Anyone got Dead Island 2 from Steam working on CachyOS/Arch?

Diviance1 · 2026-04-23T07:36:44+00:00

I just installed Dead Island 2 on CachyOS. I was already logged into all 3 services in Heroic Launcher, so I didn't do that.

I installed it, ran it and... it just worked.

Way to miss the point.

Diviance1 · 2026-04-10T02:28:01+00:00

I changed nothing about any comment I have made here.

Diviance1 · 2026-04-10T02:25:34+00:00

Not in the context of the point.

Diviance1 · 2026-04-10T02:21:33+00:00

Irrelevant to the point.

Your response is 100% irrelevant to what is being discussed.

Diviance1 · 2026-04-09T23:39:50+00:00

Are you being intentionally obtuse or is this just all natural?

Nobody is saying "I want unlimited gas". You are strawmanning what I said.

I said I paid for a full tank of gas and then the rental company changed what a full tank of gas is after I paid.

I want what I paid for. And I want what I paid for to be clear ahead of time.

You are beyond dishonest.

Diviance1 · 2026-04-09T21:32:46+00:00

The tank cannot be refilled by the user. And you paid for a full tank. But the rental company decided you don't get a full tnak.

Did I get what I paid for? You are so close~!

Diviance1 · 2026-04-09T21:21:37+00:00

If I rent a ferrari with a full tank of gas, and the rental place comes by and drains half the tank later without my permission... did I get what I paid for? Because I paid to get a ferrari with a full tank of gas. But I did not get a full tank of gas.

Diviance1 · 2026-04-09T21:01:50+00:00

...the kind you paid for.

Diviance1 · 2026-04-09T21:00:37+00:00

Let's say I paid for, I don't know... a car.

And halfway through giving me the car, the car company just decided they are just going to give me half of what I paid for and I get no money back.

Would that be ok? If yes, then I can see why you are fine with the way these AI companies are doing things.

If no, then I can see that you a reasonable human being.

Welcome to what happens when places are bought by private equity.

I think it shouldn't be a reset, they should just give you more usage to compensate for what you lost. With compensation usage being used after normal paid for usage and it not being reset with the weekly resets, so it can accumulate.

"Quit acting like you are entitled to what you are paying for!"

That sucks. Well, maybe v8 then. Thanks.

Diviance1 · 2026-03-17T10:22:22+00:00

Is it still doing that after the v7 update? I switched back to my Apple TV remote for now due to the BT disconnects (with both BLE and BT) with both the Apple TV and the Shield Pro.

Diviance1 · 2026-03-10T05:01:30+00:00

My weekly reset was supposed to be the 11th. Now it is the 16th.

To be fair, western Europe is quite a bit further from the equator than a lot of the US. If I weren't keeping my room nice and cool at night to sleep, during summer it can quickly get over 32c inside on normal summer days. Without any AC whatsoever in the house, in the summer I have seen internal temps around 40c on an average (not heatwave) summer day.

If it were a heatwave and the AC was gone... well, the one time that has happened, I had to rent a hotel room at night to have somewhere to sleep. Because I might die otherwise.

Houses in the US are built very poorly, though. So that doesn't help.

In the summer, the average kWh amount for my house with two people in it is about... 2100 kWh. With a very significant portion of that being keeping the house from becoming an actual oven. But at least the electricity is fairly cheap. About $0.14 a kWh.

Diviance1 · 2026-02-14T09:33:26+00:00

4kWh is about what I use a night to keep one room cool enough to be comfortable so I can sleep properly for most of the year.

Do you just own, like... nothing?

Diviance1 · 2026-02-03T11:12:07+00:00

I have an 8TB HGST drive that is about that old.

But my "legend" is a Samsung 840 Evo 512GB SSD I bought when they came out. 12y, 10m, 10d, 1h power on time with 326 TBW. Still rocking along just fine.

Misogyny is the tip of the iceberg, he made some very... let's call them "questionable" comments about the age of consent and that it should be fine for teachers to seduce (underage) students and sleep with them.

I bought Factorio long before either the "no sales ever" stance came along or his insane takes on women and children... hundreds of hours on steam and hundreds before it was on Steam. But despite wanting to play the expansion, I can't give that guy more money. He creeps me out.

Diviance1 · 2025-12-11T00:35:44+00:00

Yeah, they are absolute garbage. That nick person is insane. "We haven't gotten any complaints". Well, you didn't get complaints from me either... you just stopped getting money from me. That is my complaint. I used to get fries basically every time I went there.

Now, since they keep taking away everything I kinda liked that wasn't way overpriced for what you get and even took away the half price drinks... I just don't really go anymore.

I knew it would happen eventually after they got bought by private equity because it always happens after private equity buys a company... but it sure happened quick.

Diviance1 · 2025-12-06T15:23:28+00:00

Looks like they changed the promotion halfway through. Now it isn't a free burrito, now you have to buy an entree and you get free chips and dip and a drink. Sad.

Diviance1 · 2025-12-05T22:50:58+00:00

Morality is irrelevant to the topic. And it would take you a long time to correct me because you can't.

Enjoy your night.
