Dwarf Fortress, Helldivers 2 and yes, shame on me, Melvor idle.

Riot Games talk Vanguard anti-cheat for League of Legends and why it's a no for Linux
12 Apr 2024 at 5:20 pm UTC

As if LoL is cheatfree... thinking of unkillable LeBlanc or Syndra picking up the Baron (or Warwick moving him) or Caitlyn autoattack on infinite distance. And now - did they fix the Tom&Nunu bug from Feb2024? idk! (anyone has news?)
So come again, why does Riot put in an anticheat software making sure LoL is tamperfree when they produce such bugs in the game and leaving them in the game for years? (like Sions R attack)

I love their singleplayer games, Ruined King and Song of Nunu. Both are playable on Proton, but I still need to play Bandle Tale & Mageseeker, and I very much adore Arcane Netflix series, and the book "Ruination" from Anthony Reynolds was well written. (just fyi: first read the book, it plays before Ruined King!)

Well at least LoL is still fun to watch, so I'm just getting back on Twitch watching LoL and check on the championships in Sep/Nov online at least I don't need to stay up until 4am as the finals are in Europe this year.

And just as i got interested, because the lore is great and Arcane series 2 on Netflix will soon™ be available.
Well, then I'm just playing Elden Ring or enjoy some X4Foundation. :grin:

Okay, i really thought this was a Steam related issue with XFCE after I read this bugreport.
Then I need to dig deeper afterall.

I don't see any problems on Xfce.
Maybe you're using Steam in another way than me?

Albion Online is finally getting a server for Europe

I've tried that MMO, it's just not for me.
It's like EVE Online, but Fantasy.
One world but many zones.
From Highsec (green=you cannot be attacked), lowsec (yellow=you get knocked out), nullsec (red+black; Full PvPvE zones)
