Quoting: junibegoodI guess this is a good time to make you all discover the jewel of French video game development : Travaux Public Simulator 2011 (or Chantiers Voirie Simulator, the game isn't even consistent about its own name ). It would translate in English as "Road Building Simulateur", I suppose.

It's so good that it was probably never sold anywhere else in the world. It's like wine or cheese, you know, we keep the best of the best to ourselves. That's why it's not in this bundle, obviously.

This could be the "Plan 9 from Outerspace" of video games.

And the best part : because of the commercial success and critical acclaim, they made a whole series of these games, each about a different kind of job.

Wow. That was difficult to watch. Looked like a complete train wreck of a game.

Slightly off topic, but I've had a ton of issues with CS2 with it going from 4-6GB of RAM usage and 100 fps after a couple rounds of death match or arms race all the way up to 20ish GB with its performance tanking to single digits fps. Lowering texture quality delays that memory creep a bit, but it does eventually happen. Playing on the map, Shoots, makes that RAM usage spike super quickly and it doesn't recover till I close out of the game and re-open it.

There's a github issue here dating back to February, but no updates. Anyone else experiencing this?

Honestly just want to play the Switch games I legit purchased on my Steam Deck and desktop computer. I paid for all of the hardware and games and don't think Nintendo should have any right to say where I can and can't play them just because they have billions of dollars more than me. I'm sure it's not going to hurt them one bit, but I am done giving them business.

I'm having pretty serious performance issues after the update. Also have a mesa update that just installed, so I'm not certain of the culprit. Getting about 15 fps during heavy fighting. Anyone else seeing issues on Radeon?

EDIT: Looks like performance drop is only on the map, Shoots.

Quoting: JosiahI still can not get it to work properly for me. I post on the GitHub page. Battle.net will not install it just hangs. Looks like a great tool, just needs a bit more work.

Had the same issue. I removed Battle.net from the list and it stalled on GOG Galaxy. Gave up after about five attempts.

Quoting: HohlraumI love what Fedora does but once I started using other package systems 25+ years ago it's really hard to give up the massive package repositories provided by deb and arch based distributions. Finally, they've tried for years to improve the speed of their package managers but they are terrible every time I give them a try.

Same. My first Linux experience was Red Hat then Fedora once the first version of that released. Didn't realize how slow rpm packages were until I switched to Debian and Arch based distros. Maybe I'll give it another go now that Flatpaks are so common and don't have to rely on rpms so much.

Playing Slay the Spire I kept thinking how awesome it would be to play this in the physical world. Now after watching this explainer video I think I'd regularly forget to keep track of most of these mechanics.

Took me a few minutes to realize I needed to add Pinball FX3 (which is free) to my library prior to adding the keys for any of the pinball bundles. Sheesh.

Also, Pinball FX3 is rated silver on ProtonDB but that seems to be heavily weighted by entries that are two years old. All recent reviews and from my few minutes of play make it seem like it should be platinum.

I've got a Dell docking station for my home work setup and it works really well, but doesn't look as good as that or keep the Deck upright. Also cost my employer almost $200USD.
