Dual boot is the way for right now. Proton is huge, but there are still a good number of games with compatibility issues or rootkit anticheats. Personally I advise steering clear of the latter, but that’s neither here nor there.

I use CachyOS as my daily driver and booted up the Windows partition maybe 3 times since setting this up back in February (and most of those times were just to play REPO because Elgato hardware with dual input and output has serious issues with Linux, but I’ve sorted that out now with a workaround)

Let’s add a 4th person in there, someone who thinks they’re helping by doing nothing but yelling that the fire isn’t allowed to burn things

This is absolutely one of the reasons they’re pushing this garbage so hard. It’s VERY easy to manipulate as a propaganda tool.

You can already see that most of these tools lean right because their userbase does - leftists don’t touch this garbage because of numerous ethical concerns as-is. Add more astroturfing on top of that, and now it’s just a straight up automated fascist mouthpiece.

Of course it’s right-wing, lemmy.world is literally just a liberal hub LOL, its no different than reddit’s awful default subs.

Yeah true. It’s generally better from what I’ve seen but nazi chuds really are everywhere.

I can definitely see that. I’m not really too familiar with this space of games so I can’t speak on it much, but it does feel like a passion project, and that’s not a bad thing.

It’s actually so refreshing seeing upvoted comments here with the correct take, whereas the chuds would be all over this on the other site

Fuck JKR and everything she stands for

so is Windows

I didn’t pay for any Google bullshit and barely use anything of theirs these days. I paid for the hardware. There are literally full custom roms that sandbox and/or disable their junk

This is just like that kickstarter from one of the other teams from that fallout that was posted here not too long ago.

Wake me up when the actual original writers have something to show. Anything else leveraging the DE name is a scam.

It’s not really my genre but this is looking far more interesting anyway and doesn’t use any bullshit AI slop:

They live their entire lives pissed off at everything anyway

That explains it, I knew this art style looked extremely familiar but couldn’t place it

The AI bullshit all over this game is extremely concerning. If this isn’t pushed back on, it’s going to become an industry trend.

I got a retroid pocket ages ago. Thing’s been in a drawer since day 1. Feels incredibly clunky, both hardware and software. It just feels like a cheap toy.

I have an analog pocket now that does everything I wanted the retroid for much better, and even though it’s not quite the same form factor, the steam deck is an emulation beast too.

I posted this over on the other site.

The kickstarter mentions a few names but it doesn’t seem like Kurvitz or any had any involvement in this, and one of the leads of this project is an AI techbro consultant claiming he was one of the original creators. And yep, Longdue sued one of the original writers and won.

This one’s a HARD pass.

This is the only team out of this fallout that’s worth keeping an eye on imo. The other teams feel like they’re just trying to ride the hype for the money.

It’s alright but I’ve already stopped using it. I could never get it to the exact angle I want to use it, plus the mount on the deck itself needs to come off in order to use a dock.

It’s sturdy and secure, and it does exactly what it’s meant to, but I found I was having more arm and wrist strain while using it because of the weird mount. The lowest angle I could get it is still too high up and too far away to be comfortable. I wouldn’t really recommend it.
