I'm sorry, what game? This just looks like a 5$ bin indie™ (They got 30M$ in funding through investments) Unreal Engine 4 shooter. The fact that there's no controller support or console ports planned says more than enough. What's newsworthy about their use of a crappy anti-cheat? Not like most in here were ever going to even think about it. It's a freemium GAAS shooter with an almost inevitably a small player base which will be all but dead a few months after coming out. I know I'm being mean and their people have been working on this game for years now, but come on.

Man, an AppImage? If I ever get it it'll be on Steam for sure.

Every fucking suggestion you received can be bought for ~30-50$ right now. If that's "crazy expensive" to you, maybe you should consider just getting a regular mouse. I'm pretty happy with my 10$ wireless mouse from Amazon. Neither regular or gaming mice will have issues with Linux, as you'd know if you just spent five minutes with any search engine.

So long as you're not playing competitively, for which you'll generally want a computer that's actually "crazy expensive", you don't need a gaming mouse. It's a luxury item.

You said you're looking for a new mouse and that Linux support is a concern in the same message. That is going to lead most people to assume you're at least open to suggestions. For sure sometimes people in nerdy forums will try to 'correct' you rather than help you, but come on.

And the only thing I'd worry about is customization software. Mechanical keyboards are generally well supported on Linux in that regard, but #Gamer #RGB, consumer peripherals will often only target Windows users on the software end of things.

Not only is this a really interesting idea, this has to be one of the most beautifully written and structured bash scripts I've ever seen. I'll give it a try later!

Now I'm just hoping AppImage will follow in Snap's footsteps.

That one's in part because cruelty is by design I imagine, but also because the people giving those injections aren't medical professionals and can't legally obtain those substances. Guess that also explains how they can fuck up finding veins this bad. From what I've read and heard (In Last Week Tonight among others, I believe) they basically just use toxic crap that chemically burns the inmate from the inside and makes them asphyxiate while conscious. And of course they turn out to be undeserving of an execution around 5% of the time.

Gosh, what a mess... I don't know how active this forum is or was, but if someone were to pick things up once more to run this forum reasonably I assume they could simply open the door to some donations?

Go-doh. The French pronunciation. 👀 From "En attendant Godot". Hearing it pronounced "Go-dot" annoys me as much as hearing someone say "jif" instead of "gif". 😂

You can make use of the operating system's own text-to-speech systems, either as an accessibility feature or to create old-school voiced games. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/audio/text_to_speech.html It apparently should work out of the box on Windows and MacOS, but not all Linux distros will have the proper packages pre-installed.

Like some lazy plagiarizing kid… I've got no beef against AI tools and love the idea of automating away the tedious parts of just about anything, but there's got to be a better solution to this problem. Especially with Microsoft's resources.

I'd say that a fairly debated topic related to transgender people, which isn't just transphobes attacking people trying to live their own life, is the presence of transgender athletes in competitions. Some will take it as a personal attack whether you take a side or sit on the fence. I'm not looking to start that conversation here, but yeah. It's definitely possible to hold a polite conversation about this while disagreeing on parts of the question. In a healthy space.
