The corpo dream of having people adhere to the idea of "you will own nothing and you will love it", beyond its sarcastic tone, is failing and I cannot be happier.

MP3 players are having a resurgence. Vynil is king and wired headphones are increasingly popular with gen z as is the whole 2000s aesthetic. AI is also being slowly rejected. The world is learning.

Stream nothing. Own what you consume. Do not let monthly subscriptions consume your financial independence.

I've digressed a bit here but I do think the future is that of less big business and more small businesses working with each other simply because there will be little to no jobs to be had after corporations outsource everything under the veil of "AI efficiency".

When big tech and every other "big whatever" gets forever contracts with governments around the world they will no longer need regular small consumers like us to rely on for profits and so all of their services will be created to serve none of our needs.

We will learn to provide for ourselves again and trade with each other for products and services since corporations already only exist to generate profit for stakeholders as per their fiduciary duty.

Quoting: tuubiIn Lutris you can [...] It's not as simple and intuitive as in some of the other launchers

That was my point.

I used Lutris for a long time and when I saw how bottles handles it I didn't look back.

I'll admit that the whole AI bs made me uninstall Lutris but I should have done it ages ago just for the ease of use that bottles has.

Otherwise they are both wine wrappers. Ease of use is the whole point.

Quoting: fenglengshun

Quoting: devlandLutris forces you to configure each game from scratch while bottles gives you one prefix aka bottle in which you can run things however you want.

Uh, no? I myself just uses the same prefix (and the same system Proton CachyOS) for Lutris, Heroic, and Faugus.

Lutris forces you to configure each game from scratch as in changing the lutris settings and not the prefix itself.

Lutris has, for each game or program you run through it, a different set of settings which you have to manually set.

In bottles the settings are the same for each bottle including the prefix. That makes it way easier for me when I want to run a new game through it by simply adding a new shortcut within the bottle to the game exe file without having to redo the other settings like how you do in Lutris.

Anyway, you're free to use whatever you want. Just wanted to clarify what we're talking about. :)

Switched to bottles a few days ago and it not only works better for my already installed games it's also way easier to set up. Lutris forces you to configure each game from scratch while bottles gives you one prefix aka bottle in which you can run things however you want. It's really hard to put it all into one short comment but if you're a long time lutris user like me then bottles will likely fix all your grievances.

There is also an appimage repo on github in case you don't want to use flatpak. https://github.com/ivan-hc/Bottles-appimage [External Link]

Uninstalled.
The whole thing was going down hill anyway after they reworked the wine version management system a la auto downloading versions without my consent. F that sh1t.

It's a shame that they don't support Linux on desktop pcs but it's a good start to have it only for the steam deck.

Warhammer 3 really fucked up the siege battles. Turned them into mobile tower defense bs. And it's a damn shame that they abandoned Warhammer 2 which would have been the definitive fantasy warhammer experience with some of the QoL improvements from the last game.

And, yeah, the base game is essenyially just a demo without the ridiculously expensive dlcs. Stick with the second game since the third looks more and more like a failed experiment.

Apparently all mentions of Russia and russians have been removed from the game assets.

I understand why they would want to do this but it's a huge shame to do this to games that take place in fictional contexts.

Remember that these games also have the option to be run via openxray which also fixes bugs and adds qol enhancements.
