I’m a 27 year old furry. my fursona is a fox. I’m agender; any pronouns are fine with me.
I would like to add:
If your game isn’t on Steam, but is on any other popular (or infamous) launcher, odds are it’s also on Lutris with an install script to get it working. Lutris is on Flathub and is officially maintained by the Lutris team so it is available regardless of your Distro.
Lutris is also a good way to install any F2P games that are not on Steam or that you don’t want to rely on Steam for.
Happy gaming!
I actually extended your PSA over to my Misskey. A great discussion ensued followed by this term and one other being added to the slur list. :P
I feel like a lot of people here need to stop taking this information so damn personally. You didn’t know, great, that means you’re not racist. Now you do know. So just… Stop? That’s it. OP wasn’t even a dick about it.
Personally, I’m grateful when I get a heads up that certain terms are racist, so thank you OP!
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Still should defed them immediately
No, I don’t think it would be productive in the least, but it would be hysterical and worth eating popcorn to!
His battle with Rowling will be legendary
With how abysmally little as they make from Spotify, this isn’t much different. They make anywhere from 0.003-0.005¢ per stream. If you really want to support artists, buy music from their Bandcamp or Qobuz, but don’t pay for Spotify; the only people winning in that exchange is Spotify.
This is also a great way to handle it; malicious compliance/monkey paw. Makes for some humorous moments.
And yeah, if a player is constantly having to be told no, a talk may need to be had, and if it can’t be resolved, they probably need to go. It’s also a reason why Session 0’s are so important; talking out what’s expected of the campaign both on the part of the players and what the GM has in mind.
I 90% agree. I think most of the opposition to this comes from people exhausted with habitual boundary-pushers who think that a nat 20 means they can get away with defying the laws of reality.
Like, no, a nat20 persuasion does not convince the merchant to give you half his stock and all the money in the register… He would go broke and he’s got a family to support, along with his own survival that your nat20 does not also convince him to stop caring about.
But at the end of the day, a lot of GMs who are sick of that need to be sent the dictionary page for the word “no.” The occasional use of it really does improve the quality of the game, and I’m sure plenty of players will appreciate not letting aforementioned boundry pushers continue to waste time on impossible pursuits that do nothing to move the game forward.
Idk, that’s sounding a lot like they were just exceptionally prepared to find out.
I’m on the older end of Gen Z. I’m not even 30 yet, but I’m with you. I didn’t start there though; a lot of us are raised by people who either drank the kool-aid or are too beaten down by capitalism to care, so give them awhile to get there.
I’ve never played Rimworld, so I don’t know the modding situation on it.
I attempted to mod Skyrim, and as far as I can tell, it’s not that the mods don’t work, it’s that the primary mod manager Nexus is currently using (Vortex) is kind of a pain in the ass to set up on Linux. They are currently working on a new mod manager that should be natively compatible and should resolve that issue.
But for every other game I’ve ever modded on Linux it works exactly the same as it does on Windows.
Truthfully, outside of the handful of games that don’t want me playing them because of my OS, 90% of my games work exactly the same, if not better. The remaining 10% might require a little tinkering to get running, or have some weird hiccup (having to run it in Proton instead of native because for some reason they’re “different versions” thus menaing I can only play with friends on Windows in the Proton version), but I honestly couldn’t be happier.
It feels like I’m playing on my computer again, not Microsoft’s computer.
Warhammer 40k: Darktide has some absolute fucking bangers:

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s entire soundtrack is also a masterpiece but just to share a few:

I appreciate posts like this. It’s nice to see people calling out this shit.
Every time I see so-called “progressives” talking about succeeding from the union or writing off southern states, I feel incredibly terrified and abandoned as a queer person born and raised in Texas.
So… What? I just get to die? I’m just an “unfortunate casualty” Collateral? I get it’s tiresome. I get it’s scary what’s happening. But don’t call yourself an ally if you’re not willing to fight tooth and nail for us. Cause I guarantee, if states started succeeding, it would be game fuckin’, over for a lot of minorities. There would be no way out of the shit holes we’re trapped in, and nobody to speak up or fight for us when they start actually shipping us off to “Wellness Farms.”
This is absolutely mad cope, but I want to believe that, as forward thinking as Gabe is, he either will find a worthy successor, or already has one lined up to ensure the company isn’t saced for all it’s worth when he’s gone.
At the very least, it would be far more of a circus, as the follow-up articles would read “LINUX KERNEL CREATOR LINUS TORVALDS MAKES DEVESTATING REPLY TO FOSS DRAMA!”
But yeah, I think shit like that would just make devs want to go work for a company, because at least when they make a shitty closed sourced, exploitive program people are mad at the company, not them, specifically. They don’t have to deal with this shit.
I’m really glad Torvalds is the kind of person to flip articles like this off and carry on with his day and just not be affected by it at all. When the time comes, I hope whoever carries the torch is just as well.
Roots of Pacha is a really nice Stardew Valley inspired farming game with a very unique setting (stone age). Could be worth checking out for you.
A lot of dev companies treat their native Linux versions like an afterthought, if they don’t outright outsource the project to a 3rd party. That’s why the Proton version typically works better if the title isn’t Indie. If an Indie dev makes the port, it’s probably alright.
Admittedly, I think this is one thing about Linux gaming that Proton will make worse, now that devs can just test the game in Proton and not even bother with a native Linux version. I don’t foresee that changing unless Linux somehow becomes the overwhelming majority OS, and while I think it will take a good chunk of market share in the coming years, I don’t foresee it becoming the overwhelming majority for some time.
