  • My kid was quite small for his age when he was in little league, and he was awful at baseball - I think he maybe got 2 or 3 hits the entire time he was playing, but because he was so small, he had a really tiny strike zone, and he pretty quickly realized that if he just never swung at anything, he’d get on base every single time. It was kind of funny, in a sad kind of way.

    I’ve been trying to make the switch for years and just recently decided to bite the bullet when I replaced some hardware, going linux-only. There’s surprisingly few games that don’t work in Linux, even if they require a bit of tinkering to get there. Especially if you play mostly indie games (since DRM and anti-cheat seem to be a big reason for many of the ones that don’t work in Linux). My feeling is that there’s enough games out there (and unplayed ones in my library, even) that if I can’t play a few AAA titles on Linux, I can just use that as a reason to skip them entirely.

    Edit: If you’re playing Steam games, you need to check “Enable Steam Play for all other titles” in Settings -> Compatibility. This makes it try to use Proton to play things that it hasn’t verified will work, which works for most things.

    For non-Steam games, if you use Lutris, it can largely handle installation including compatibility layers via WINE or whatever else for you. Makes the process very painless.

    One of those two use cases apply to about 95% of games I’ve tried, including stuff like old games from GoG (even DOS games that use GoG-supplied compatibility tools run fine, surprisingly).

    Any time I see something like this, I can only assume that the only thing the author knows about liberal ideology is gender politics, and that they think that that’s the entire portfolio, and yet somehow feels strongly enough about gender-related issues that they still spend their time being vocally opposed to it. It’s really kind of baffling.

    I imagine it would be quite fun for a while, but that the novelty would wear thin about the time you woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom for the first time.

    Filling a basement den with them, though… lounging in a sea of balls while watching TV or something… I am not seeing the downside.
