While I enjoyed the landscape painting, I never really connected with it as a strategy game. Couldn't spot how my choices impacted things - or if they did. Ended up just trying to do pretty towns for a while before giving up.

It would be interesting to see some comparison benchmarks, proton versus native, for this.

As for the debug suggestions... I mean it's what I would do anyway, I guess. Still, it's a bit like buying a lawn mower, reading the manual and finding the suggestion to "kick it really hard" if it won't work.

Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: brokkrI can't help feeling point number 1 doesn't do much to clear things up.

Wouldn't the release of Hitman (2016) on GOG be able to tick that box? Single player mode was accessible offline. Just not all of it. I would have given them more credit for including the word 'fully'. Or even 'fully*' with some allowable *-caveats.

I think that's the point of what they're saying, so stuff like HITMAN would now be allowed on.

Ah, I see. I thought they were renewing their vows, not negotiating an open marriage :dizzy:

BTW I absolutely thought this was Hunt Showdown when I saw the title. Too many games, too few words in the dictionary.

I just reinstalledc Broforce because I felt I was missing some simple sidescrolling popcorn action. This will fit the bill nicely. Thanks for the tip :)

Quoting: ArehandoroYou can still see the account ID from the donation in liberapay, isn't it? Wouldn't be possible to map the account ID, if a user wants, to the user in GOL? If the user does not have the real name in GOL or LiberaPay the donation would still be anonymous.

There must be a way I reckon. I donate, without PayPal, via LiberaPay to Codeberg [External Link] and they use that payment for my membership.

I read their 2021 new years status blog post [External Link] and the one change [External Link] they hope to ship this year is the option to donate un-anonymously.

Quoting: Liam DaweNot really. Liberapay just pays in a lump sum for each donation, even though everything still mentions weekly and so on. Whereas Patreon is a nice sum every month, that's what gives us the stability - as we know roughly what we will get each month with Patreon.

Yeah, I can see that. I hope at least the charges are up front because LP confused me a bit saying "Next payment is in a year". I'm guessing "next" here means "after the one that just went through that we just did".

Anyway, thanks for getting me to finally put my money where my mouth is :whistle:

I've been meaning to look into LiberaPay for a while anyway. Seems like a good time to get on that now. Liam, you mention the stability of Patreon but isn't LiberaPay just as stable?

I quit Patreon all those years back after the small donations 'scandal'. Can I ask: Is it dumb to still be sore about that? I felt like they never acknowledged _what_ actually was bad about what they did. Instead they just reversed course and a month later tried to joke about it, like 'oopsie haha!'

(Also: PayPal is Peter Thiel. F that guy. Seriously.)

Quoting: LinasI don't really like the switch from vertical workspaces to horizontal workspaces either. The way I managed to make the GNOME workflow work for me was through using a bunch of workspaces and the vertical layout and preview made managing that convenient. Bigger horizontal workspaces could mean that keeping track of windows and moving them around becomes more of a hassle.

My thoughts exactly. I fear that "easier understanding of workspaces" translates to dumb 'em down until they're next to useless as a way to organize your desktop.
