Read the article? “NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Solar Orbiter, when they coincidentally lined up to observe the same solar wind stream…” They both happened to capture data about the same event, which allowed them to combine the information to get better data. It’s not weird that they collaborated, but it was unexpected that these two missions did in this case.

No, it’s a comic.

Ah, flatpak. That might be the difference.

Steam Families is not just used by families.

I’ve been on it for a while (on Garuda) and it’s been stable. I don’t recall any issues. Maybe I just got lucky.

I think it’s a great rule. If you’re sharing your library with others, don’t be am asshole and cheat. If you do you’ll be a disappointment to them too. More social pressure to not cheat is only a positive in my opinion, but also I will never cheat and I only share my library with people I’m confident won’t cheat as well. I don’t associate with people who want to ruin other’s fun. If you do then that’s on you. It’s your choice to risk getting banned.

Yeah, I’ve had it for years and never got super far (well beyond the beginning, but not to the really late stuff). It never clicked for me like Factorio has. Satisfactory is a factory game, but I’d say the biggest thing is it’s an architecture game first. The factory is the reason to build cool buildings, but building is the primary focus of the game. If you don’t like that then you won’t enjoy it probably.

I can definitely see the appeal of the game, and I’ve gotten enjoyment out of it. The biggest hurdle for me personally is how long it takes to make things. In Factorio even early game I can plop down stuff from the overhead view very quickly and get something running. Then once you have bots you can just set down a blueprint and it’ll be done in a few seconds. Satisfactory you can’t do this. Even the blueprints are pretty small and can’t have connections automatically link between them, so it’ll always be slower. I just wish the process of building was streamlined, because I love factory games and I like the concept of the game. I just can’t actually enjoy playing it for long.

Using a different version of WINE/Proton could work. It may also depend on some extra utilities you need to install on your WINE prefix (Wine tricks is the tool to use for this). If that doesn’t work, the almost guaranteed to work option is a virtual machine running Windows. This comes with a small performance hit, but that may not be a concern.

The first thing I’ll say is the reason you’re more comfortable with Windows is because you’ve been using it for however long and learning to deal with the issues it has. The same needs to be done on Linux. You’ll have to learn how it works just like you forgot you did for Windows.

Second, along with logs like other users said, you have to know how to use a search engine well. Most issues will be easy to solve, but some may take some searching. The Arch wiki is a good resource even if you aren’t using Arch.

For me, I’m more concerned about getting bacteria into the highly nutritious PB. If you’re only eating one spoonful then fine. I wouldn’t stick a spoon that’s been in my mouth back into the container though. I have done this “meal” though, but I scoop how much I want into a bowl first. Maybe drizzle some honey or something onto it.

Probably not. I assume it registers it as different systems and blocks after too many.

I for sure play HL cracked days after release. I haven’t touched the others though.

I really liked 5, but I never got 6 and don’t plan on getting 7. Honestly, I’m not into what they offer anymore. There’s other civ-likes out there now, and there’s other genres I’d rather play anyway. I was watching civ 7 with some interest still, but for sure not with this.

Yeah, you won’t. Best you can do is complain, but they won’t listen. It’s similar to if the game went offline. You are not promised a refund for that.

It sounds like they’re using Anti-Cheat Expert, which is some Chinese AC. It doesn’t support Linux and there isn’t an existing wine module to support it, like there is for Battle Eye and EAC. So no, it won’t work at least for the moment.

Yeah, the “diversity” (aliens and shit, really? You want to tell me they’re targeting the “diversity” crowd with non-humans?) is not the reason for this failing. It’s a generic $40 live-service game. That market is far too over saturated. Plenty of people like and buy games with diversity, although they have to be good games first and foremost. It’s just a way to help your game appeal to a larger audience, but it has to appeal to anyone first. This doesn’t.

Yeah, it looks like EA’s launcher/anti-cheat explicitly do not allow wine. Oh well. EA hasn’t published an interesting game in many years.

I don’t think so. This is from three years ago. https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

All? It’s just Riot, right? I haven’t had issues playing anything else, but I also don’t play most AAA games so idk. What other companies are doing it?

Maybe. It’s unlikely except for multiplayer, and even then pretty rare. The Riot games won’t work because of the rootkit, but nearly everything else has. Protondb.com if you want to check or ever need help getting something to run.
