Loaded up Detroit Become Human on Steam Deck and the main menu lady told me โ€œOops, I think your save game is corruptโ€

*she looks really concerned*

โ€ฆ.โ€Just kiddingโ€

Not gonna lie that got me, was about to cry ๐Ÿ˜†

@gamingonlinux that game is _so_ good, I couldn't put it down

@gamingonlinux That feels rude... But I guess a "fun rude" ...

Game performs horribly on Deck though even on all Low scaled down.

My article on the recent Proton Hotfix and Proton Experimental changes was updated to note two more Proton Experimental fixes for launcher problems on Steam Deck / Linux

@gamingonlinux
Good that there's a workaround, but non the less that this sort of thing is why I think twice before getting any game that forces it's own launcher

@gamingonlinux saw your article (and posts in Reddit) and I have to ask if you have any inputs/ideas on what other problems may arise at using the experimental proton? Thanks.

@gamingonlinux Valve needs to allow users to filter out games with Launchers. I don't want to buy games that have a Launcher.

@gamingonlinux Hanlon's Razor does come into effect, but I've not seen a huge amount of evidence to suggest that you are "very quick to pretend that breakage is malicious". I have seen, "really fucking sucks" enough that someone might think that it's the same thing.

It does suck. There have been some games I want to play on my Linux box, that I've not managed to be able to. One, I think it's "anti-cheat" making it not work. And another... For some reason mods don't work (not a need).

@gamingonlinux
I might be the contrariant here, but I feel his point (aside from the dig at you ig) is pretty valid. To me it doesn't necessarily read as excusing the situation, but rather giving a (possible) explanation for it. And I think he has a point. I think most AAA don't really QA test for Linux, though I think that that is starting to shift.

@gamingonlinux Makes me worried for the Trackmania 2020 Steam release tomorrow... I'm really hoping that it improves the ease of setup on Linux, not breaks it...

@gamingonlinux Are you effing kidding me?

I bought (for the second time) The Division 2 last week on Steam as I wanted to play it on my gaming PC, which I converted to Linux last year... I thought I'd support a company that was looking like they might improve their support for linux ... I already owned the game via Epic or maybe uplay... who knows...

All these launchers need to die in a fire.

I hope one day Valve reneges on their third party launcher agreement. Most games just use it as an advertising hub for DLC anyways. IMHO launchers are a tiny inconvinence at their best, and game breaking at their worst, they shouldn't exist.

:bd17: I remember as a kid, I had no clue how to play the game, so I was just running around Hyrule aimlessly. Years later I saw some YouTube walk through and had an epiphany. Will have to try it out eventually.

@gamingonlinux Wonder how long before it's combined with Super Metroid reverse engineered for a randomizer.

@gamingonlinux this screenshot kinda reminds me of old Chrome OS in a way. I should install this to my TianoCore-ified Chromebook

Did you know every single news category tag on the website also has an RSS feed? Now you do.

What is even the point in the Humble Games Collection (a part of Humble Choice), if they won't even keep their own published games in it? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’€

@gamingonlinux I usually find myself defending them when people say Humble isn't worth using anymore, but it has become rare indeed to see their old spirit shining through. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@gamingonlinux Unsurprising to see weirdness given that Humble has new owners... Or not so new, I forget exactly when they were acquired.

dhbirb

@gamingonlinux There's no point in it even existing. Almost no one used it. I have had Humble Choice since the start and have never even felt the urge to look at the collection.

Thrash Cardiom

@gamingonlinux I enjoyed the original and I'd like to give this a go but not at $57.00 NZ.

Zopher

@gamingonlinux At first I was interested, but then decided the price tag is too high for a nostalgia trip.
