I wonder how wine is now with the resident evil 1 remake on steam

That's one that I remember having issues with video playback years ago

Even with proprietary drivers steam big picture mode is unusable for me on my main nvidia desktop

I never considered steamos or linux in general as a way to "kill" windows but rather give people the choice, and I for one have loved embracing the open-source, community driven ideology behind Linux, where-as windows hasn't done anything innovative or good since like Windows 7

Always love reading these, especially as I never tried linux back in the day so it's interesting to read stuff like this!

I've been having a great time with batocera, turning old office pcs and the like into little retro gaming consoles

Things like sinden lightgun and racing wheels are pretty plug and play too

Both this and pilet look insanely cool

I do like the discussions around how cool it'd be to have a little open source linux phone

Had my midrange phone about 6 years and needing an upgrade, mostly because it's battery is starting to go but honestly would love something more open-source

Same reason I never bought a tablet, not a big fan of how closed down they are, so I'd love a little open source tablet like the pilet as well

Was playing it yestutday on w11 while I wait for the native linux port

I'm so happy, this along with perfect dark are two of my fav n64 games, countless hours playing both as a kid and now both have native pc ports :D

Quoting: KlaasThe name of the Sony president has to be the Japanese equivalent to Mäxchen Müller in German (i.e. a generic placeholder name).

My question is: Does anyone else think that Sony has lost the ability to innovate? It seems that they are stuck with randomly buying some successful company, closing it if there isn't a massive revenue stream at once and then switching to the next target…

I feel they lost it years ago, at least for me

I grew up with ps1, then ps2 in my teen years and the amount of fun games hold alot of memories

But things like the GOW reboots and Last of Us ect isn't my cup of tea, I want fun platformers, or quirky games like Mr.mosquito, or super rub a tub on the ps3

Apart from astro bot there's not really much on the ps5 that makes me feel I need to buy one

and even things like the anniversary themes that appeal to someone like me, its time limited apparently! What a shame

Quoting: Tau

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeI just wish valve would let us launch games without having to update them

I've wanted this for years, even before proton as I've had experiences where game updates either break the game, or even just flat-out remove content

You can launch a game without updating if you enter disconnected mode

From my understanding that only works if an update isn't available

If you're online and a game has an update available, and THEN you enter offline mode it won't work, the game has to be fully up to date

Quoting: Caldathras

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeI just wish valve would let us launch games without having to update them

I get around this by setting the games to update when game launches and putting the Steam client in offline mode. Games only update when the client is online.

That way, I can take the client online without starting a whole ton of downloads. Of course, unlike most folks, I tend to game without an Internet connection most of the time ...

I've not tried in awhile but doesn't it work like I described above to the other person?

I'd like to be able to connect a steam client online, either to download games or check the store ect, but also have certain games just never update, something more convenient then having to switch to offline mode

I feel its even more important now with their focus on proton, as game updates can make the difference between a game working on linux or not
