I'm not sure why this is a big deal. We've all had Cthulhu as our Fed Ex delivery guy at one time or another.
Imagine acting like everyone in England has the same accent. The only thing more ridiculous would be saying that everyone in the US does.
Something else to consider is that it's a wonderful social window if you have friends that you don't get to hang out with very often due to geography and life.
I have a couple of good friends who are too far away after I moved to another area. We play games online and have a nice social hangout for a few hours each Saturday. Voice chatting works great.
It's fantastic to be able to regularly spend time with them.

"Excuse me sir... have you heard about our lord and savior, Kahless the warrior king?"
Which is absolutely wild to me, considering that all natively born citizens received their citizenship involuntarily at birth.
This is exactly it. I glance at All on Lemmy for maybe 2% of my time here, primarily to see if I can discover a new community that I didn't previously know about to add to my collection.
But it's true. The real Lemmy experience is in your subscribed communities.
Not a smoker myself, but I can tell you what worked for my brother when he quit in college.
AC went out in his dorm during an August heat wave, and it took forever for them to fix it. He decided that it would be a perfect time to go cold turkey, since he'd be so miserable from the heat that the few days of nicotine withdraw wouldn't really be comparably bad. And he said it was right, he didn't think about it during the worst part, and by the time they fixed the AC, he was 90% of the way through the process.
So if you live in one of the parts of the world moving to summer right now, it might be worth a shot.
Or at 720p, as this is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and running stuff on it at 16:10 will look weird.
...And the King did decree for him to stand atop the seaside cliff, upon the occurrence of any stormy eve, to forewarn the vessels of the kingdom: beware, for the shoals are close at hand." - Chapter 7, The Legend of Lord Glowcrotch
Hmmm. One of his strings stops at the nut and another completely misses the posts, but I'm guessing that's because there are only two tuning pegs for four strings? I'm guessing someone pranked him by giving him that instrument? Must be a pain to tune that.
Yep, precisely why I don't play kernel anticheat games.
Considering 99.9999% of all the games out there don't have it, and I have a selection of games large enough to last a lifetime, I don't lose sleep over that decision.
I use both, they are two separate words, not one word with multiple spellings.
Not sure why people are changing it. Yes, language evolves, but maybe we could all focus on evolving it in areas that actually need evolution?
"Let me figure out which of the seven fingers on this hand I shall place this ring on... just a moment."
I second the recent PlayStation controllers. My friend gave me an extra PS4 controller he had and it's basically a Deck controller minus the back buttons and a track pad. Works fine for most games I play with it, but I'm primarily a M&K guy.
Burgers and orange juice, I can't think of a more iconic combination.

No, you're not imagining things.

My steps, if anyone has to replicate. I'm not sure if everyone will start from here... it's possible that you already have the prerequisite installed from another game. But I'll give my fix path in case anyone starts from the same place I did.
For me, what I saw to start: When running, a brief spin, and then about ten seconds later, a change back to the green play button. Complete no-go.
My fix path went:
-
Started in Desktop mode, for maximum troubleshooting flexibility.
-
Going to Manage > Properties, I changed BG III compatibility option to Proton Experimental.
-
Tried relaunching game... this time, an error returned that I needed to run the game along with Windows Net Desktop runtime (.net 6.0.20).
This error had its own link button, but in case you don't get the link or error, but still want to see if this is your fix, the link took me here for the download.
-
I added that downloaded file as a non-steam game in Steam, set its compatibility to Proton Experimental, then I ran it and installed it. (Note: For stuff like this, leave it in your Steam library after you're done with these steps... if you delete it later, it takes out the file path and it will stop working, and you'll have to do all this all over again.)
-
Every person is going to get a unique directory number created for them in their file structure for this file. Find it by following the path in your file manager (default file manager is Dolphin): /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/
Then sort by "last modified," and the file folder you're looking for will pop to the top (it should say something like "last modified two minutes ago," "last modified just now," or something like that... because you just did this, so you know this is the correct one). Write this number down, it's the unique-to-you location id I was talking about earlier.
Finally, go back to Baldur's Gate III and the Manage > Properties. In the launch options, paste exactly this command, except substitute your unique ID number in place of the string of Xs here:
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXX %command%
(Note: there is a space between your ID number and %command%.)
And if your issue was for missing the Net prerequisite, then this should get it running for you. Have fun!
Asking as I recently subscribed to a community that is fed by a bot which posts pretty frequently.
I subscribed to be able to mark the community to find it when I want to, but it's now dominating my subscribed feed due to volume of posts. If I could keep this one specific community from showing up in the feed, that would be the preferred solution. Thanks!
