What a year to be alive! You know which year it is... :whistle:

Looking at the more sane and realistic reviews, it's an easy pass for me.
The warning signs were there with the heavyhanded hype and constant media feeding, the "critics" "reviews" pre-launch are again a crime against the gaming community. 94% Critics Recommend on opencritic.com, 88 Critic Metascore on metacritic.com.

A 30€ expansion for a 60€ game, alright. Maybe one day. :neutral:
CP2077 currently 50% sale over at Humble, so that's something at least.

No sound in War Thunder on Linux? Here's a potential solution

I ran into a similarly weird one the other day, the native version of Ironcast [External Link] on Steam had no sound as it needed the 32-bit version of pipewire-alsa (pipewire-alsa:i386 for Debian).
Not something you'd normally have installed or need to have. :dizzy:
