Quoting: chris.echozAlready been donating a few bucks a month since 2019 now, but this made me discover you added the "supporter email" feature I've been missing. Is it supposed to work right away (it doesn't for me), or will the badge show up after the next payment comes thru?

Regardless, thank you for all the great work over the years :heart:
Hi, you can actually ensure it works by using the Patreon account linker.
I'm using PayPal, but I see the badge now :grin:

Seems the big Chinese surge on Steam is over - Steam Survey for April 2023

Quoting: TheSHEEEP"Freedesktop.org SDK 22.08 (Flatpak runtime) 64 bit 7.61%"

What is that?
That means Flatpak users. For compatibility and isolation it runs within a container, so whatever distro you're actually on isn't what Steam will see.

Quoting: Rafii2198Wait, Minecraft from Windows Store? Is it now playable on Linux? Or did I not understand correctly?
Minecraft Windows 10 Edition is just the Bedrock version aka the C++ rewrite of Java minecraft.
Well I know that, but you need Microsoft Store to download it which is not present on Linux as far as I know.

I wasn't able to run it out of the box, but I suppose that is to be expected.

Wooting announced the new analog 60% Wooting 60HE keyboard
19 Oct 2021 at 7:25 pm UTC

Quoting: slaapliedjeCan we please have one with a 10key? People ask me, 'why do you need a 10 key' here are the reasons...
1) I use it generally to type in 2fa codes...
2) A lot of older games used the 10key as the controls, and I'm too lazy to rebind everything to more modern standards of WASD.
3) Emulation. Where the keypad is used either as joystick emulation or even more software that requires the keypad for movement.
The second keyboard they made, the Wooting Two, and the updated Wooting Two HE are full-size. This is the first one they're making that's this small.

I already had the proton version, and when this came out I got an update that just deleted the game. It says it's 0 bytes, and reinstalling only downloads the shader cache.

This game never worked for me, and still doesn't. VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.
Not sure what's wrong with it, everything else with Vulkan works just fine.
