I'm still annoyed that they didn't bother to fix the plant respawning in the 64 bits re-release.

Quoting: F.UltraUnfortunately not many lib deverlopers think about keeping ABI compatibility, one major culprit here is SDL, thankfully there are external devs trying to fix this like https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat [External Link] that is a lib that is ABI compatible with v1.2 of SDL but that uses the newer 2.x distro supplied lib for the actual implementation, aka a shim.

The shim you linked to is a project that is part of the official SDL github account and has many commits by icculus and other SDL developers, so it is debatable that only external devs care about compatibility issues.

So is there no way to make the native version work again?

I recently started replaying the game, but now I'm away from my desktop computer, so I can't check. I've encountered some slowdowns with the native version and it always crashed on exit, so I switched to proton, but it would be sad if it was gone forever.

Concerning the game itself: I hate the checkpoint-based save system with only one slot. I know you can somehow go back via the chapter select system in new game plus, but that is not the same. After I've noticed that I've missed one infusion, I'm not sure whether I should continue that playthrough or start at the beginning.

Quoting: scaineDon't use NTFS for anything, under Linux.

Unless you need to be able to access something in a dual boot setup. Otherwise avoid.

Quoting: clatterfordslimYou will notice some frame drops to begin with, but once you buy some web swing skills with XP points, the frame rates go up and up.

This sounds interesting. Is that a coincidence or is there a causal relationship?

I've never seen the blue roads bug, but I've only played the game one free weekend some time ago until I finally bought it this year.

There is https://www.archlinux.de/ [External Link], it seems to be up to date, but the package descriptions are not translated.

Quoting: randylFor channel authors YouTube may suck, but for consumption YouTube is pretty good.

It depends. The next video recommendations have a tendency to point towards conspiracy theories, dangerous crafts hacks and other weird stuff.

Some of the age gate flags are very weird. A few years ago people started abusing the system to soft ban some music videos by a German TV station that made fun of Putin although there wasn't anything age sensitive at all.

Quoting: lectrodeIt would be interesting to know exactly what in the video caused it to do that.

Maybe the discussing changelog. Too much text on the screen. It seems that many of the videos that instruct the viewers in questionable methods of software acquisition write URLs in a text editor.

Quoting: Craggles086Doesn’t China own Tangent?

Do you mean Tencent? If yes, then yes.

Embracer, Microsoft, Tencent with Epic (and Valve) are the likely survivors.
