If there's anybody into point and click that hasn't yet played Lucy Dreaming...

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThis seems cute, but I kind of wish things like this got a little more original. Like, the people are frogs, supposedly. OK, but they're living exactly like humans--it's just a reskin of a generic human-village-maker. They're making hard flagstoned paths to walk on, the houses they make to live in are human style because of course frogs would want to live somewhere dry, they appear to be doing agriculture because of course frogs would eat vegetables not bugs, they're doing their fishing from a dock . . .

It would be cooler if instead of making farms, they were making swamps, and if their homes were built part-underwater, and stuff. If there was some effort to think what the lifestyle of humanoid frogs might be like.

Great, now you spoiled it to me!

;)

Fortnite on Linux / Steam Deck? Not until 'tens of millions of users'

Quoting: fizdogI would love to switch to a linux distro geared towards gaming but things like this is holding me back. as little as i play fortnite, when i do its with my son and yeah. i'm already seeing people saying they want to switch to linux for what microcrap is doing with windows(whether the do or no is another question).

I'd recommend dual boot in this situation. Had that for many years, until I discovered I had used Windows only two times(*) in a full year in the end - and got rid of it.

Linux remains above 2% on the Steam Survey for June 2024

Quoting: fabertawe
Quoting: KorhakaI had the hardware survey just now. I have 1 SSD and 3 HDDs and it marked them all as SSDs. Other than that it got everything correct. Seems odd that there is no way to flag that it detected something incorrectly.

Got the survey yesterday for the first time in many, many years and it registered my HDD as an SSD as well, along with my four SSD/M2s.

I heard this part is known broken for quite some time. I just ignore it.
(Got the survey at least half a dozen times already over the decade.)
