AMD has open-source drivers that play better with Linux distros. If you're running post-2020 Intel hardware, good luck.

GoG install scripts are actually community-submitted and not actively maintained. You might have some luck with Lutris or WINE. Sometimes, Bottles or even PlayOnLinux are compatible. WINE actually lets you emulate older editions of Windows for PC games. Sometimes, all you have to do is switch the toggle from 'Win7' to 'Win95', and it works.

It's a headache, and a loooot of googling, trying to get games to run. But with Proton's introduction, it's gotten a lot easier to get things to run without pulling out wads of hair.

But you're right, if the app is non-native? Have fun breaking out the thumbscrews, because ya better like pain. 😂

Less user-hostile? Maybe. Hostile to the tech-illiterate? Oh, absolutely. There is no handholding. There are no guardrails. You wanna "sudo rm -fr / --no-preserve-root"? o7, gamer.

"Put it back! I liked it better when it was broken!"

Jokes aside though, have you SEEN GamesDoneQuick's Triforce% TAS? Jesus Turing Christ, that was amazing. It felt like the gaming equivalent of watching the Lunar Landing.

This scene was actually drawn hastily as the shot itself was done during the crunch period of production, at the very end of the deadline. Be Our Guest was so immensely, terribly complex that it took a small army of extremely talented artists to pull off!

The pencil roughs of Beast's human face were much more aesthetically pleasing, but it just didn't translate to the finished cel.

Belle discovering that she had a monster-fucker kink, mid-Stockholm Syndrome/Lima Syndrome tango, only to have that taken away from her at the last minute?

You saw her face at the end of the movie, it wasn't just surprise, it was disappointment! 😂

Still, she and Beast working through their problems and having a healthy relationship after... well, the involuntary confinement thing was over.

And for my next trick, I mean miracle, I'll convince this crowd that Jesus is cool with rich bureaucrats by pounding the Widow And Her Two Mites into their skulls for the second time in a month.

Camels and needles? Rendering to Caesar? Braiding a whip? Loaves and fishes? Whaaaat, no, that's socialism, I mean Satanism!

But will you be a sunbeam for him?

i feel so called out.

HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP IT 🤘🤡🤘

Oh, my point is simple. Let me spell it out for you.

COUNTERSPELL.

You know what else a Rakshasa can't do?

Breathe underwater. Or pick locks on a pair of handcuffs. Or lift a 500lb concrete block attached to their ankle.

Or teleport past the slowly sinking metal grate keeping them from the surface.

My workflow for a character goes like this:

• Pick a song or a general aesthetic that I like.
• Make a character that, if you squint and look sideways hard enough, you can see it.
• Pick a random name and gender.

Seriously. Pick ANY folk-punk, hiphop, or heavy metal anthem that's been stuck in your head for a week.

"The illusory rabbit barbarian plants its feet, hefts its axe, rears back its head... and squeaks."

Angry rabbit familiar: (absolutely living for it)

My cowardly wizard: (so damn proud of her for finally making a dude piss his pants)

Dragon cultist: (confused screaming)

That movie was perfectly written for its target audience. Every D&D player knew what was happening, knew how it happened, and could easily imagine the DM's exasperated facial expressions as they dragged these lunatics feet first into a good story.

As a player of a goblin cleric... Selûne save me, this is too damn relatable.

Yo dawg, I heard you like documentaries.

People have been shitting on that lizard-faced freak since Facebook's first flame wars between McCain and Obama supporters.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written.

Of course he does, it reminds him of home.

The eternal enemy of Dudes and Dudeism everywhere: Nihilists and Nihilism.
