That’s why you should never put people on a pedestal. There are a lot of people I admire, but I always try to imagine them being stupid assholes most of the time to balance things out in my head.
and KDE users didn’t even get anything new at all.
This is misinformation.
KDE users got a broken Nvidia driver.
Tell me you haven’t used Linux in the past ~20 years without telling me you haven’t used Linux in the past ~20 years
Oh shit, you’re actually a modder! Thanks for helping to keep these old games alive, and keep up the good work!!
I’m a sucker for nostalgia.
I don’t remember all the steps I had to do, but I do remember it being a pain in the ass. I downloaded the black edition from myabandonware.com and installed a widescreen mod (which messed up the UI since some elements were slightly offscreen, but it didn’t bother me).
Besides that, the only other annoyance was the controls. There are actually a lot of community layouts for this game, but the ones I ended up using were a pain when navigating the menus. You’ll definitely want to try a few.
FWIW, here are my current working launch settings for it:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
So I guess if you get past the installer, those should get it to launch.
Even Steam themselves say it sucks for preventing piracy:
The Steam DRM wrapper by itself is not an anti-piracy solution. The Steam DRM wrapper protects against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying all game files to another computer) and has some obfuscation, but it is easily removed by a motivated attacker.
Plus, it’s optional for devs.
I pirated Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) and played it from start to finish on my Steam Deck because it was impossible to buy. I would’ve paid $20 for that old ass game if it was available for sale, but it was literally impossible.
The problem is that these giant publishers are led by MBAs, and as someone who went to business school, I know first hand how stupid those people are.
Python is the best language for tooling and systems stuff. It’s like bash, but good (and portable)
