saddlebag , in God of War Ragnarok will require a PSN account

There’s a fair amount of sailor talk around here. Any captains manage to get their booty to run on Linux? I tried ff7 remake to no avail

Of course! If it has an installer, run it through Bottles first.

  • Mount the ISO file in KDE/GNOME
  • Create a new bottle in Bottles
  • Open the bottle and select the executable on the mounted ISO to start
  • When choosing an install directory, install to the Z: drive if possible so you don’t have to look for the files in your Bottles prefix
  • Follow the installer normally

Once done, you can either start the game directly in Bottles or create a non-Steam shortcut in Steam and select the exe of the game you just installed.

I prefer running it through Steam because then I always have access to the latest Proton versions.

Didn’t try FF7 but played Alan Wake 2 like this.

I’ve also noticed that for some repacks it is better to use a different runner to install and then switch to a gaming runner for running the game.

Sunny ,
Aphelion , in The Rogue Prince of Persia devs clarify that a Ubisoft Connect account will not be mandatory even after early access. Anybody believes that ubisoft won't do it?

Why would Ubisoft change their tune now when every single game in their entire IP catalog requires an Ubisoft account? I don’t believe this for a second.

GardenVarietyAnxiety , in Sony does not remove purchase restrictions from Helldivers 2 on steam and also adds them to Ghost of Tsushima

Out of the loop, but still curious… Is this due to the PSN login stuff?

Veritrax ,

Yes, Sony started enforcing a requirement to link a PSN account in order to be able to keep playing Helldivers 2. This was months after launch, after being sold in dozens of countries where people can’t make PSN accounts. Sony responded by just delisting Helldivers 2 from those countries. Looks like they’re doing the same thing with Ghosts of Tsushima and delisting it from countries that can’t make PSN accounts.

GardenVarietyAnxiety ,

So they stepped back the login requirement with the whole “We heard your feedback, Gamerz!” line, but are clearly getting things set up to just do it later anyway?

Wow.

Krakaval ,

Typical “We are sorry you feel that way” bs.

I perceived it as: “We heard your feedback, as such we fired the community manager, and will hire a new one who will be capable of keeping the community quiet”

muhyb ,

Yup, they made it optional for Helldivers 2 but made it mandatory for Ghost of Tsushima. And future PS releases as well.

GardenVarietyAnxiety ,

That’s a shitty move. I really hope it backfires.

ramble81 ,

Optional for HD2 but the fact that they restricted the countries most likely means they’ll try it again.

Stern , (edited )
@Stern@lemmy.world avatar

More particularly its mandatory if folks want to use multiplayer. Since thats all HD2 is that effectively bricks the game outside psn countries. In Ghosts case, its single player, which doesn’t require it, (per their devs), but does have multiplayer elements which would require it if you use them.

Draedron , in Helldivers 2 reviews start to improve after Sony backs down from enforcing PSN account linking

Too bad with how the devs lied and told me people who complained to leave. They only acted like the are on the side of the players after the shit storm got too big. My bad review stays

They used their customers to fight their publisher. It worked out this time. Good on them, if you ask me. Game studios get messed about far too often.

FraidyBear , in More games should do this

I have played many games similar to this one, and I hate to admit this, but I think I’m too stupid for CK3. I just don’t know enough about English royalty/gentry shit to keep up.

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I always assumed from videos I’ve watched that the point of the game is to either manage shit around Europe/Asia or fuck around as a noble of Bumfucknowhere, denouncing the pope, spying on your spouse, sending your entire court to jail, all for shits and giggles.

NoIWontPickAName ,

I want a battle sim version of ck3.

Like Digital Risk but with terrain and type advantages right down to being able to control different active battlefields as the general or maybe even squad formation level if you wanted.

The background can be all the complicated incest avoidance/embracing.

Basically the opposite of ck3.

I still want the option to make allies or trade treaties, just maybe let me hand it off to the cpu if I want

bob_lemon ,

You just described the Total War series

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Yep, @NoIWontPickAName could look into Medieval 2 Total War for the combat where terrain, morale and troop fatigue matters, though it’s sorely lacking in the incest department and internal political intrigue.

NoIWontPickAName ,

Alas, incest simulator three will just have to wait

Demoncracy , in Tim Sweeney emailed Gabe Newell calling Valve 'you assholes' over Steam policies, to which Valve's COO replied internally 'you mad bro?'
@Demoncracy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I do wish Steam changed their pricing policy tbh. Make it so you pay smaller % for X amount of purchases, then a higher % on purchases after that and then a yet higher % on purchases after that amount with amounts set to give better terms to small indie game makers, then be less harsh on mid size devs and then get the most operational money out of big games.

    five82 , in SteamOS on non Steamdeck hardware
    @five82@lemmy.world avatar

    I would recommend Bazzite. It’s based off of Fedora Silverblue and it’s what I currently use. Very stable compared to the others that I’ve tried. Choose “Bazzite Deck” when you install if you want it to boot directly into Steam game mode.

    There’s also ChimeraOS and Nobara Deck edition.

    MajorHavoc , in Capcom appears to have added DRM Enigma to more of their games on Steam

    I was considering picking up Stadium and Standium 2 on my SteamDeck, having already bought them on Switch.

    But it turns out I have other convenient DRM free options to play my purchased Capcom games on my SteamDeck. I make it a point not to send money in support of DRM bullshit.

    schmidtster , in Steam breaks another annual record, launching more than 14,000 games in 2023

    Kind of a useless stat when there’s very few rules to what the “public” can launch on your ecosystem.

    Be different if they were curating and publishing each themselves.

    I can’t check right now but curious how this compares to titles on the Play store.

    schmidtster ,

    A quick google says they release upwards of 90k titles a month for Android apps.

    UnverifiedAPK , in New Steam Beta update allows you to purchase games privately

    Tbh this is even useful for things other than NSFW games. I don’t need a Steam popup for Wallpaper Engine every time you turn on your computer.

    off_brand_ ,

    Yup. And other software like blender that’s also on steam, or vtuber studio. Like I’m not trying to hide my activity but I don’t need a steam message from someone every time you open a solo-use software.

    westyvw , in Steam has a moderation issue

    First: fuck racism and trolls.

    Second: it’s the internet, quit feeding the trolls. Why bother reporting them? They suck, they are going to do it again. Ignore and move on. Internet 101.

    Third: profile page? I have looked at that maybe a dozen times in the last 19 years. I really don’t care about it. However: I did review my settings and I do keep mine locked down.

    I despise these idiots that are looking for attention. They have been around since the old bbs days and they are not going away. We simply ignore them, block them, and take away what they are asking for: attention.

    Kuori ,
    @Kuori@hexbear.net avatar

    this is an extremely individualized approach that leaves bigots free to spread their filth everywhere, making normal people (particularly marginalized ones) uncomfortable and at worst forcing them out of the space entirely.

    bigotry should be opposed at all times in every conceivable way. unfortunately we can’t do violence to shitheads on the internet, so silencing them is the next best thing

    westyvw ,

    First rule of the internet: everyone is a liar. Therefore nothing anyone says matters. I hate bigotry too, but there is a good chance this is just the leverage a troll is using for attention.

    So, we do the same as we do with all trolls, don’t feed them.

    We also can recognize that there is racism, bigotry, hatred and marginalization. Otherwise they wouldn’t try and leverage it.

    I agree we should denounce it, welcome everyone without expectations, but after being on the net and prior since the 80s, only one thing works: don’t give them the satisfaction or power.

    feminalpanda ,

    That’s very privileged of you. I try to protect the next person by reporting.

    westyvw ,

    Privileged? Wtf? More like been on the internet long enough to not let much bother me.

    It’s a dilemma, if you give them the attention they continue. If you don’t appeal to authority they also will continue.

    I will agree that Valve should stand behind their terms of service though. I just never see it as much of a community because I am only their to buy and play games.

    If this was happening on my servers, my linux group, or my makerspace they would be out on their ass so fast…

    UlyssesT , (edited )

    First rule of the internet: everyone is a liar.

    “It’s the internet” is a failed and ruinous attitude that permits bad people (yes, some people are worse than other people in spite of your thought-terminating platitudes). And for what? To feel smug and superior? smuglord

    Also, false equivalencies that condemn everyone just so you can dismiss individual concerns are old tired shit that should have been retired in the early 2000s.

    Kuori ,
    @Kuori@hexbear.net avatar

    i’m saying i disagree with this approach. people have been preaching “not to feed the trolls” for decades and the internet has only gotten more bigoted and terrible. forcing those people out of any non-nazi space should be priority #1. we do this on hexbear and as a result the site culture there is significantly more welcoming to minorities than just about anywhere else on the internet. i’ve been on the internet for like 25 years now (admittedly not as long as you) and it’s the only site i have ever seen where people bandying about slurs and abusive language are not only not tolerated, but are actively rejected by the community en mass

    it works. if you build it, they will come. if you ban the shitheads, good people will stay. if you don’t, you end up with 4chan.

    Why bother reporting them? They suck, they are going to do it again. Ignore and move on. Internet 101.

    I’d still report them. Worst case the platform is shitty and nothing happens to them, best case they get banned. Definitely block and don’t engage them, for sure.

    Second: it’s the internet, quit feeding the trolls. Why bother reporting them? They suck, they are going to do it again. Ignore and move on. Internet 101.

    That ignorant and failed doctrine is seen as “internet 101” in a way that was such a failure that it lead to the “containment theory” that gradually permitted all of 4chan to become extensions of /pol/ and made it the nazi hive that it is now.

    If you want a game on Steam, you buy it on Steam! How is that so hard for people to grasp?

    WetBeardHairs ,

    Also - if you want to buy something on the internet, use a credit card from a real bank. They’ll refund you for scams.

    But go ahead and complain when you get scammed while using a currency designed to be hard to track.

    gonzoknowsdotcom1 OP ,

    Because steam isn’t always the most affordable, that’s like saying if you want a product. Take AMD for example and it’s 1,000 gpu. Buy it from AMD. Then you see amazon has the same GPU for a discounted rate

    This makes no sense at all. Steam has regional pricing and often times, games do go on sale.

    You sound like a Butter.

    pokkst ,

    Regional pricing, last I checked on the Steamworks dashboard, is usually set by the developer themselves, and doesn’t always mean it’ll be cheaper in other regions. And sales are also set by the developer, even for Summer/Winter sales. The developer can choose to opt out.

    canis_majoris ,
    @canis_majoris@lemmy.ca avatar

    Because this guy is a crypto moron. He’s from monero.town which is a crypto instance. He tried to pay for this with crypto and got scammed, which garners zero sympathy from me, because it’s not real money.

    Oh no! I didn’t pay real money to a provider and they didn’t give me the product! This is a scam!

    He keeps coming to other instances to “review” the ability to pay for things with monero, which is basically just an advert for trying to pump the crypto.

    pokkst ,

    He said his order eventually got fulfilled, and there’s other people, including myself, that have used this site before and received valid keys. They just take a while to process the order sometimes.
