That misses the point. The Last of Us Part I is Steam Deck verified, but it consumes far too many resources.
Do note that I’m not just talking about the Deck. Some hardware can run it smoothly, some can’t, but in all cases, it’s an insultingly bloated pig of a port.


Verified or not, I hope it doesn’t require a year’s salary of hardware and a nuclear power plant to run, like the first PC port did.


“A prickle of hoglets.”


You had cassettes? We had to manually transcribe machine code from printed listings.


Breath of the Wild: Beautiful. Mysterious. Inspired.
Tears of the Kingdom. Big. Shallow. Boring.
I found the first dozen or two hours of TotK exciting, as I encountered new mechanics and a darker side of Hyrule. But it wasn’t long before the new and exciting became endless expanses of copy/paste encounters and terrain, forgettable characters, and annoying enemies. Nothing felt clever or interesting. I lost interest in exploring, and wandered away from the game.
Then I went back to the first game for another run.
Do these accept cash, or only ATM cards? (The latter would link your transaction to your bank account, of course.)
What do they give? A printout of a wallet address?


I think the quote was, “I’m an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git.”


Wow… Given that the GPU was released just a few days ago, that’s impressive for open-source drivers. Thanks for posting this.


Yes, that’s what I thought: It’s just affiliate linking (aka marketing) that any app can use, not a partnership between Heroic and GOG. Thanks for following up and confirming it.
Quoting /u/imLinguin in the post you linked:
Heroic dev here. We are just part of the affiliate program since we help people access GOG on Linux easier. There is nothing more, so there is no need for official announcements from the GOG side.


Gog funds Heroic.
By some other means than affiliate link payouts? I’m not aware of any such arrangement, but if one exists, can you link some details about it?


There are also GUI launchers that can download from GOG:


Affiliate links are not business partnerships. Does Heroic have anything more than that with GOG?
EDIT: The answer is no, GOG is not partnered with Heroic Games Launcher.


I expect MatrixRTC will be capable of screen sharing if it isn’t already, so this is probably just a matter of time, so long as Matrix gets the sponsors they need to continue their work.


What milestone?


I don’t find it surprising at all. Lots of software bugs remain hidden until some circumstance triggers them. Different hardware, different levels of system load, different filesystems… all sorts of things can make a difference.
For what it’s worth, I was using packaged builds on Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and Debian.
Glad you’ve been lucky. :)


I’ve tried it several times over the years, but was disappointed every time to find that it was very crashy. I hope they get that sorted out.


I would be satisfied with people not making wild, misleading, insulting claims about others in the first place.
I wonder why you’re so intent on arguing in support of that behavior.
It could probably use a review comparing with Planet Coaster 2.
