itch.io has a huge bundle going to support 'Racial Justice and Equality'

Didn't buy cause it's political.

Also mostly garbage games and no steam, and I can't be bothered with multiple libraries. 🤷‍♂️

Quoting: slaapliedjeLet's be fair, most of us are still 15 trapped inside older bodies.
The 'mature' and 'adult' thing to do is admit it!
I've heard this before, and if this is not a joke I truly feel sorry for the people that feels this way. Most of the people I knew at 15 were morons that knew nothing about life or the world, myself incuded.

Liking a few of the same things at 15 and 35 does not make you a 15 year old trapped in an older body. Things like gaming, sports and movies can be enjoyed all through life, but normally experienced differently and preferring different genres.
Ah, so you see my point. Most people are sadly morons. Well, okay I will take a line from the great philosopher, George Carlin. "Think about how stupid the average person is. Then realize half the world are stupider than that!"
There are definitely, out of the people I used to call friends, that never really evolved past the 15 year old stage, and really are not the kind of people I would talk to now.
Look at how many people are falling for the Flat Earth thing... I rest my case.
No, that's not what I said at all.

I said 15 year olds are morons compared to what they are when they grow up.

If that is not the case in your experience, then a change of environment might be a good idea.

Some thoughts on Valve’s new Steam Play feature and what it means for Linux gaming
24 Aug 2018 at 3:02 pm UTC

The implementation seems to have ways to improve.

The other front ends for wine do it the same way:
Let you choose which wine version to use, and have libraries of different versions with different patches and so on.
Many games and apps need a specific version to run, which this doesn't open for it seems, at least not yet.

If valve could utilize the community to create and vote for different configs/winetricks and proton/wine versions to use, we could end up with something pretty fantastic.

Violent twin-stick shooter 'Hatred' is now officially out for Linux

Quoting: skinnyrafNo, just no.

I didn't play Postal when I was an angst-driven youth and I'm not going to play Hatred when I'm a happy middle aged father.
That is up to you of course.

As a curiosity, may I ask why you consider it contributing to post "I will not play this game" under an article about a game?

I've wondered what the reasoning behind it is.

Griftlands, the RPG from Klei Entertainment could see Linux support in future

My most played game this year has been Don't Starve: Shipwrecked, another great Klei game.

Want to compare your Steam library with Wine compatibility? There's a script for that

There's really no reason to make people go through that stuff to download the games web page.
Steam has an API that lets you just grab the whole list directly, just set the profile to public.

Gimped local multiplayer disqualifies this for me.
