Quoting: nullzeroFYI if anyone wants to try the game via Heroic/proton, it seems Sail Forth will be the next week's free game on Epic Store (11-18 Jan). And btw right now the giveaway is Guardians of the Galaxy.

Not that Epic matters much for the linux ecossystem, I though there might be at least someone interested here.

Yup, while I heavily encourage everyone on Linux to buy on Steam and support the platform that gives us at least some priority... If you are pressed for money, Epic Games Store freebies are a good way to enjoy some good games. And Heroic Games Launcher is a terrific way to enjoy EGS and GOG games.

Bodycam (..) shooter

New genre emerges?

No doubt it will be another handheld running Windows though

If I got a dollar for every time I saw an ROG Ally ad in super-mainstream places online...

Frustrating to see how easily ASUS and Microsoft can throw huge money at promoting it.

I understand that Valve took another avenue because they have the advantage of holding such central place in PC gaming but still... Frustrating.

Quoting: CatKillerAt some point I'll probably try Witcher 3, but my copy was a GOG key that came with my GPU so I'd need to set up Heroic and stuff, and I haven't really been arsed. (..) there's no rush.

Setting up Heroic is rather painless ☺️. But yeah this is why we love Steam and the native client!

What have you been playing recently on either Steam Deck or desktop Linux?

Skyrim on Desktop with Steam Link and Steam Controller! Mostly because I had no mindspace for trying out new stuff lately...

I started Divinity: Original Sin 1 but did not have time to play it much past like the first 3 hours.

And I regularly play Fall Guys with friends thanks to the Heroic Games Launcher goodness.

Quoting: whizseI was actually about to start playing The Dark Eye today. Now I need to ponder. To ScummVM or not to ScummVM?

Good question. It sports Platinum rating on ProtonDB through Proton so I guess you can stick with it. Or try both.

Soon it will run any game, retro or contemporary alike 😛

Thanks to this project Daggerfall aged... Surprisingly well? It's just very much different to everything Elder Scrolls that came after. Huge, and I mean HUGE open world, lots of procedural generation, interactions and politics in the ever changing world and more.

Morrowind is a game from my era and Oblivion is my favorite so I always had difficulty getting into Daggerfall which was less streamlined. Now enjoying it thanks to this project. DF Unity is a godsend.

All 5 mainline TES games are fully playable on Steam on Linux btw:

- Arena - Dosbox through Luxtorpeda
- Daggerfall - DF Unity through Luxtorpeda
- Morrowind - OpenMW through Luxtorpeda
- Oblivion - Proton
- Skyrim (both legacy version and current Special/Anniversary Edition) - Proton

And then TES: Online and TES: Legends, also work great with Proton.
