Indeed. Proton for the win yet again.

Blind trial and error, mostly. Making the game folder read-only was the real "duct-tape" part, it occued to me to do that after steam kept "updating" the game and breaking my solution.

This certainly isn't of the same caliber as some of these other comments, but I found it to be fitting to the topic.

Last year I was having problems getting the game stellaris working on arch. (I use bazzite now, btw) My solution was the following:

  1. download the game via steam.
  2. switch it to use proton
  3. switch it back to linux version
  4. use the terminal to make the entire game folder read-only, so that steam couldn't touch the game anymore and screw it up.
  5. add the exicutable to PATH
  6. start the game via terminal

If any one of those step was left out, it didn't work. I'm no linux expert, so I didn't have the skills to actuality find the real problem.

Outward is made to be played by two players. It's a really beautiful survival rpg with difficult combat.

Glad I could help.

The survival elements are certainly a big part of rhe game, but if you want to reduce thier impact, there are a few mods that help.

I use a meditation mod, which alows you to slowly regen all three major stats (hp, stamina, mana) by sitting and doing nothing. This makes a HUGE difference in that you then only need potions for healing during fights, you never need to worry about having items to heal up.

Another one links all your stashes (one in each city where you buy a house) so that you don't have to carry everything with you al the time.

Another one (that I don't use) is improved inventory. It allows for sending items from your backpack directly to your stash. So again, you don't have to worry so much about how to carry loot back from dungeons, etc.

There's still a bit of inventory management, and both illnesses and environmental factors still need to be dealt with, but that's it.

I'm playing Outward, I'm loving the world and the artwork, and how challenging the combat is. It's an entirely different sort of RPG, and super-refreshing.

I also occasionally play dwarf fortress, and mech arena on iOS when I have a short break.

Another win for bazzite! I haven't even used waydroid yet, but I'm happy to know it's there.

You know thwy spelled them all wrong on purpose, right?

Well I suppose some rando on lemmy isn't going to change that.

It's not false hope. It's just a long journey ahead.

You obviously understand more about the details of US politics than I do, and perhaps getting rid of the electoral college isn't realistic right now.

I get where you are coming from, this doesn't mean we can just sit back and enjoy. But this kind of turnout is a good thing. Harris is going to win, and that's the first step in the right direction.

 

I need some help here from the experts.

Some background below, but here's the question:

Can I run KDE and Gnome on bazzite? How can I install and manage multiple images? I feel silly asking this, but I'm just not finding the correct documentation.

Background:

I have been running KDE desktop Bazzite on my PC for a while now, and I'm loving the robust and easy system (not to mention the ease of gaming). But I have found that one program just doesn't work correctly, and I had a game (Stellaris) freeze my system several times.

I ended up installing EndeavorOS on an older PC to experiment, and found out that the program in question (openAndroidInstaller) requires a Gnome portal to access my hardware. (Long live the Terminal!) Now I suspect that perhaps the game freeze wouldn't happen with Gnome either. So I want to have both on bazzite, but can't figure it out.

 

Tiff was such a fun run!

A found a +3 leather armor early, which I was able to enchant with stone glyph (coverts evasion into damage reduction). This combined with the freerunner evasion abilities was incredibly effective at reducing damage overall.

The rings of haste and fervor were also a great find, because speed is life for the freerunner. I was so fast that I was occasionally one-hitting enemies before they even woke up! Never experienced that before.

Finally, the kinetic katana. I was able to save all my SoUs until I found the katana next to the troll blacksmith (found some +2 weapons that did OK until then), and I poured everything I had into it. It was at +9 by the dwarves, and boy did that feel good.

I’ve been playing less to win and more to try interesting builds lately, but this one was an easy ascension. And man was he fast!
