Inspired by the TV show in the LEGO Movie, "Where are my pants?". I wonder.

Wine 7.0 changed the joystick/gamepad input to use USB HID so it may be a bug related to that. Wine 6 used a different mechanism for joystick/gamepad support.

The Assassin Creed Odyssey unsupported driver window drove me nuts. It had to be dismissed prior to loading a game otherwise you were stuck with it for that session IIRC.

Quoting: flesk

Quoting: rcritLooks pretty good for what I think is an Electron app.

I didn't poke very hard but I don't see bundles anywhere. Like on their web page, bundle items are hidden until you download them "in order to avoid flooding your library." But bundles don't seem to be available at all in the app, just the games already downloaded.

If I remember correctly, you can paste https://itch.io/my-purchases/bundles [External Link] into the address bar of the Itch client, and navigate from there to download games from your purchased bundles.

Excellent tip, thanks. There are like 49 pages of things in the bundle I bought.

I also noticed that if you own a game in a bundle you can still buy another copy of it. I'm not sure if that's a bug or a feature.

Don't want to be a downer, I've generally enjoyed this series, but this article seems more like a review of SoF than "getting old games to run".

Quoting: EhvisThey do, but lately they've also been giving Gog, Epic and Origin keys.

Nice, I had no idea.

Quoting: orzo

A lot of the heavy lifting involved (in libdeco) was done by Ethan Lee (...) almost all of the work involved was funded by sponsors of their GitHub.

Gnome/RedHat aren't exactly supportive of native Linux gamedev, are they.

nit: two words, Red Hat

I'm not sure what you mean by not supportive. Red Hat employs a number of big contributors to graphics libraries and drivers like Mesa and nouveau.

Quoting: ljrkMaybe kind of a nitpick, but to me this kind of implies that C++ would be some kind of "updated" Version of C. The next C standard is likely C23, so will it then be "more modern" than C++20?

These are simply two different languages that evolve separately although the workgroups do coordinate development together.

So in C a trailing ++ adds one after use which means that C++ is 11 to C's 10. It's for when you're coding and need that one little push over the cliff[1], you've got 11. C++.
