Quoting: EhvisCombined game view! Yes! Now I really need the Amazon Games Store added to it.

I think Ubi or Origin would make more sense as they cooperate with Epic already.

He probably suggested it because there's a working open-source client (nile) compatible with Amazon Games Store already, so Heroic just needs to add support for it.

Quoting: 1xokSorry, probably a stupid question:
Why do the videos from Soul Calubur VI work on the Steam Deck but not on my normal Linux/Steam PC?

For what it's worth, I just installed the game under Linux Mint XFCE and first-launching it with Proton Experimental it seems to work perfectly with videos. I did not try with any other proton version, as the Experimental one is currently set to default in my steam settings.

Quoting: syxbitThe Steam game page doesn't mention Linux support.
I'm always confused when Linux is listed. Does this mean a native port, or are they just saying it will work with Proton

Since it's Wadjet Eye, it's very likely to be native. I believe this game is still using AGS for the engine, and Dave (who basically is "Wadjet Eye Games") recently paid someone to *port all of their AGS library games to native linux builds.

*: AGS supports native linux to begin with, but custom plugins and such don't necessarily; which is why actual porting was a good idea!

Quoting: NanobangHmm. I don't have a Steam Deck (yet), so I wonder if the Jellyfin client might work on the SD, too?

If not, you could always use the Jellyfin add-on for Kodi so that you can use Kodi as the client for your Jellyfin server.

Quoting: NociferIf you've played the first Psychonauts, how is this story- and jazziness-wise compared to that unique gem of a game? Is it worth being called "Psychonauts"? I mean, seeing as you've 100%'ed it and are still excited about it speaks volumes, but I guess I'd still like a straight answer :)

Well, let me start by saying Psychonauts 2 is a wonderful game and a worthy successor to Psychonauts, it absolutely earned all the praise it's received.

That said, both games are obvious products of their times. The original game I felt had harder edges all around, as games from that time did -- the story, the gameplay, the way the worlds came together; The slight jankiness of that one is part of it's charm, and frankly you wouldn't even notice it being there until compared to modern games -- including Psychonauts 2.

Psychonauts 2 frankly does an excellent job of appealing to original Psychonauts fans while "fitting in" with the current times. It's far more polished all around, which is something to be proud of, but also the lack of that jankiness does give it a little bit of a different charm -- it's still what we all love, but the hard edges for better and worse aren't really there. They've also did their homework with mental illness/emotions/all-of-that so it's matured in a sense. I loved it, not as much as I loved the first one, but I loved it all the same. Highly recommended. I hope someday they decide to make a third (or fourth if you count Rhombus of Ruin).

My guess is it's simple word play against a support rep to get them to say / "confirm" something by way of a "clarification".

I used to work in support, including managing it, for a company a long time ago and there was absolutely douchenozzles that behaved that way. Then they will die on the sword that a companies official stance is determined by a low paid, overworked, support worker's poor wording or even own confusion.

Nice. I'll admit it never once occurring to me to use Kodi on the Deck, despite being a large Kodi fan and using it daily.

Fixing freedom of speech on Twitter? How so?

About the only things that come to mind are Trump and COVID misinformation type stuff being blocked/censored.

I love how this app has a game list showing which games are using what proton versions, it drives me nuts when I can't uninstall an old version of Proton because I explicitly set a particular version for a (mystery!) game in the past.

Exactly why I use Mint. There is absolutely no reason Linux has to be a chore for Desktop use, it's well-supported, it's been around long enough for me to know it'll continue being around for the foreseeable future, many of it's defaults match my preferences, and I generally like their stances on things like Snap while also making things like Nvidia drivers easy to install. Most of all, they're an excellent buffer between the user and Ubuntu; Sure, it makes some packages slower to roll out then Ubuntu, but also GOOD -- Mint tends to polish Ubuntu's occasional turds.
