Do I get a discount if I buy 72 Horipads? I fear trouble in paradise otherwise.

Pause the trailer at exactly 0:36, zoom in on the bottom level, and you can just about make out Woodward and Bernstein waiting for Deep Throat!

Quoting: FjolserikI have just installed Forza Horizon 5 on Ubuntu 24.04 and when I start the game this msg comes up:

Z:/home/jano/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ForzaHorizon5

Installation path is too long. Please move your Forza Horizon 5 installation to a shorter path.

I have no idea how to do that since I'm a newbi to Linux. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
It's a stupid limitation in the game itself, not a problem with Proton:

"Forza Horizon 5 needs to be installed at a Steam library location that is 59 characters or shorter."

A duck detective? That's just silly...

Frog? Sure! Alligator? Of course! Giraffe? Most definitely!

But a duck? Sheer nonsense!

EA SPORTS WRC is adding EA anticheat, breaking another game on Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: iorekbyrnisonI'd like to make a note here:

Dirt Rally 1 and Dirt Rally 2.0 both are better games, with better physics and content, and are both available for a few bucks on any good key retailer- and both run gloriously on both desktop linux and the deck.

the first game, unlike the second, is also free of always-online nonsense, so it's my preferred version.

as always, these games from awful publishers with bad practices are rarely best in class anyways, so nothing of value was lost
Or possibly going back even further.

Richard Burns Rally (twenty years old now) have ongoing fan made online events and lots of new stages (there's even a stage editor based on Blender!) thanks to modders.
