Nope, it’s an optional module of Steamworks. (And using Steamworks at all is also optional.)

Well shit, I’ve been launching Epic through Lutris. Guess it’s time for me to check out Heroic.

It’s funny, I frequently find myself configuring native Linux games I legitimately own to instead run the windows version through Proton.

…I’m sorry that that’s pretty much the exact opposite of an answer to your question.

Don’t dumb down the gameplay systems

Bethesda design challenge: impossible.

In fact Diyonisius Exiguus made some errors when counting back to establish the anno Domini date system and as such Jesus would likely have been born between 4 and 8 BC.

There’s a board game called History of the World that does something like this, where score is tracked per player, but you play as a new civilization every turn. (And, depending on the draw, may wind up fighting against your previous civ.)

It’s a good game, but, yeah, it’s hard to imagine that working in something like Civilization.

The iron content in beaver teeth is concentrated at the front surface so that they are self-sharpening as they wear down.

As a staunch soupist, I’m afraid I can’t support him.

Also I’m neither conservative nor British.

It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they’d pop up regularly during the winter sale.

But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is “will I play it right now?”

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of hard drives speeding down the highway.

I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.

Never ask:

• A woman her age.

• A man his salary.

• Odo what he did during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor.

“Bastard” maybe?

In the future Star Trek wants us to imagine a black female officer is completely unremarkable.

Interestingly, in the unaired TOS pilot Pike did in fact remark on a female officer (albeit Una rather than Uhura), saying he “can’t get used to having a woman on the bridge”.

Of course, being unaired, the episode’s canonicity was pretty questionable. Until SNW used the exact clip of him saying that as archive footage.

(n.b. None of this is intended to negate the point you’re making. It’s just a strange little thing that could have been brushed aside as an artifact of the show not quite having figured out what it was yet, had not modern Trek gone and affirmed it.)

I’ve had it happen with tap water.

But I used to live in a place where the tap water had ridiculously low mineral content, so ymmv.

The original Battlestar Galactica.

We have the best moose in the world. Because of jail.

how do you think they hunted bears?

I’m a little surprised by the crossbows. My guess would have been rifles.

bottle of electricity

They’re called Leyden jars.

The Epic games launcher is total trash full stop.
