I use Heroic Launcher, it supports GOG and the Epic Store, but adding DRM-free games to it is also as easy as Lutris.

I understand that with wine/proton prefixes they should be installed to a “fake c:/ windows hierarchy” can I just compress that and copy to a different Linux machine?

Yup, your save games are in your wine prefix so feel free to back them up and just use them again. Note that the game itself isn’t necessarily in the prefix, you could have installed it elsewhere.

Does it save which proton version was used?

I don’t think so, but it shouldn’t matter. You can change versions any time and it’ll just update your prefix.

If I use something like Lutris or bottles can I import into them?

Yes, you can set the prefix path to that folder you copied and it should pick up where you left things.

It still took me forever so I found a guide

It depends on what you mean by piece of technology I guess, since what we have now is a culmination of thousands of awesome tech over the last few hundred years.

If I were to choose one thing, I’d say the telephone. It’s the predecessor to the internet, and suddenly communication between people was instant rather than messages that’d take forever (or morse for the places that had it).

It probably changed the world forever, being able to talk to someone in a completely different country and share something quickly.

What a coincidence, I just watched Totoro again a few days ago :)

If weapons are allowed, we would win by a landslide. If no weapons are allowed, even then I would think the animals would just start killing each other before they even get to us.

Because they were getting really stale and they wanted to hold onto the franchise name anyways. People are nostalgic now, but when AC games were coming out back to back people were getting really bored of it.

When Assassin’s Creed 3 came out, everyone was saying how this is the third time they remade what is basically the same game (AC2, brotherhood, revelations, then 3). People weren’t impressed. Unity and Rogue didn’t sell that well. Syndicate apparently also didn’t sell very well.

So they basically remade the franchise into an RPG starting from Origins. They aren’t that special, but honestly, neither was everything after Revelations.

It’s honestly kind of amazing that it lasted so long in the first place

Very cool. I think PieFed will be a sleeper hit when it’s stable, right now the spotlight is on Lemmy and Mbin but I’d gladly switch to it if it has better features. I like the idea of topics to make content discovery way easier. Polls seem nice as well.

There’s a button in the bottom right to make the page wide. As for text size, I guess it’s kind of redundant since you can just zoom in the page.

There’s even a deluxe edition of the game that comes with a physical version of the manual! Though having all the pages from the start is a little spoilery.

If somebody hasn’t played Jak and Daxter yet, now is the time. It’s a lovely 3D platformer, I can’t wait until the whole trilogy is ported.

Bro just trust me bro it’s year of the Linux desktop bro everyone will use Linux bro

Shoutout to !wizardposting@kbin.social and !witchymemes@lemmy.world as well!

Inbetween all the garbage spam about AI I almost missed this was actually a post announcing laptops with the new Snapdragon chips. It’ll be interesting to see performance on windows ARM when they release next month

Dropping the old NTFS driver.

Good stuff. Hasn’t there always been confusion on mounting your NTFS drive using the old driver vs the new?

I still use Eternity, but unfortunately it seems like development stopped. Still the best IMO.

What’s suspicious about it…?

It’s open source, and they already said they were Mac only because they used Metal for rendering. It’s not suspicious for devs to use what they’re most familiar with.

People that have this opinion often only play AAA games. There are a lot of indie games that channel old-school game energy and improve upon them. Shovel Knight for example is a lot better than old platformers wish they were. A Hat in Time is a ton of fun compared to the vast majority of PS2/Gamecube 3D platformers. Hollow Knight is better than any Metroid game (I know a lot of people would disagree, though).
