Fucking hell, how such an autocorrect is even possible ?
Not natively speaking English so had a doubt but..
Thanks for catching that. And my most sincere apologies.

Edit: @scaine, overwatch and guild wars 2 here too
But Lutris also became the official framework to bring new recruits on star citizen, we have custom wine builds with backported fixes and it just works so well, best of all worlds.

Quoting: tuubiSeems like they already did. According to the list of runners [External Link] on their site, there's a "lutris-5.21" version of the Wine runner available.
I was following Tanis' updates on the news channel of the discord, I might have missed that but that's great news. Linux translation layers golden age! :D

Hopefully lutris wine build will get passed wine 5.7 with recent fixes, lots of good news! :D

Thanks to all the #vkd3d-dev channel on VKx discord server!
Always helping and patching to support latest games, Death Stranding was working flawlessly shortly after release back in July!

And may Józef Kucia rest in peace, we won't forget the hardwork!

Thanks @lectrode!
I read those articles back then but wasn't sure about proton when a native version was around the corner, many thanks!

I bought it last week, couldn't wait, will the purchase count towards a Linux sale ? (What about gifts ? Is there literature on how steam sort sales types ?)

Also will the saves from playing with Proton be compatible, I believe so but I'd rather ask.

Seemed like a nice Linux hex-grid advance wars, though not a fan of "USA will once again save the world" even if that's against a fantasy/sci-fi threat. I might support the game for the Linux work from devs nonetheless, I just hope the story gets an interesting plot twist.

Cyberpunk adventure Quadrilateral Cowboy goes 64bit on Linux

Quoting: EikeCan anyone recommend it?
I do, one of my favourite game.
Though be warned this is a cyberpunk puzzle, you will have to enter a few simple commands on a portable computer to solve puzzles, but the retro look (vinyl walkman and so on) is hilarious. It also features a rather interesting background story starring women.

Early supporter here so I don't think I've even tried Linux version.

I've moved to other lands but I'm glad Ubuntu MATE is still around and quite popular (I remember when it was roughly an unofficial flavour).

I'm not a fond of how gnome handles the windows especially huge game applications windows, heavily consider changing for something else on my fedora station at work. :/
