Changing your country on Steam has been made harder to battle VPNs

Quoting: F.Ultra
Quoting: slapinWell, in case of Ubisoft or when you either VPN or torrent, this choice will bias things towards torrent which I don't like. I wonder why Sony Playstation managed to do it right and Steam can't do it...
What do you mean by "Sony Playstation managed to do it right"? AFAIK they have both regional locking and prices.

Sony made sure everyone gets the same content for regional prices, so you do not get poorly localized version without ability to switch to original language. On playstation you get the same game with all the stuff in it, not crippled version.

I would be much happier to buy game for higher price but without region restrictions.

3D adventure thriller 'Beyond a Steel Sky' is out now for Linux PC
20 Jul 2020 at 3:28 pm UTC

Playing, works nice on i7 2600K/GTX1060, some rough edges and graphics glitches but did not need to touch anything in settings.
Nothing which would spoil a game for me, no crashes.

Colourful open-world adventure Pine overhauls various gameplay features

Played the game before, it is nice but not something which would attract me much. It is not fast paced, but not meditative either, which makes me feel uneasy playing it. Can't say there was anything broken with it regarding gameplay. Hope the change did not make it worse.

Wine 5.11 is out with more NTDLL work, NetIO kernel driver started
22 Jun 2020 at 11:39 am UTC

Wine is not an emulator, so the architecture it runs on = "emulated" architecture. So you have to run Wine on 32-bit PowerPC to run 32-bit PowerPC apps. The architecture itself is live and thriving in embedded sector, but has nothing to do with windows. Evan though it would be nice to run PowerPC apps for NT, it is hard to find machine to run Wine on. Maybe some oldie PowerMacs off ebay can do this.

There's now a Proton build for running Red Dead Redemption 2 on Linux

Kind of works but kind of not. Probably AMD is fixed now, but on Nvidia I get errors and can't past starting Rockstar logo.

Morrowind lives on with a major new OpenMW release out

Have they made it easier to build, like docker container or script to get dependencies?
They depend on very fresh versions of some stuff...

What is bad about it? Is there single player, as I'm not interested in MP?
