years after purging the pfx from my home directory)?
Is the click you are referring to as easy as clicking uninstall in steam?

I’m sorry if I’m bothering you with stupid questions. To me, proton is still some kind of black magic.

You are mistaken, that was Vermin Supreme [External Link] who promised everyone* a (free!) pony.

Here is a video proof [External Link] wherein it is also explained that the ponies are part of a Federal Pony Identification program, where you will need your pony with you at all times.

Quoting: scaineFor £2.50 and the inconvenience of creating a linked account? I buckled like a cheap belt.

You are perfectly right, but do I want to 'infest' my linux machine with the EA app?
I put a lot of time and care into setting up my gaming rig, it's my baby. :grin:

Quoting: EriI remember reading about the state of the online modes of Titanfall and it's sequel a couple years ago. How did that went? Did the hackers won and got their version of Titanfall Online and EA moved on? or what? I hope they didn't won, they ruined the game for a lot of people.

As far as I know the servers for the first title are offline. So everybody lost, I guess?

[...] with plenty of indie teams having a growing list of titles they no longer worked on directly that could benefit from a little TLC.

Can someone please explain to me what does TLC stand for?

They're being added under "Valve Jupiter device", with Jupiter being one of the names Valve seems to use for SteamOS.

I could be wrong, but I think that "Jupiter" is the hardware platform of the Steam Deck - the computer gubbins - and "Neptune" is the input platform of the Steam Deck - the controller gubbins. SteamOS itself is called Holo for the version with the Deck, and was named after DOTA characters for the Steam Machines - .Alchemist, Brewmaster, and Clockwerk.

If we assume that there's some underlying logic to the codename, Galileo the person and Galileo the probe are both famed for looking at Jupiter, which suggests it might be a Valve gaming platform linked somehow with visuals: a new display, or VR, maybe? It's all pretty thin, though.

It’s a little mixed on exactly what it is, because a bunch of OS packages are named Jupiter. We’ve also seen before “Jupiter OS” named directly like in a dev stream https://youtu.be/P6CUQeHIxDA?t=12417 [External Link] perhaps before they settled on the name Holo for that specific SteamOS.

I was thinking Jupiter referred to the firmware of the Steam Deck's motherboard, while Neptune stood for the firmware of the daughterboards on which the inputs are sitting on.

Quoting: EhvisThe good old microsoft method of "embrace, extend, extinguish". Embracer skipped the extend part.

Oooooh! Indeed they did, haha. Thank you for explaining.
