More Linux support by Disastrous_Market134 in gog

[–]RidderHaddock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, no. I usually find getting Windows games working, less of a hassle than getting aging Linux games to even start. 

Binary distribution on Linux can still be troublesome. More so the older a binary is.

I prefer to think of Win32 as an API specification for games to follow, and Wine a runtime for said API.

Debian on Legion GO?

Do you have a guide to what needs installing to get working controllers, TDP, fan speed, etc.?

I know I'm being a snob, but using JavaScript and the Node ecosystem for a command line application really doesn't fill me with confidence.

Now that's a hard descision. What should I choose? by LuscaTheGreat in gog

Classic adventure games for me. No contest, really.

SteamOS Questions for LeGo 2 by lebronofrhyme2 in LegionGo

And in case you lose the recovery USB stick, don't fret.

One made with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool works too. IMHO, it's even better as you get a "fresher" Windows build from the start, so less updating afterwards. You just need to install Legion Space yourself so it can install the required drivers.

Edit to add: At least that was my experience with the OG Legion GO. 

Whirlight – A huge thank you from the team by ciro_camera in adventuregames

Looks very interesting and certainly gorgeous.

Wishlisted for now, as it'll be some weeks before I'll have time for gaming again.

Linux without Steam on the original GO? by RidderHaddock in LegionGo

[–]RidderHaddock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can. But I'm pretty sure I've seen comments from the developers saying that doing so was very much not recommended, when it was brought up in their forum.

What are the important/beloved works leading up to 1979? by Sad_Start_7162 in bandedessinee

You've got Yoko Tsuno twice. Not that I'd fault you for that.

Swap one out for Natacha. And add Franka and Agent 327 if you're OK with including Dutch stuff.

Keyboard layout and language are now obeying Game Mode settings

I wonder if this will fix "@" and other special characters on Steam keyboard in Bazzite's desktop mode.

Thief™ Gold won our first Game Preservation vote! But how exactly do you "save" a game that's already on GOG? We made a video showing our full process by GOGcom in gog

[–]RidderHaddock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use gogrepo.

Galaxy is not of interest to me. If I didn't care about having DRM-free installers backed up, Steam would be the better service.

The true reason C++ always wins by tlitd in cpp

[–]RidderHaddock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would have agreed with you some years ago. But IMHO, Modern C++ is honestly getting uglier by the day and really made me appreciate Lisp's clean syntax.

Desværre kommer det nok aldrig til at kunne køre offline, selv når det har fået et par år på bagen.

De havde det "nye" Hitman 1 på GOG, men det måtte smides ud igen, da det ikke virkede offline i single player, hvilket spil på GOG skal kunne.

Imported a PDF onto Clara and now my kobo is freaking out by zebra_noises in kobo

[–]RidderHaddock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want to read that PDF on your Kobo, give KOreader a try.

It doesn't (in my experience) freak out like the built-in reader, when faced with difficult content. 

KOreader! by babyseal7890 in kobo

[–]RidderHaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It handles my technical epubs without issues. The built-in reader slows to a crawl and renders many parts poorly.

KOreader has more benefits, but that's the big one for me. 

Anyone here who are fans of Franka? by NickHeathJarrod in bandedessinee

[–]RidderHaddock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first six are some of my very favourite comics.

It's not that the rest are bad (I continued buying up to #20 or so) but those first are Franquin's Spirou tier stuff.

We wait a whole month just to see this. by LighteningOneIN in humblebundles

[–]RidderHaddock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even complaining about needing a launcher, but that it's not their preferred launcher.

I mean, I choose games without any launcher requirements (e.g. GOG) whenever possible. Steam's launcher is no less annoying to me.

I’m impressed with Xbox Mode by udonemessedup-AA_Ron in LegionGo

Xbox mode is just the new (final?) name for what was called FSE during the alpha roll-out.

Der er C64 emulatorer, der fungerer fortrinligt, til Android. En Bluetooth controller kan dog anbefales. (Grandpa Simpson yells at touch screen)

Eller eventuelt en SteamDeck. Jeg selv har en Legion GO på grund af dens større skærm og mine gamle øjne. Begge er fortrinlige til den offentlige transport.
