For the time being, Proton is good enough for me. I think devs/publishers refusing to enable their chosen anticheat to work with Proton is what is holding things back now for tech people. For other people, there’s even bigger challenges, and I doubt they even read up on these “tech nightmares” so they’re good with just continuing on with Windows.

I’d love to see another player, but I don’t think this is it.

Maybe I need to give Cyberpunk 2077 another shot.

Before private lobbies in GTA, I remember blocking ports for GTA in my firewall except to my friends’ IP addresses, which worked for a while.

GTA Online has terrible monetization and Rockstar are openly hostile towards PC as a platform, but I wouldn’t call GTA mediocre at all. There’s nothing quite like the attention to detail or breadth of GTA games. If you’ve played a few GTA clones, you’ll know what the competition looks like and it’s not even close.

I don’t want to discount what you saw, but I don’t think Linux gamers are even asking for official support. If they don’t want bug reports from Linux gamers because the reports would be “tainted” by an unsupported operating system, then they could have a banner on the submission page. I would argue, however, that they would be missing out on a lot of free bug testing where all of these companies are far too cheap to pay for proper bug testing these days.

At this point, Linux gamers would just appreciate the bare minimum being put forth with developers not breaking the games for them.

I found this Googling for it: https://www.techradar.com/phones/iphone/how-to-program-the-iphone-15-pro-action-button-to-trigger-chatgpt#section-step-by-step-guide

“in a world where search doesn’t exist, one man, one labrinth of folders he must click through.”

Oooh, pirates!

Right now Valve could disappear and gaming on Linux would continue, better for the efforts Valve have already made. I would think that the improvements would stagnate without Valve, though.

Non-Steam utilities like Lutris, Bottles and Heroic run games nearly as well as Steam. We’d carry on.

They would still pretend. And, though it would solve a lot of problems, it would remove purpose for so many people.

I work with a guy who suddenly developed this in the middle of a call. I had to help him back to the office, stopping so he could puke a couple times. He was gone for a while and I don’t think he ever got rid of it.

Those are pretty crazy. Written by Chris Barnes, apparently.

What does Cannibal Corpse say? Other than stuff like I cum blood.

Unless it’s broken where the hands are completely missing.

Sorry, I was mainly trying to say, “Good job, it’s impressive!” Your name is close to the name of a famous magician, so I was referring to your code as magic. Bit of a dumb joke.

Maybe simple to Chris Angel and his magic.

Thanks! Subscribed.

And that’s a deal breaker for me

Ah, I skipped 8 and 8.1 but I didn’t really hear much complaining at the time.
