Even just reading this description makes me kind of jumpy. That’s how memorable that video was I guess.

Yeah, they certainly aren’t cheap, so I get that…

Thanks for the heads up, I also bought the 1€ shader course. Given the price I won’t be too upset if it isn’t amazing, but I’ll lower my expectations anyway.

I previously did some of their Blender courses by Grant Abbitt and they were very good for a beginner like me, so it’s disappointing to read their Godot courses aren’t that great.

For Godot, GDQuest seems to have the best quality from my experience so far, especially when it comes to not teaching bad practices.

Was LinVST among the tools you tried? It works really well for my purchased VSTs.

Instead of calling them a bootlicker you could try to explain why you feel they are wrong.

Saving this comment just in case I ever end up in a similar situation. Very well explained!

Good to see they have an AppImage now. Setting it up on Linux was a hassle when I last played it around a year and a half ago.

Agreed, I have Spotify premium for the convenience, but I have no illusions about where that money goes, which is why I go to concerts and buy vinyl records when possible.

This what I do and it works pretty flawlessly. I’ve never used Bottles or Lutris since I started adding the games to Steam. It also takes care of controller support.

It’s the other way around. Dense cities consume less energy for transport per capita, so they do not look like this.

Examples

This is more or less what I wish Beyond Good And Evil had been. The combat in that game wasn’t good but I liked the idea of having to photograph evidence and getting photos of wildlife on the side to earn some money. It wasn’t nearly as fleshed out as your idea though.

I have found that some games that are problematic on Windows actually run better on Linux through Proton. Performance in general can be slightly worse or slightly better depending on the game, but these days it definitely rivals Windows. That said, if you like multiplayer games; those usually do not work well on Linux, especially when they have anticheat. Also, native Linux versions are often broken, the Windows version through Proton usually works better.

Can’t speak to the GoXLR, you might be able to find some info on linuxmusicians.com. I got my Tascam audio interface and my Mooer GE200 working out of the box though (with less latency than on Windows).

If that didn’t make it ahead of its time I don’t know what would. Thanks for sharing!

I would never buy such games in the first place. If a singleplayer game doesn’t have an offline mode I’m not interested.
