I have Easy Effects with Advanced Auto Gain from https://github.com/JackHack96/EasyEffects-Presets running on my laptop. It’s been great in that regard.

Not too loud. Don’t want the suits to find out.

That’s because every time you run a new program with Proton on Steam it creates a new Wine-prefix (fake Windows drive). So when you run the installed battlenet.exe it creates a new Windows environment where Battle.net is not installed.

But the installer is using the environment where Battle.net is installed and apparently it has a function to run Battle.net when it detects that it’s already installed.

Oh my, haven’t played Fallout Shelter in ages. I think I played until I hit the “pay or take ages” stage. I guess they removed that by now?

A mouse? For shooters?!?

I definitely still played Quake with keyboard only and having it automatically look up or down on ramps.

I think during playing Jedi Knight I started using the mouse and having the revolutionary idea of using the numpad for movement and the surrounding keys for important Force powers. Because that was so much better than using the arrow keys.

No idea when I switched to WASD.

Wow, really strange. On my instance it shows millions and edited 10 seconds after it was posted. Maybe something wrong with the federation.

You wrote million instead of billion.

*5 billion

If you don’t want to go the Heroic route (you really should go the Heroic route) you can

1. download the offline installer from GoG
2. add the installer as a none-Steam-game to Steam
3. select Proton for compatibility
4. run the installer
5. add the installed game’s exe to Steam as a none-Steam-game
6. select Proton for compatibility

Trouble with that method is that Steam always creates a new Wine prefix (a kind of fake Windows drive) every time you run a new none-Steam-game with Proton. They can pile up and take unnecessary space away. It also makes it harder to install dependencies or mods or add ons.

So yeah, Heroic is the way.

In my mind when I see MySQL somewhere it actually means MariaDB. It’s also the default in Debian. Probably in other distributions as well. Or maybe Percona.

After almost going mad trying to repair my daughter’s phone I ordered a FP 4.

I don’t think Lutris is meant to pass on command line arguments. I’d rather use just Wine without anything else.

Doesn’t Adobe provide a Linux build of Acrobat anymore? I’m pretty sure they used to do that.

Damn you must have an enormous water bill.

My uneducated guess is that someone put the rope on the barrel by hand and twisted it in the process.

Something something Bell’s Theorem. I don’t really understand it but that one was supposed to be counterevidence to hidden variables.

I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Current Blizzard wouldn’t have cancelled Ghost.

If you want to be taken more seriously you should dial back on the excessive punctuation and dial up proper capitalisation. You don’t need to have perfect grammar but putting the effort in makes your posts easier to read.
