It’s important we do it that way for our 🌟brand identity🌟.

In his defense, it isn’t really a fishing game without bait.

Finally, representation for gay people who are into irony.

Looking at this guys other posts it could just be some bizarre attempt at absurdism?

How would this work? As I understand it, GE is used in things like Heroic or Lutris where you typically just point it to the exe directly (unless you own Skyrim on gog, I guess?). In that case, wouldn’t it be easy enough to point to the modloader exe rather than the main game exe?

Even if it could happen through steam (can GE be added to Steam?), wouldn’t Steam’s mandatory automatic update thing cause issues meaning you’d just launch it through your mod loader anyway.

If only steam had a way to mark games as “hey, this game is in beta, expect issues”. I don’t know, making it clear that we were accessing it early or something…

I can’t speak for everyone, but I know I’d be willing to tolerate games being a bit buggy if they up front said “we know this game has issues. You can try it now or you can wait until we fix them”.

Shoutout to Unlucky Steve who made this happen by paying $1000 to get one from the US a few minutes before the announcement.

Congratulations to Godot for all their new volunteer devs.

Okay, so there’s two lines I could go down for this.

The first is to joke about the recent controversy, and say that they’re only doing this so they can sue other alarm clock manufacturers for patent infringement.

The second is a wordplay by calling it “the s-watch”. But that doesn’t really translate well to text.

One of these days I’ll get around to playing A Hat in Time…

I think it’s petty to not play a game just because of the engine it’s written in…

I think I may have to make an exception to that rule for this. :P

(Trans rights are human rights, btw)

Edit: … Wait, hang on. Isn’t the notion of using a game engine at all “woke” in itself? Like, isn’t that the entire thing that started this whole thing?

Counterpoint: If you’re working from home it might be the only people contact you get for days.

Supposedly talking to people and touching grass is healthy.

If you beleive them, as far as I recall, Valve has said that they were working on the Steam Deck before the switch was revealed.

People seem oddly optimistic about all of this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the solution they came up with still wouldn’t work in Linux. I don’t know how exactly they’d do it, but I can imagine some encryption key or hardware nonsense that Linux can’t replicate.

People playing Rust code while they sleep so they can learn it through osmosis.

Was before my time, but iirc C and other (then) high level languages were supposedly able to put programmers out of jobs.

Tbh I’m kind of worried seeing a software group get into hardware. There are a lot of hidden costs and production issues which provide difficult challenges. I hope they succeed, but I worry this will just flop and cost them a lot of money.

Isn’t that just OpenGL/Vulcan and Linux?

Okay, this nerd sniped me super hard. Sure you can spend it on a big massive project like a mansion or whatever, but you aren’t going to be able to have it finished (and thus paid for) in a month.

Not too mention if you do want to drop that much money at one, there’ll be many checks in place. Your bank will block your account for “suspicious activity”. The person who you are paying will probably want to run a background check or just refuse to take payment up front.

You’d have to justify where you got that money from as well, most likely, and saying a “genie” probably would get you some strange looks and perhaps arrested.

I legit don’t know how you’d actually get rid of that much money in a month.

Proton isn’t designed to be a security layer and afaik doesn’t go out of its way to sandbox applications. I’d expect a lot of viruses will fail to do anything, but there’ll also be some able to do things like steal your browser or discord passwords.

There’s no reason to risk it; don’t run anything in Proton that you don’t feel safe running on Windows.
