proton

Is that even an option on the Mac? And “Proton games” wouldn’t show the Mac and SteamOS platform icon on the Steam store.

We're also releasing Civilization VII for MacOS and Linux / SteamOS. However, we don't have specs to share for those platforms at this time.

Now whether all this is just a mix-up in this age of “Linux ports aren’t worth it and they always suck anyway”… maybe.

As per the linked FAQ,

What platforms will Sid Meier's Civilization VII be available on?

Sid Meier's Civilization VII will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam (which also supports Mac and Linux) and the Epic Games Store.

The Steam store (preorder) listing shows all three platform icons so I’m guessing they’re not just talking about making it work with Proton.

No mention yet of Aspyr (who ported Civ 5 & 6) as far as I can see.

Wired and wireless X-Box 360 controllers with the built-in kernel drivers, generally hassle-free these days!

Sounds like it — it was posted by The Elder Scrolls Online, not Valve. (Edit: Yes, of course this still means Proton.)

I guess they just don’t want to bother with it any more?

As reported by GamingOnLinux, the folks behind the modern Myst-like Quern have a native Linux demo out on Steam for an exploration-heavy first-person adventure game called Dimhaven Enigmas.

There’s a Kickstarter with tons of additional information.

In an age of native Linux support getting dropped or passed over I hope it goes well for them.

And if you’re into that sort of thing, Quern is currently 80% off. (Though it’s also 80% off if you’re not into that sort of thing)

Note that when the changelog mentions "Windows builds" or "Mac builds", they mean the games, not builds of Heroic itself… I think.

Well, I don’t really like headphones, so mostly I’m using my living room stereo like it’s 1987 and I just got my first Amiga.

I do have a pair of beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros (3.5 mm TRS) because they’re supposed to sound “neutral” and their main purpose is to aid in audio …“work”… and voice chat. But they’re just fine for gaming, I guess, and have been trouble-free and fairly pleasant to wear (as big headphones go).

Yes. I think Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 were my last "anchors" to Windows (7, at the time). I barely ever booted into it… I wanted to be NOT IN WINDOWS more than I wanted to play games. But I did keep it around until there just wasn’t anything left that I wanted to run but couldn’t, or not well. The first Humble Indie Bundles with games like FEZ and Limbo had been out by that point as well. I’ve generally made sure not to buy too “crazy” hardware (like Bluetooth controllers… yes, I’m old and a neophobe and I don’t know what else).

They are the same game in many ways, but Paradroid has a flat top-down view with smooth omni-directional scrolling and can quickly become FAST AND DEADLY on any of the more dangerous decks…

[-] monolalia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This Quazatron? I’ve always adored Quazatron in static screenshots in magazines. An isometric/3D-ish Paradroid?! <3! But I guess the Zedex was too alien to me to get around to it.

Text descriptions, neofetches, photos; it’s all fine!

Oddly enough I no longer have that issue since the update (although it seems to come and go, and be present in the beta but not the ““stable”” client or vice versa). Plasma/Kwin Wayland scaled to 200% on UHD.

Welcome ^^ How do you like our new banner lol

[-] monolalia@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

By now I just expect it to work, unless it’s some drm-tastic ultrapopular multiplayer game. I don’t even check protondb any more…
