I wonder how his Linux transition is going. He hasn’t written anything about it since the initial posts.

I put a lot of hours into HL: Alyx today, so many in fact I had to charge the controllers twice! It's splendid, but I'm now at a point it's becoming a little repetitive, I hope it throws something new my way soon. The way things are, I won't be able to play until next weekend most likely, unfortunately.

I've also been playing a little of Seers Isle, a very pretty VN. It's quite good story-wise, it's been a pleasant diversion after all the head crabs.

As for controllers, I just use all the Dualshocks 4 I have around the house. I gave up on the Steam Controller, no right stick is game-breaking for me.

Sometimes you can’t because new hardware from AMD comes out and support is nowhere to be seen in the kernel and/or mesa and you get it in bits and pieces months later. Both Intel and Nvidia manage to sort out their shit way in advance (Intel) or by launch date (Nvidia) and AMD can’t. That’s the real issue here.

This is a dangerous slope.

What’s the difference between this and telling a male writer he can’t write a female character because he’s not one?

Oh, and a Southern Islands GPU from 2013 I own gets constant hard lockups until this day. I don't believe it'll ever be usable with Linux.

Quite, roughly one year after the cards came out.

I recently bought a Ryzen 3xxx laptop. A CPU from one year ago. It was unstable in Mint 20, I had to go hunting for newer kernels.

Ryzen 4xxx just came out. You need to go hunting for newest kernels to make it work.

Whenever AMD comes out with something more radically new months of hurt await again.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Heart of the Forest has a limited-time demo up

That's pretty good, well written and nicely drawn and animated. It took me perhaps 40 minutes to get through the demo.
