Hmm..I wonder if I can install the original Blade Runner on Wine, since the installer doesnt work on windows anymore due to being..16bit i think.

I've not got an nvidia card in this computer, but the easiest and fastest distro setup I've ever had was with Nobara.

Which is a game focused linux distro created by Glorious Eggroll, the guy that does the custom proton versions.

You sound an awful lot like an abused spouse

"Oh sure, All those other times were bad, but she swore she wont hit me this time.. and she means it this time, honest!"

Anyone that actually puts their trust in this deserves whatever happens to them

So its Hamachi?

Valve has openly stated that they only work on things that interest them, which is why unless there is some interesting new technology to play with (like they played with VR for Alyx), there will be no HL3.

I can totally see them chasing the shiny and dropping VR to focus on Steamdeck as the new Shiny, and then dropping Steamdeck to focus on whatever the new technological shiny is after that.

I mean, the steamdeck is running on an APU, so its not going to run 2023 games like butter at high settings.

But on a home PC, with better (and dedicated) hardware, the game runs pretty good.

I've got Starfield on ultra settings and, so far.. outside of New Atlantis, my FPS has stayed maxed at vsync, and even in New Atlantis, its still very playable.

The irony of calling someone whiny while whining.

Sounds like the words of someone that needs to be roasted live over an open fire and devoured by coyotes.

I've always heard cleanroom, since you keep your coders completely isolated from the investigation team so there can be no question of code pollinating across, Just documentation to be reimplemented in a unique and different way.

couldnt they do the thing where one team analyzes the leaked code and documents functions.

and a nother, clean room team, creates independent fresh code to achieve the same results as the original?

I mean, clean room activity like that has a strong precedent, going back to EA vs Sega at least. where EA stole a sega genesis dev kit, had one team document the functions, had another team independently create code to execute those functions,and made their own dev kid and put out non-approved sega carts (which is why the EA sega carts were taller and had the yellow plastic tag)

Sega sued and EA won due the clean room engineering and sega and EA came to some kind of sweetheart deal/comrpromise/settlement.

Lutris can let you log into your GOG account and install games no issue.

I dont know how it handles updates, but thats only an issue if you're playing a new game, if you're just playing old games like Arcanum, its no issue.
