Quoting: CatKillerIn case anyone else is also considering it for a younger audience, according to the discussion pages there is an option to disable the blood.

That's true, it's still violent though.

I never got far, didn't manage to build a vehicle that can stand some dozens of soldiers in like level 5, but it is a fun game.

Quoting: SimonKJones2. Scrivener, writing software that isn't available on Linux. That's basically the only thing keeping me on the platform.

Did you try it under WINE lately? Somebody reported (I think on this site, something geo-related?) that programs not related to games at all also profit from the WINE improvements.

QuoteI'm not even what you may call a "privacy nut".

Although this is a common turn of phrase. It's time we removed the association of conspiracy theorist with a human right to privacy.

I agree.

Quoting: LoftyIn the early day's people were far more trusting of technology and saw it as largely altruistic and a benefit to society (which with opensource it still can be) but invariably the usual shadowy forces do their thing and here we are.

[bolding by me]

... but this does sound... conspirational.

The name feels too near to that of a game I once heard of though...

Quoting: LinasSo I used 3.6 for a bit now, and I find it rather unstable. On multiple occasions I got stuck at black screen, mostly when trying to switch to desktop mode. Then this happened when launching Google Chrome:

Well, at least it's neither a back screen nor a bluescreen... ;)

Quoting: EikeIs that referring to Steam Deck?

Oops! Yes, it is! Sorry for not being clear enough there - I wrote that comment quickly whilst between rounds in Stumble Guys. Have edited my post to clarify!

... and I was wondering where all those settings might be hidden... :)

Quoting: PenglingJust a small thing that I encountered that might be worth pointing out: Post-update, I played Stardew Valley and noticed that the scrolling was really jerky even though the game was otherwise running fine. It seems that something got messed up regarding per-game power-saving settings, because even though I already had that game set to 60fps, I had to change that to something else and then change it back to fix the problem; Turning per-game settings off and on again didn't help, I specifically had to change the refresh-rate and change it back again. I presume that it would've affected anything, but that just happened to be what I played first.

Just making a note of the fix in case anyone else runs into it.

Is that referring to Steam Deck?

Quoting: GuestHow does one manage to make a distribution that doesn't support native Linux games? That sounds like royal kludge.

While personally, I'm refraining from Proton, I don't find it too unreasonable from a device makers point of view. It's easier to just handle all games the same.

Quoting: fritzyIt's too bad that they (reportedly) broke so many mods with the latest update to Fallout 4. I was thinking about revisiting it with some mods that toned down the base-management parts of the game. I stopped in the middle of my original play-through after I was told "Another settlement needs your help" one too many times.

Oops. Sounds like the reason I gave up on Mad Max. Is there really a Fallout with busywork?

Thanks for pointing out the tiny ones from time to time! I'll give that one a try for sure!
