What’s wrong with birch trees?

They will forever remind me of Shattered Galaxy and how there has never been anything else like it.

My wife and I yelled at the same time when that ad played. Insanely dystopian.

It’s always amusing when the most hysterical person in the room tells you you’re overacting.

The Wikipedia page has a brief description of the unpaid labor scandal. I also remember there being some sexual abuse allegations.

Honestly, if anything, is overrated. It had a very promising beta that was ruined by further development. And then was further tarnished by the facts of its abusive development coming to light.

I’m not saying that no one should enjoy it. If you like it, that’s great. But it very much didn’t live up to its potential.

I switched to Linux last year. Seeing this 100% makes me happy.

I hope it is available as soon as it’s announced, too. If it is announced, even.

Not naming it Furball Space Agency feels like a missed opportunity.

In the future, you just need to make sure the game is running on Proton. You might need to change the Proton version.

Just clicking those drop-down options will be the majority of “troubleshooting” you’ll have to do to get games working.

Unfortunately, CEOs are really only good for one thing. Saying nothing by spouting a bunch of corporate jargon.

I only got Steam when HL2 released because I had no need for it before then. I don’t remember having any real negative feelings about it.

Bazzite already fills this niche. It just doesn’t have the Steam name on it.

I love just driving around doing nothing in Cyberpunk 2077.

It’s always sad to me that the dumber, easier knockoff game got popular.

I get it. 2048 isn’t challenging and gives that low effort dopamine.

I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.

Graphical video games predate ASCII.

Instead you’ll spend your time littering your own computer with bloatware!

Bazzite is Fedora and you can get it in KDE Plasma or Gnome flavors.

You can use Fusion 360 in Linux with Wine. But instead of even trying that, I used my switch to Linux as the catalyst to switch to FreeCAD. Using FOSS just feels so much nicer.

I fully expect within 10 years individuals will be able to use AI to build decent to good quality games in relatively little time.

You vastly overestimate the ability of AI, vastly underestimate the complexity of making games, of both.

I’m already sold, you don’t have to keep trying to sell me on it.

I most often hear it pronounced you-bun-too.

But it is oo-boon-too.

I adored the details they gave the characters in that game. I accidentally

It also had such nice and natural-feeling LGBTQ characters.

You should never feel bad for turning difficulty down.

I have heard them called “knowledge-based games”. While not catchy, I think it’s accurate.

I emailed Lifeformed back in 2020 to ask permission to use their music in a video and they were so nice.

The Dustforce soundtrack is so good, and the Tunic soundtrack does such an amazing job at elevating the game.

Steam OS is not, and will not be a good desktop OS. At least in the foreseeable future. If you want that kind of experience now, install Bazzite.

Try Bazzite. Easy, beginner friendly, but very God hardware support and up to date.

And then to stick it to the man further you’re running Linux of course, right?

Guess I’m just never playing it, then.

So many thousands of amazing games I can play instead.

I just skimmed your post and it didn’t sound familiar. I’m out of the house right now, but I checked Steam on my phone, and I’ve definitely played it.

I own both Shadowgrounds and Caster.

Caster is a short, janky, lovable mess. It has real “this is my passion project and first ever video game” vibes.

Shadowgrounds was forgettable, but I vaguely remember enjoying it.

Denuvo is the only reason I’m waiting. I’m on Linux, and I’m not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.

And in this one, if you move the stick back and forth wrong, you can spin out.

It’s pretty janky, but you can get used to it.

I love NMS, and I think it’s a better game than Starfield overall. But they’re extremely different.

All of your criticisms are spot on. The only thing is disagree with is the story. I thought it was alright. Some of the side quests were great, but there weren’t a lot of those.

I really enjoyed the ship building, but it was extremely limited and unbalanced.

I will say the loading screens didn’t bother me, though.

Point is don’t buy Nvidia.

There are other options at that price point that aren’t Nvidia.

There aren’t other comparable options to say the 5090, which no one needs.

That was my point. I was speaking generally, not about the 5060.
