I hadn't read spoilers so I had no idea it was coming. Honestly kind of sours the rest of the show for me, I was really enjoyed the layers of mystery being pulled back until then.

I have young kids, so being able to play anywhere and still be aware of my surroundings, and being able to suspend and then pick up and play again almost immediately has meant I've been able to actually play long form singleplayer games. It's the single best gaming purchase I've ever made.

GoW is so good, I'm going play the Spidermans after I finish Horizon Zero Dawn

I would buy D4 in a heartbeat if I could play offline

[–] madnerds@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

Horizon Zero Dawn and before that God of War. Both very fun, I hope Horizon Forbidden West and GoW Ragnarok are headed to PC soon.

In order to run windows games in Linux, the Proton compatibility layer creates a faux windows directory in a folder called "compatdata" in which the game files can refer to each other and the save files. Separately, it also creates shader caches in another folder that are used to help prevent stutters by precalculating assets. This is the same for steam and non-steam games. When steam games are uninstalled, those folders and files were deleted as well. Until this update, they were not automatically deleted for non-steam games, you had to go and do it manually to free up that harddrive space.

Yep, we need universal right to repair/ease of repair regulations to stem all the electronic waste.

It would be nice to have it covered in a phone warranty or something. Would like to also see legislation requiring software updates for 5 years, is kind of silly how fast devices are considered obsolete by their manufacturers. Even Microsoft supports Windows versions for like 10 years.
