I don’t really care about #TheGameAwards, but allowing a DLC that has gated progression from a huge base game, to go up against full standalone games is ridiculous.

Should have been it’s own category.

Reddit never fails:

"Gamingonlinux and other linux specific curators are pointless now with protondb and proton itself, cannot find any reason to follow them at all"

Twitter is truly dead, X is a far-right political playground full of blue tick bots.

@ThePlant It's understandable that many people have left X, but that can create an echo chamber, no matter the viewpoint. For social platforms to truly reflect a range of perspectives, everyone needs to engage. Healthy dialogue happens when we stick around and listen to each other - a balanced conversation needs all sides.

Openvibe sounds cool letting you post across Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads.

I'm now getting emails like this from Trump supporters to @gamingonlinux 🤦‍♂️

Liam

On that note, @gamingonlinux is no longer being posted on Twitter.

I will not be part of enabling Elon any longer.

Linux users whenever something remotely bad happens:

- "I BET MSFT PAID THEM!"
- "They clearly HATE Linux users!"

And repeat. Like clockwork lol.

@ThePlant Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
*Puts on Tinfoil Hat* I bet all these recent multiplayer games no longer supporting Linux is somehow linked to M$ 🤔

Dark Photon Studio

@ThePlant Some of us remember the SCO lawsuits. Among other MS fuckery.

@ThePlant I never believed that as a conspiracy theory until Microsoft hired Lennart Poettering.

Sometimes Reddit is kind, my anti-cheat post has 6.5K upvotes on /r/steamdeck and i didn't submit it either, winner.

@ThePlant your post is on hackernews' front page since yesterday.

Every time I use Windows I am reminded just how good Linux is now.

Trying to do some CoD with the kiddo, 3 games in and it hard locked the entire system. Forced to hit the reset button.

Then Windows failed to load 3 times, then gave me a blue screen telling me Windows failed to start. Tried restarting again, Windows still fails to load and reboots itself.

Windows 11 is a clown-show.

Dr. Quadragon ❌

@ThePlant Every time I have to go back to Windows, I can't help but ask how do people still use this piece of shit.

Any modern *nix is more polished and user-friendly nowadays than Windows. Windows is openly user-hostile.

Today, I spent 3 hours and ended up with about 5 lines of code.

The code works, success. Took forever to get there.

Fluchtkapsel (Abonnement)

@ThePlant I had this feeling several times. I know now first-hand that the number of lines of code don't count as much as the thoughts that went in there.

Liam

All I wanted was to add a link inside the tag system we have on @gamingonlinux for games on articles, so we can quickly go and edit if needed after tagging.

3 hours to figure it out lmao, but yay done.

Liam

I *hate* extra launchers on Steam.

Ubisoft sent me Assassin's Creed Mirage via Steam Curator, but I can't actually launch it as it needs an Activation Key which they don't seem to have supplied <_<

Liam

WHY is this still a thing in 2024. Just verify ownership via Steam.

Steam Deck Reddit:

Meme posts and random "i got a deck!" photos: 90000 upvotes

A post I took a while to make individually going over titles: reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comment ..... it's at 0

In all my years doing social media, I've *never* seen something happen so fast like the rate of sign ups and followers on Bluesky. It's ridiculous.

My starter packs are doing amazingly well for getting people following me, other people and actually signing up.

Liam

The Starter Pack system on Bluesky is simply magic stuff: bsky.app/starter-pack/gamingon

Mastodon needs stuff like this.

Liam

Reset the counter.

It has been 0 days since someone on @gamingonlinux questioned something I covered because:

- It's not Native Linux.
- It's not open source.

Lol.

V'ger

@ThePlant @gamingonlinux They've obviously mistaken you with that other site, NativeGamingOnFreeLibreOpenSourceSoftware.com

It’s a huge shame with all this Chrome adblock stuff that masses are recommending Brave. Stop it you fools, if Brave get bigger they will be infinitely worse than Google.

@ThePlant This article lol still using brave, ladybird is not ready anyway

Alexf24

@ThePlant Did not know. Will switch to Firefox in my laptop which currently uses Brave.

@ThePlant

- Brave isn't worst than Google.

- Any company can end up being evil, even Mozilla.

- If non-geeks don't like Firefox, I recommend Brave or Vivaldi. They're better than Chrome and Edge in terms of privacy, in the current versions.

- We don't know about future versions, so we play the game we have when recommending a tool.

- Browsers must also be judged by versions. It's not because Firefox was slow in the past that it's slow now.

- It's not because Brave put a tracker in some URLs in the past that it still does so in the current version.

- Browsers evolve quickly. Judging any of them based on versions from 5 years ago is crazy.

- Most people won't install Brave to get ads. Most people won't enable Brave BAT tokens because it's too complicated and has a lot of friction for ordinary users.

- People demand more privacy, security and fast loading. Current Brave versions deliver that. Better than Firefox that relies on additional plugins.

It's so easy to spot spammer attempts on @gamingonlinux

1) All new accounts are moderated and posts get approved / denied
2) 50% of the time it's a random "Thank so much for the info" for their first post on some random forum topic
3) An email address with a bunch of numbers on the end because of course
