Yeah, I don’t really buy most of my games through Steam. Mainly just GOG since I like to own my games. Still, I will buy from time to time games on Steam, like with the Portal/Half-Life sale like half a year ago or whatever, to support Valve, which is a good company and I respect them a lot.
Meh. There are so many instances that I don’t really judge someone by what instance they’re on; I judge someone based on what they do.
Pshh, hardly.
Make no mistake: things can always get worse.
They cancel each other out, collapse into a black hole, and rip apart the Universe. /j
I’ve been using Linux Mint for the last 1–2 months (or so) and one of the things I miss the most is how on Windows, games just run (typically). Now, on Linux, one of the very first things I do upon wanting to play a new game is check the ProtonDb page. I am not always able to play the game I want. There’s often not even any ProtonDb page for a lot of older games, notably in my case Jazz Jackrabbit. (For example, even though the Jazz Jackrabbit Collection on GOG has a Linux installer, for some reason it won’t run.)
Make no mistake, I ain’t never going back to Windows for my personal use if I have anything to say about it. The sense of personal security I feel from not having my every move be captured, scrutinized, and sold by Microsoft is way too important to me. If I can have that feeling of relative comfort by forgoing a few games, it seems like a worthwhile price to me.
Nevertheless, the “plug-and-play” nature of games designed for Windows is something I miss.
First, I appreciate you taking the time to provide your thoughts on this even though the post is 2 years old. :)
Second, no worries. I’ve found an option. I just use MakeMKV. I even bought a paid license! It’s that good! ;)
Good point!
I appreciate you explaining this to me. :)
A decent explanation. Thank you. :)
Fair. :)
I heard Tuta is a honeypot. Is this not the case?
Not OP, but dear gods thank you. With how scary the US is becoming, I genuinely needed that laugh.
Fucking thank you!
This is true, though I figured I’d mention it. ^^
When he told her that, she began crying, and appologizing. She didn’t remember saying that, but he never stopped thinking about it for 30+ years.
The axe forgets; the tree remembers.
I definitely have backups. And this explains it very well. Thank you. :)
Soooo what you’re saying is that that hi-lo driver no longer has a job, right?
Speaking as someone who doesn’t encrypt their desktop but is thinking about it:
you can’t share (readable) data over one’s home network if the sending PC is disk-encrypted?
For example, are you saying that if I send a video file from my PC, which is disk-encrypted, over LAN to my NAS, then the NAS would not be able to read said file?

Not a bad set of promising suggestions… Thanks!
And yeah, I’ve found Proton to be invaluable for making things soooo much easier, but if a game doesn’t have a page, it’s not as easy. Lol.
