    The GOG version doesn't come with widescreen and controller support. I had to install a custom widescreen patch for the game and use AntiMicroX to enable controller support.

    That doesn't allow you to update the game though, so it doesn't work out great for new games with frequent updates and a large download file size.

    The Fedora software app has been promoting flatpaks over native packages, even not displaying that native packages are available even if they are, requiring the command line tool to access some native packages. So I don't see how this is fundamentally different.

    Watching the trailer again, it seems to have that same overly clean, lifeless HUD that all the other recent Mario games have been going for. That's kinda sad, a blemish on what otherwise seems to be great work.

    I remember playing this with a friend. We modified the source code to allow us to use the fast-forward functionality in an online mutiplayer game. Once we figured out how to make proper grade-separated junctions, it ended up becoming quite a tedium. I wish Transport Fever had a multiplayer mode.

    I exclusively use Linux on my PC, including for gaming, and have so for ten years.

    It's... A mixed bag. Getting to use Linux instead of Windows is the great part about it. The totally different philosophy, a convenient way to install apps, no mess with device drivers, easy distro-hopping and reinstallation, a way to free yourself from the vendor lock-in. If you haven't tried it, but think you'd enjoy it, I'd strongly encourage you to try it.

    Gaming works but isn't pain-free. I can enjoy a lot of games, and SteamPlay is fantastic. But there's moments like when I have to redownload all 20GB of Transport Fever 2 on GOG after an update was released, because there is no GOG Galaxy on Linux. Last week I was trying to get Trackmania 2020 running with a friend. The gameplay worked fine, but the Ubisoft Connect overlay was totally bugged. Whenever I opened the overlay, the game would then refuse all keyboard and controller inputs until I restarted it. Since the party system uses this overlay, I couldn't play with my friend because of this bug. And our entire evening was wasted reading through forums and ProtonDB to try to fix the problem to no avail.

    I encourage you to take a look and see for yourself and try it, I will never go back to Windows, and it's free so you're not losing anything by trying. A passion for fixing things yourself helps. And it's not all sunshine and roses. But good luck, and we'll do our best to help you if you need it.

    I love Elves. Just splurge them out on the board and give them all +20/+20. Sadly they don't work well in Modern anymore. I also cut Natural Order and Craterhoof from my Commander Elves deck since it was too oppressive.

    The fight against cancer is a fight against ableist systems of oppression like what you're talking about here. I'm sorry for what you had to go through.

    I'm playing a lot of Commander and some Modern and Pioneer. Will be dipping my toes into fully proxied Legacy soon. Overall, I prefer the theme building and deckbuilding freedom in Commander, but I can also appreciate the 60 card competitive gameplay.

    Recently I scrapped my Perrie, the Pulverizer deck after it wasn't performing. I turned it into a Denry Klin deck, hoping to try that out soon!

    What's your favourite format?

    What format do y'all enjoy playing the most? I love the deckbuilding freedom in Commander and I'm kinda addicted to optimizing my decks. Some week I put more cantrips in all of my decks, another time I'm thinking I need more graveyard hate and slot more Scavenger Grounds in my decks.

    Following remote communities is hard.

    It's easy to discover communities on my instance via the dedicated page in the hamburger menu. But let's say I want to follow a community on another instance, such as [!lemmy@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy) . I might have found its name mentioned in a post or comment. When I click on the provided link, I'm thrown on that instances web page, from which I of course can't subscribe. So what I instead have to do is to copy the description of the link and paste it in my instance's search bar. Which isn't easy, since it's a link, so there isn't even a straightforward way to select the link text without clicking the link. This seems very unintuitive and makes the process of joining a whole bunch of communities tedious. Is there a better way?

    Yeah. I am car-free because of a disability. I usually use public transit around the city, but recently I've done a lot more trips by bike. Just got my bike fixed after an accident and I'm ready to go again and it feels liberating!

    I also like these public transit-integrated taxi services that are significantly cheaper than a real taxi, and another 50% off for disabled riders.

    As a cancer patient I was heavily opposed to the "fight" language as well. I just broke down and cried a lot after my diagnosis.

    I guess Flatpak it is. Bummer about the huge overhead of storage space you need for flatpaks, but it's the technology the Red Hat side of things have been pushing for years.
