Go, Steam Deck, Go!

Such an awesome device and I'm glad it's getting more and more people into Linux. It's about time people start moving away from Windows and it's terrible changes they're doing lately with adding AI and ads in their OS.

This is one of the several reasons why I despise Kickstarter projects like this because they try to promise something but cancel it at the last minute due to reasons. In the case of this project, the developer should've known that macOS and Linux don't have larger player bases like Windows and shouldn't have offered those versions if they've never done it before.

Off topic, but when I first saw the name Garry Newman, it reminded me of this guy:

Now, if EA can continue to get rid of their crappy launcher in a bunch of their other games that use it, that would be great. Also, if can also get rid of their crappy anti-cheat and make their games playable again on Steam Deck/Linux, then they can take my money again.

Reading all of this makes me reminisce about the good old days when you got the complete games on cartridge/CD/DVD and not having to think about DRMs existence on consoles.

Quoting: Mohandevir

Quoting: MohandevirAnti-cheat should be supported on the Steam Deck, but on the other hand, most of these games are unfit for the handheld form factor and as proof of that, it doesn't seem to impact the Steam Deck sales. It is sad for Linux desktops, though.

Anti-cheat is supported on the Steam Deck but many game companies want to use their tools that are kernel based, which doesn't work on Linux. Steam Deck support EAC and BattlEye anti-cheat software but not every game company uses it though.

I already know this. I wasn't into the details of how it was or should be supported. They should enable ac proton support. That's what I meant. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough.

Ah, I see. I wasn't sure what you meant before but make sense now.

Quoting: DrakkerAnimal Well is absolutely fantastic, its a lot of fun. Provided you like puzzles and are a completionist at heart... If so, grab it, it's worth it.

I was thinking about picking it up but will wait for better sales on the game.

I only heard about this game from some Reddit page and from watching the video, it looks pretty awesome to play. For now, I'll wishlist as a reminder to get this game when it goes on sale.

After reading this article, it's enough to tell me to tell MS to shove it with their AI crap and I'm glad I stopped using their OS for over a decade and a half. I really wished the Year of the Linux was a reality back in the 2000s and beyond, but yet here we are still stuck with Windows and it's their invasive AI crap :sad:
