Dystakruulon Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains

There's also Proton-GE [1], which is even more experimental and adds some bleeding edge fixes and features.

I've heard it's pretty good for fixing video playback/rendering (e.g. cutscene) issues if both the stable and the experimental branch of Proton can't make it work.

Dystakruulon Attention Media ≠ Social Networks

I think one of the main flaws of Reddit is that upvotes that happen on a user's front page and upvotes that come from 'within' the subreddit are treated equal (at least as far as I know).

It degrades the "does this post fit the subreddit's theme/topic?"-signal and makes the average user work against the moderation team rather than supporting them.

This was exacerbated when they started showing posts from subreddits that the user is not even subscribed to on the front page rather than just ranking posts of subscribed subreddits.

Dystakruulon Microsoft closes several large Bethesda affiliated game studios

just a note for inattentive readers: Outer Wilds from GP's comment is a very different game compared to Outer Worlds which the parent comment mentions. (it doesn't help that they were both released in the same year, 2019)

Outer Wilds: action-adventure, open world mystery game with puzzles

Outer Worlds: action role-playing game, open world first-person-shooter (similar to the Fallout games)

Dystakruulon Helldivers 2 Removed from Purchase on Steam in over 150 Countries

> suddenly has a requirement

I think players were already asked to link their accounts since the game's release, but it was optional (in the sense that you could easily skip that step).

also, for further context, here's the official announcement that sparked this whole thing: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/41968685...

Dystakruulon Helldivers 2 Removed from Purchase on Steam in over 150 Countries

> the player count did not take any obvious hit

> on steam the delisting seems to have affected almost no active players

in most cases, if you bought a game on steam before it got delisted, you can still play it. even if you uninstalled it in between, you can re-download it.

the actual impact won't be fully visible until May 30th or June 4th since that's when they will start blocking access to the game for players who didn't link their accounts[1].
