Good Linux ports are great, but realistically most of the Linux native games in my collection run worse than if I force the same game to run through proton.

Good native versions take more work than most devs are able/willing to give with the size of the Linux community. If devs will actually give attention to and make sure the proton versions of their games run well, that's a better outcome than the state of Linux gaming up until now.

And hopefully Linux user base will grow enough that we're worth actual maintained native ports in the future, but until that happens we don't need to be hostile towards devs for using an easier method to make sure their games are available on Linux.

I'm in a similar boat, I have a steam deck and a modded switch that I can transfer games/saves over to my PC and deck.

The switch still gets use for the following reasons:

• online play (when the deck is not booted into custom firmware)

• some games don't run well when emulated. This is getting better all the time, but is still an issue, especially with newly released games. I wasn't satisfied with ToTK performance on release for my deck so I ended up playing it exclusively on my switch. Also you need shader caches for games to run well, and the games stutter and hang a lot while generating those in new areas.

• the games that do run well still aren't very efficient in terms of power consumption, and you'll get longer battery life out of the switch for most emulated titles.

The Deck does have significant advantages over the switch, like bigger screen, bigger storage, more comfortable to hold, PC games, etc. If there's a PC port of a switch game it will run better on deck than on switch, with comparable battery on comparable graphics levels.

Might call around to your local GameStop's and see if they have any in stock. I think they dropped the requirement to be a GameStop pro member(or whatever it's called) to buy one there.

I think the same website posted a Playstation version.

Thank you!

Truthfully it was pretty low effort to make, but I appreciate it anyways.

Objects coming out of the portal in "a" have to have velocity coming out (they don't magically appear outside of the portal, they move out inch by inch/ cm by cm). So in a you would actually have double the deceleration on the train because it has to accelerate people leaving the portal and then instantly decelerate them once they have fully exited the portal.

My original idea for this involved two tracks (like the original trolley problem) and which track you chose (for minimum casualties) would depend on your interpretation of the physics problem.

Unfortunately it ended up super complicated and I made this simple one instead.

But adding the train on a treadmill is a great way to overcomplicate it further if I ever go for the complicated version.

Yeah, this is my interpretation as well. The people have to have momentum as they exit the portal, to make room for the other mass to exit if for no other reason.

Not in the regular game, there are mods/fan games that allow it though.

My understanding is this engine was previously only available in beta, but now it's available to everyone. So you should be fine picking none.

Demon's Tilt has been on my radar for awhile now. I've really enjoyed non-traditional pinball games like Metroid Prime Pinball and Yoku's Island Express, Demon's Tilt looks closer to a traditional table than those two but still seems like it goes beyond what a physical table could do.

Edit: just got notified by steam that the sequel to Demon's Tilt just released: XenoTilt

Fanatical actually has it on sale right now for 30% off. Biggest sale on steam so far is just a 20% sale, so the fanatical deal is pretty good.
