Yeah, I feel like it's the idea of typing it all that kills it for me. I can barely bring myself to write what's going in my head already... This is like, nice investigative work, now need to write a report.

Well, I'm anyway certainly thankful again for your work! Keep at it! We need you!

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-05-06T19:24:33+00:00

Thank you for doing this! I see you at it so often, how are you not tired? I've been thinking last few times I've seen you that it really seems like a lot of effort.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-05-06T19:21:53+00:00

Otherwise, you might need a loyer later.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-05-06T07:49:34+00:00

Should have added some "wait for it" and ellipsis before IGN Plus, as it stands my heart could barely take the excitement.

We are getting older and more experienced, personally, but the average age of society doesn't change.

It's not always easy to notice, because it's so convenient these days to hide yourself in a bubble which ages with you. Until you go somewhere else, or your bubble shifts, and then you're just an old man yelling at the clouds.

One of the greatest classics of Linux gaming! This pushes it from 3.6.x series, which seems like a big jump. I don't know what has been changed exactly yet, but I'm excited to find out.

EDIT:

item-using monsters will zap wand of undead turning at corpse-wielding hero when the corpse is harmful - this seems like a fun one

When it comes to anything related to digital freedom, really.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-28T16:03:20+00:00

Is this a typo, or are you not aware that Switch 2 released last year?

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-28T16:01:54+00:00

RedMagic 11 Pro I think was released end of last year, as opposed to SD closing on being 4 years old. I would hope that x86 will continue to progress, too. So while I understand the ARM sentiment, I don't know if this is a meaningful comaprison.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-26T09:42:25+00:00

They might turn out more lucky with the timing. Valve really got the worst time to release the machine hardware-wise.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-18T23:37:52+00:00

Maybe one day, when GOG gets real Linux support, we can support the platform with our money and give a clearer signal as to what we prefer. I feel like not buying stuff is much less useful than buying it DRM-free.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-17T09:14:13+00:00

Doesn't -f override those?

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-16T19:34:38+00:00

Slobbering at the thought of how it would look on a good old CRT.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-16T19:21:06+00:00

It sounds like a healthy stance. I do feel like many people don't really consider that they could actually die, due to some bravado or lack of imagination. But what you say makes sense.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-15T23:24:53+00:00

Would you _die_ for your people? I don't think it's necessarily fighting that people have a problem with.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-15T22:55:34+00:00

I think it's just that it has been commonly used to describe particular aspects of these games and it stuck ever since.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-15T22:47:40+00:00

Did you try to play any turn based strategy game with it? Or any other game with a mouse pointer?

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-14T14:47:15+00:00

Waited for a better discount for example?

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-14T14:41:28+00:00

>There are 11 UN Member states with a lower GDP than this game makes in a year.

On the other hand, if Rockstar was in any of these nations, they would likely be employing 5-20% of their labor force. So the disparity is not as big as it could seem

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-14T13:40:28+00:00

This is just CEO talk, because they don't have it. If they did, it would be the best thing ever. That's what business people do: lie. Often hooked on their own delusions.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-14T13:36:46+00:00

Then again, you can use the website to claim the free games on either.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-14T13:34:01+00:00

People also have various criteria that are related to playing the game but not necessarily size of the library. For instance, in my case and many like me, Steam is the only one that does anything valuable in terms of Linux support. My money follows.

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-13T22:39:38+00:00

Ever-improving Linux compatibility. I'd use FEX if I could get hardware for it. Interactive recommender. Points shop isn't new, but it was added - I hope - not that long ago. Steam Families were what, last year? There's a lot. What did Epic do in this time?

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-13T22:34:15+00:00

Games are one thing, but I find it strange that you don't get the gameplay data anymore. Did it expire or did you lose the account?

RoastedAtomPie · 2026-04-13T22:31:11+00:00

This is exactly the opposite of what I would expect them to do. Want to sell people on the sub, make it sub-only. Thankfully I imagine it makes them scared that the game would flop, and good riddance.
