Quoting: SethMInteresting to see that only 1 game here is "unplayable" on Steam deck, and it is exciting to see that none of the games in this bundle are completely borked on desktop. A trend I've been seeing increasingly often recently.

The Deck is simply the best thing that happened to Linux gaming. More care in the industry and Proton continues to get better all the time. Amazing times.

Quoting: CybolicOh, that's a tricky one! While I like pretty much everything about the concept, I also dislike pretty much everything about the audio :/
If there's an option to disable the soundtrack and voices, I'm in :grin:

I quite liked the soundtrack. It's the shirt on the driver I have a problem with. I think neither TÛV, the DMV or the MOT would approve of it for driving (or flying)!

Soundtrack and voices are what makes this a spiritual successor to Crazy Taxi more then the obviously inspired gameplay. Wishlisted :D

Is this the first time a store has added Linux support without hordes of us demanding it upfront? Kind of nice, will keep it in mind. And the cheesy Projects/AboutUs pages really remind me of old days :D

Kind of crazy that these people managed to add Linux support and bigger stores with way more money fail to do so.

Nintendo are no doubt warming up their lawyers.

That makes Nintendo's lawyers sound somewhat robotic. But I'm sure that wasn't Liam's intent. :grin:

Damn, I bet one could make a nice Nintendo-like rpg about a person who developed a Nintendo fan-game and then fights their way through thousands of lawyers. CEO bossfights and all.

Quoting: eldakingThat's a really nice project, I'll definitely look more into it.

Tabletop Simulator is a good resource, because it can be used for lots and lots of different games and is fairly easy for people to make mods (no programming necessary), even if it is not the most convenient (for games that have proper digital adaptations). But being a closed, proprietary platform is less than ideal as your mod/adaptation/prototype becomes locked into it, and everyone needs to have bought it to join the game (it is decently cheap, but when you want to play a game "on the fly" it is another hurdle to make sure everyone has it or is willing to buy it on a whim).

Also, the devs of TTS can be problematic, like when they added a bunch of awful machine translations as if they had localized the game to all the languages, and it created a lot of issues for players where the game defaulted to those. So it's good to have more alternatives beyond TTS/tabletopia (and other, non-physics based implementations of course).

TTS is certainly expensive enough to keep people from joining. I have some friends with TTS and for some games, we definitely prefer it to anything else. Yet we play online boardgames with lots of different people and we only ever got one person to buy TTS once.

I'm currently thinking about *joining* this project and getting into tooling. I think having lots of "smart" helper objects that can help you do tedious tasks is the key to a really good board-game sandbox.

Quoting: KROMToo bad that I've installed a couple of games to my new SD card yesterday and changed Heroic's folders to point to the SD card. The rollback therefore broke my Heroic installation. *sighs*

Anybody knows where I can tell Heroic, that the games are now in a different location? I've found where I can change the path to the prefix, but not the path to the installation itself.

NVM. De-Install game but keep prefix. Re-Install game and chose "Import game" instead of re-downloading. Might be faster to edit a file where the paths are stored, if you need to do this for many games, but could not find it, so that's the best solution I've found.

Maybe symlinks could help? KDEs Dolphin can create these via dnd or just use ln -s

Quoting: constThe biggest improvement for me is the inclusion of KDE connect.

Ah yes I regret I was ignoring KDE Connect for months, because it is the most convenient way of moving files between devices like pc and phone over local network, and more of stuff which I don't really use often, but it's nice to have for later.

It really is. Modded a game recently, following a tutorial on pc. With KDE connect, I could not only move files, but also share my clipboard and skip so much typing... incredible improvement.
And the more devices have it, the more useful it gets :)

I still hope KDE devs manage to press it into a flatpak with all its features.

This unmounts the removable drive, it does not physically eject it

... well duh.

Did they really have to write this? :unsure:

You've seen the Steam forums right? People in general are not particularly smart :P

Can confirm. I moderate the Rocket League Steam Discussions for Psyonix and people are definitely not too bright.

So, you essentially work for epic, but for free?

I bought this game because of a recommendation here a few years back. Sadly, it wasn't for me. To me, it felt more like the original PS1 Wipeouts and I somewhat got used to the much more comfortable feeling of Wipeout HD (Fury).
