Aww, that’s disappointing. Linux users with a DS or who use emulators should look into Orcs & Elves in the meantime. It’s another fantasy-flavored FPS from ID and it’s pretty good.

VagueAnodyneComments,

Orcs & Elves dude, sick, i never heard of this one 👍

Was this before or after this: lemmy.world/post/29593011

Because I’m curious why Valve would have gone to so much trouble to make the game run on Linux just to ruin that.

Well the game runs well if you just launch it with only one Proton configuration and keep playing on that. The issue is changing the Proton version is recognized as multiple installations by the DRM and it locks you out after a couple of tries.

atrielienz,

This is what I didn’t understand. Thank you for explaining.

It’d be worse if the crypto bros got their way and all that shit was stored on a blockchain where it’s 1000x harder to undo

PushButton,

In the case of GGG, it’s the same picture… They do Jack shit in those circumstances…

Bug, exploit, hack, dup… Fuck all buddy. PoE is a game of chance, a slot machine in disguise…

So… Better luck next time I guess.

I appreciate that many older games are still available on Steam either "maintained" as in the article or "remastered". Someday soon I will buy Total Annihilation...again...on Steam this time.

But I do not understand why games are seen as disposable, temporary media. Sure the latest titles are flashy but there are plenty of fucking awesome older games that are still fun to play. And as physical media disappears it becomes much more important for the gaming industry to stop pulling the ladder up behind themselves. History matters. Old <> bad.

There should be an equivalent to the classic rock stations for video games. I greatly appreciate the efforts of the MAME, archive.org and Mr. Lee to keep the classics alive.

@harcesz Wcale bym się nie zdziwił gdyby ten "tank man" jako selfiak to była zorganizowana akcja chińskiej propagandy. W swojej sieci wygumkowali to zdjęcie i wszystkie wzmianki na ten temat, natomiast tam gdzie ich władza nie sięga najprościej nakarmić wyszukiwarki wynikami fałszywymi choć wyglądającymi przekonująco.

Yep, this is an old problem with Denuvo, new proton version looks like a new system. I guess if the containerization is perfect, Denuvo won’t be able to solve this and retain the same functionality.

Read the article?

memfree, do gaming w A Small Steam Game Shows How LLMs Could Kill the Dialogue Tree (re: Verbal Verdict demo)

NOTE: I just downloaded the game and on my first attempted launch, it complained that the port it wanted was not open. My only option was to close the game. I ran netstat and did not see the port listed, so I tried again. THAT time, it complained about my older video card :-/ The warning is clunky and there’s a typo, too (within -> withing). It says (if I transcribed accurately):

You are using an: NVIDIA GEOFORCE GTX 1080. This video card is currently not recognized withing the recommended specs. We only support a limited amount of NVIDIA GTX graphics cards, all NVIDIA RTX graphics cards or all AMD RX graphics cards since the local AI requires a lot of performance.

So please note that the game might not work properly. Refer to the Steam guide for more information.

When I closed that warning, the game loaded.

Nice paywall

conciselyverbose,

It’s not a paywall.

But account walls are still gross.

fushuan,

That would be paying with your personal information, so it’s still a paywall.

I mean, they did? I wonder how the AI voice things will fare if this goes poorly for roblox

theangriestbird,

well it isn’t so much about copyright as it is about protecting kids. Is there an AI voice thing related to child predators that I am not aware about?

My inability to afford a GPU with raytracing is locking me out of the game.
