Quoting: TheSHEEEPIt is their decision, me finding it weird hardly qualifies as bashing.

I get what you are saying. It makes for a simpler transition.
But then it begs the question, What is the point in using 2 OS'?

If we ignore the endless amount of reasons related to working, and just focus on games:
To play games that won't run (or very badly) on Linux (w/wo Wine).

I'm a gamer first, Linux user second. If a game I'd very much like to play really requires Windows, then Windows it shall be.

Makes sense.
But still, wouldn't it be better if you just stayed on Windows?

Then I'd have to deal with Windows' inefficiencies and annoyances way more than necessary.
There's a reason a prefer Linux, just like everyone else here - and it sure ain't the lower selection of games working on it.

Quoting: GuestIf you just want to Play just stay with Windows. I for myself use Linux Mostly. For everything else i mostly use my Consoles. Only for maybe 2 Games i some times (rarely) switch to Windows.

But yeah if you are a "gamer" (i hate that word btw) then just stay at Windows.

I also use Linux mostly. Except when I need Windows to run certain games (or for work).

I feel like both of you did not understand the concept of first & second. Yes, being able to play games is most important to me (and if the Linux situation concerning games was as bad as it was 4-5 years ago, I wouldn't be here).
But the second most important thing (using the OS I'm more comfortable with) is still important.
It's not an "either or" situation.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI'd use it if it wasn't Linux only.
As it is, Lutris is almost as useless to me as that Windows-only equivalent (forgot the name).

While I get your reasoning (and like cross platform apps as well), this has to be the first criticism I've seen in the Linux world aimed at an app for being a Linux exclusive. Wow!

Nobody is going to try out or switch to Linux because of a piece of software, especially not if there are already better alternatives on Windows (afaik, Playnite has more integrations). It doesn't help in making Linux more ... palatable.

Plus, catering to a rather small audience from the get-go seems like a very weird decision.
I get why devs would make Windows exclusives, I really do not get why devs would make Linux exclusives.

Because nobody need Lutris on Windows.

Does it ring a bell?

Your reasoning/ bashing here is just absurd.

There is no bashing going on here, I merely explained my reasoning for not being interested in Lutris and my confusion as to why anyone would develop such a software and making it Linux only when there are ample tools available to develop it cross-platform instead.
It is their decision, me finding it weird hardly qualifies as bashing.
But it is very telling that you think there is any bashing. Touchy subject?

Oh, I'm also going to remind you that "nobody needs X on Linux" next time you wish some software was cross-platform and not Windows only...

Which one btw? Playnite or Launchbox (AKA big box)?

Didn't even know there were two. I meant Playnite, anyway.

name of chrome extension ?

Tabli, in combination with Chrome's ability to sync your browser's data across devices if you are logged in.

Why? You don't use Linux? If you do, I don't understand your reasoning.

I use Steam on Windows.
I use Steam on Linux.
Same for pretty much every piece of software I use. Hell, I even have a Chrome plugin to make sure I have the same tabs open wherever I open the browser.
I stopped using GOG because I have no hope it will ever come to Linux.
When I switch platforms, I don't want to switch the software I use (well, other than the OS, duh).

Can't wait to get into the game once it is finally finished.

Quoting: Sojiro84I guess I just should talk to every person in every town?

Always in these games.

Quoting: Sojiro84Seems like this was made just for me! I can't remember ever playing a game like this and I barely played the game since the official release. I walked around a bit, talked to a few people but got no clue what to do or where to go.

No big shiny markers pointing me where to go, which is fine, but the first combat encounter I had I died straight away vs a bear. I was weak and had no weapons.

Also I was dieing of hunger and have no clue how to make/get food. So hopefully this tutorial explains all that so I can actually enjoy and play the game instead of leaving it collecting dust.

I remember the times when not everything was presented to the player on a silver platter and people were actually able to figure out complicated stuff like food being sold by vendors / prepared at campfires or the quest journal not spelling out every detail, instead just giving hints...
Modern games really turned lots of gamers into... less self-reliant versions of themselves. A shame.

Seriously, though, how was your first combat encounter a bear? They really are rather brutal early on, but the game starts with that campfire scene, which is a combat, followed by going immediately to the first town, which has a couple of rats and insects around for new players to gain XP with. Accompanied by a quest that will make you run into those.
