Reminds me of Kid Kool where you use owl-ish looking bird as a throwing weapon.

Some Doom wads as always, including Freedoom Phase 1 and my own wads.

Sadly these modern engines don't have good old BSP/brushes/sectors/patches/other options to create solid geometry it editor, so you need to create separate 3D models in Blender or import existing ones even for simple geometry.

Quoting: x_wing... native ports ... Feral ...
Are Feral ports really much more native than playing using Proton?

Quoting: GuestI have a question about Steam Play... Contrary to most native games that ask the system to suspend compositing to improve performance (kwin supports this), I have to do it manually with WINE/Steam Play/Proton apps. I guess they will eventually implement this feature, but does any of you have a workaround ? I find it a bit annoying to have to set a rule for each game or to have to disable compositing by hand.

(as you know, kwin doesn't disable compositing for all fullscreen apps but for apps that request it)
I assigned compositing toggle to hotkey as a workaround.
