OK, maybe that is only my shitty connection to the interwebs, but last time i watched a stream of a friend playing a game on steam there was quite a bit of a delay involved. That would suggest it's more or less intended for turn based stuff for patient people?

Yay another witch hunt!
Why do I always have to wonder if the hunters really feel themselves morally driven to burn people at the stake or if they just use this tool of public assassination to further their own immoral agendas?
There does not seem to be much evolution in that department from the earliest stages of recorded history. does there?

Anyway,
I would like to express some sincere gratitude to Dr. Stallman for the work he has done and wish him the best for the future.

@Althorion
You probably have your system sound not set to max. Linux tends to tune down voice and bass channels before the others.
Some voices in BT are on the ambient sound slider (whatever it may be called in game) instead of voices so that would be the second thing to check.

The game was released 7 years ago and now find it necessary to implement an anticheat function?....at the cost of playability for basically all Linux users on top?... Well given the sorry state of the Linux client I am not surprised - shame considering the Linux version allowed me to finally make the jump away from dual booting a few years back but they never fixed the clients issues and actually made it worse every update. Would love to play it again, but not in it's current state.

Great to see another release! Used it back in my WoW days some ten years ago. Never got into discord or steam voice since we conveniently have a TS3 server at our disposal for years now and the voice quality is still the best in TS. Still good to know there is an open source fallback available and maintained.

What have you been playing this week and what are you clicking on this weekend?

Let me think... when was the last time I watched a flawless live-stream or played an online game without regular latency, connection or server issues... still thinking...

Double Fine Productions have delayed Psychonauts 2 until next year, all versions still planned

Let's wait and see. Not that I would get my hope up, but who knows? Between Epic's and Microsoft's purchases this has been quite a concerning year but if push comes to shove we'll still have proton so the hit will not be that fatal.
