Quoting: chimpyHey Liam I know you wrote an article a couple of years ago about your experience with the g29 racing wheel under Linux, but maybe you can do an update to that article since more games and more applications to configure the wheel have popped up. Oh and also your experiences with using it with Proton would be nice too :)
Perhaps, will think on that! To be honest, I personally rarely use Proton so to do that I would actually have to buy some Windows racers to write about how good/bad it is under Proton.

PS: Please don't block me :)
I'm sure you know exactly what I meant, as do most people. No major store supports BSD, that was point by my tweet.

Quoting: denyasisOn a side note, how is slime rancher for young kids? In particular, ones that can't read yet. I'd like to introduce them to the world of Linux gaming, but finding games for kids that young (and not so stupidly annoying to an adult) is a lot harder than I thought.

Happy holidays.

My own kid was able to enjoy it quite a lot, thankfully there's not a big amount of reading needed to get the basic idea down.
I guess in that age, you should accompany your kids anyway when they are playing computer games (at least when the game is new). It's still theory for me, though. :)
Yup, you will still need to be there with them. If they can't read, at that age any games IMO should absolutely be sat with a parent to play with.

Quoting: Laboratoryo_ni_NeilHow do I remove the black background of OJD when using OBS?
What you need to do is change the Chroma Key colour, look in the screenshot in the article -> bottom left. Then when in OBS Studio, add a Chroma Key filter to the Window Capture (right click window capture -> Filters) and make sure the colour matches :). Edit: Added to the article in case anyone else needed to know.

Quoting: UsualAny news on Awesome Adventure of Captain Spirit?
It's mentioned in the article, Feral have no plans to port it. Probably because it's free and they would get nothing from it.
