I am hyped, Urist. Long time Fortress Mode player, but have been waiting to play Adventure Mode until the official graphics come out.

This has "shitty boss discovers Yelp for the first time" energy

That seems pretty distant, but for an honest-to-god General Strike 4+ years of planning seems more reasonable than those annoying flyers about striking a month out.

No strike is serious without being able to last long enough to threaten the bottom line, and no strike lasts very long without a huge amount of long term, outside support beyond the picket line.

I'm also glad to see Wayland tools maturing. The hand wringing about lack of X forwarding was always FUD and a nonsense reason to cling to the fiction that X works well over a socket and justify all the shitty compromises X made to remain compatible with it.

The Windows scheduler is so stupid chip manufacturers manipulate the BIOS/ACPI tables to force it to make better decisions (particularly with SMT) rather than wait on MS to fix it.

Linux just shrugs, figures out the thread topology anyway and makes the right decisions regardless.

One Take Frakes returns, you love to see it

Nobody running a FOSS third party launcher is an average end user. Also, people routinely add flags to typical games even on Windows (e.g. -skiplauncher)... It's really not that big a deal.

For me this game is about getting murdered by invincible tortoises. Great roguelike.

From ProtonDB it seems it plays well, but like most ARPGs it has tiny text. The game fully supports controllers though, so I wouldn't expect too much trouble.

That's a hell of a changelog. Grim Dawn is low key one of the best ARPGs of the last decade. Not as cluttered as PoE, not as arcadey as D3.

Came here for the Discworld reference, was not disappointed.

Really? I use Arch native Steam and Proton no problem. You either use steam-runtime (uses built in Ubuntu runtime) or steam-native (expects Arch packages) but there is a meta package for pulling the runtime deps. Both have worked for me.

That said, Flatpak has come in clutch for me as well on the Steam Deck, and for things like Prism Launcher (modded Minecraft launcher) where you want to juggle multiple Java versions without needing to run archlinux-java between switching packs.
