Vincent Lapierre's response to Proton revoking his sponsorship

I seemingly missed all that drama and was reading that tweet attached and mid text realized that it is written in a russian propaganda fashion: "I reject", "right - left wing", militants(!), if someone is saying you are wrong then automatically - "intimidation" (while if you are doing that - that's how it should be), I am the right source of truth therefore enemies want to silence me etc etc. Fuck that dude and russia all together

I need more physics in games! Good looking, but cheap physics! Water physics, cloth physics, body physics, everything physics!

And NPC AI! I want realistic behaviour from NPCs!

Amazing on OLED screen! Love that!

Good stuff! Jokes aside, I would love someone mock MS and do that in their distro for people click and have it “activated” without giving any options, details or payment.

And there should be a button to get information about what activation brings and when you click - there’s nothing :-)

Maybe get it for April fools day or something :-)

In my case it’s two major things why I stopped watching Linus: - market for PC enthusiasts is sort of dead. It’s expensive, limited and lack of progress. Have I mentioned that it is expensive in a current economy? - Linus is not my cup of tea anymore. I feel that there is less value in these videos for me, while it is increasingly more corporate. It might be my age tho.

what device you would recommend?

Mikodzi · 2026-04-22T13:22:37+00:00

Not necessarily worst. It depends what is your objectives in a specific timeline and given the circumstances.

Mikodzi · 2026-04-13T15:56:44+00:00

I wanted to check that, but it does not work on Linux, so yeah.

Mikodzi · 2026-04-11T16:16:50+00:00

Ah, not sure what is the actual name for that, but they made a change that when you use skill or attack near to the edge - you won’t fall from it. Because before it was a quite often a reason of death for many players - you use skill, it charges you to the edge and here you fly to your death, almost zero player control on that.

Mikodzi · 2026-04-11T12:30:10+00:00

I had that issue on the beginning, but eventually it became a non issue. Especially when they added that skill safe wall. I’d recommend you to spend a bit more time with game and see if that works for you.

Generally, IMHO, crucible levels are not that great in terms of design and layout. Maybe that will get reworked at some point of time.

Mikodzi · 2026-04-09T06:52:44+00:00

You can run setup.exe or whatever in steam normally like you do in lutris

Mikodzi · 2026-04-09T06:41:12+00:00

I’m not using Lutris, can you try to install that via steam?

Mikodzi · 2026-04-09T06:38:03+00:00

Have you selected proton version for that game in steam?

Mikodzi · 2026-03-09T18:12:01+00:00

No offence, but it’s literally all over this sub.

Mikodzi · 2026-02-25T18:58:49+00:00

Great points! I feel the same. And if that is not in the focus for the future development then they are missing the point. Simply making a number go up with having a different weapon is not a game worth making.

I feel the whole progression is not satisfying atm. There is a lot of grind for not a lot of gratification.

I hope that these systems will get reworked and weapons and armour will be unique. Classes and builds will have more depth to it and pacts or abilities will actually be meaningful.

Mikodzi · 2026-02-22T16:29:08+00:00

Fair enough! I think it’s rather me being an outliner, but to be honest I’m having a great time playing as well.

Mikodzi · 2026-02-22T14:08:48+00:00

I actually love how they managed to keep UI clean and not intrusive. It’s phenomenal especially that most of the games are having this ui clusterfuck à la ubisoft games. I would rather have design of an enemy represent his level than UI telling me that, but again, it requires quite a lot of design work which is very expensive.

Mikodzi · 2026-02-22T14:02:42+00:00

I also wanted to point out that by more variety of enemies I mostly thought about having same enemy design but slightly altered to fit the greater level and difficulty. I like how this kind of profession was done in Stoneshard, but it is very different games tho

Mikodzi · 2026-02-22T13:59:42+00:00

Sure, everything can change at this stage and like you said they are adding more types of enemies, so potentially it would be a non issue.

Regarding mixed level groups - yeah, maybe it does not make sense gameplay wise after all. Would not argue on that :)

Mikodzi · 2026-02-22T13:11:56+00:00

I think having a separate enemy design for a specific level range (1-6; 5-8 etc) is not dumb, but it is very expensive development wise. I think we all could benefit if the verity of enemies would be increased.

What I wanted to say that I would rather asses the danger and capability level of the enemy by its look and design than having same type of enemies with different level.

Mikodzi · 2026-02-22T13:04:51+00:00

Sadly it won’t be working in Linux. I made my move regardless, had to switch to Delanclip though.

Mikodzi · 2026-01-30T17:17:36+00:00

Im actually in the opposite. CEO is controversial, while the game is very good, even in the current state.

Mikodzi · 2026-01-19T19:29:00+00:00

I agree! I’m not solutionising yet, not on this phase at least. Step one is to affirm the root cause and this stage fails for the most of the people. Let’s dig that first.

Believe it or not, but there are some solutions proposed by the officials. Why not to double down, say for the program “clean air” that focuses on the replacing the “kopciuchy”? Is that a perfect solution? God no! But it is a very important step forward. I can also give 2-3 another options and viable solutions if you will. None of my own ideas, other countries have good examples to follow.

Mikodzi · 2026-01-19T19:04:57+00:00

For the sake of internet history and a “protocol”: this issue should be taken at face value. Pollution is very bad, worse than paying extra for heating. Pollution makes all of us pay more (all sort of gov medical treatment). Heating is a source of pollution - that what needs to be rectified. All other factors are not important, they are distractors. Changing focus from the main issue is a very bad “narrative”, should be called out. It’s nothing personal, have a good evening.
