I had a heck of a time trying to get It Takes Two to work on my machine. Apparently every game that launches the EA App from Steam is broken now and needs a custom fix using ProtonTricks.
These are sadly the kind of issues that scare people away from Linux gaming. The stuff that works, works great. But when something is not supported, it can be a real pain to find a fix.
I remember in Paper Mario: TTYD one of the late game tattle entries on a X-naut enemy clarifies that its pronounced "cross"-nauts. This game had me mispronouncing the villain team's name the entire time until the end.
Lack of search really makes it hard to find a discussion on anything, which is what I used reddit for. I hope its a thing that gets implemented eventually.
I enjoy listening to these podcasts more for their entertainment value than just trying to get the best information.
Podquisition - The hosts are very entertaining as they go over the games they've played as well as news in the industry. Laura also does a great job at reporting news leaks.
What's Good Games - Industry veterans who run a little too high energy go over gaming news as well as games they've played and often get hands-on impressions for upcoming titles.
The Inverted Castle - Fun retrospectives on Metroidvania games of old.
Square Roots - A Let's Play on classic RPGs that goes into great detail on each game across multiple episodes featuring the hosts thoughts and opinions on the games as they play through each section together.
That's good to hear that even though the vaccine is targeting the last big Omicron variant (XBB.1.5) aka Kraken, that its still effective towards the new Eris variant as its similar enough.
So it's a brute force approach using automated systems. They mention their method is superior to traditional brute force methods by doing unorthodox things, but the article does not go into detail into how.
I mean, great news if this methodology pans out. There just very little to go off from the article. Either way, seems like a pretty neat testing suite.
Really, just look up any online multiplayer game you play for proton compatibility. Like I believe Valorant does not work either due to the strict anti-cheat systems not playing nice with wine.
I'll second Strawberry. I loved foobar and was worried about losing it when I migrated to linux, but I found Strawberry and it looks and functions just the way I liked foobar.
Dark Souls is kind of a lonely game, I wonder if they'll recruit some ally npc characters like the Solaire, Siegmeyer and that funny little guy named Patches. Or will they go the Samurai Jack style and revel in the loneliness of the journey.
I had no idea kbin refuses to see bots. I'll bug the creator about that. I assume it's a safety thing that was set to prevent the servers from being overloaded too quickly, since kbin was struggling hard those first few days of the reddit blackout/migration.
This is awesome. I've been doing these manually on kbin.social and its a huge pain. And I love that its hosted on its own anime-centric server rather than any of the big lemmy/kbin ones that may be defederated like you mentioned.
EDIT:
I feel like you are still fracturing discussion by posting to both lemmy.ml and ani.social.
Can you not crosspost in lemmy (ie make the lemmy.ml posts take you to ani.social)? So everyone is funneled to the same spot.

After a while of searching, I found this guide and it was a lifesaver.
