Yeah, you're not wrong that the article kinda sets itself up for the "lookit our recommended VPNs" pitch.
There's no way Microsoft would purposefully disable VPNs from working. I can guarantee that they require VPNs for thousands of roles in the company, let alone breaking it for government agencies that require VPNs, etc.
It is good to know that a specific update can break something ahead of time, though. Then at least you can avoid it.
Lol, pretty sure they meant Obsidian.
A bit of a revival after nearly 2 years, with a whole bunch of upgrades, tweaks, new content, controller support, achievements and quality-of-life changes

Angels Fall First is a combined-arms, sci-fi wargame that first released in 2015. After 2 years, the small team behind the game has released Update 29 containing a huge amount of additions, improvements, balance tweaks, and a butt-ton more. They admit that this is a massive update, and there are likely bugs and tweaks that still need to happen, and Update 30 is planned, alongside the game's 1.0 release from Early Access.
Here's the Steam store page description:
> From commanding the battle standing on the bridge of your flagship all the way down to tactical infantry firefights - AFF brings together all the combat you ever wanted in a rich science fiction setting. Boarding, pilotable capital ships, deep weapon customization and full AI support included! ... AFF focuses on team-oriented tactical gameplay and objective-based scenarios with a high degree of replayability....
I've been playing it for a while, on-and-off for the past few years. It's honestly a super fun game and I recommend it if you're into games like Tie Fighter/X-Wing, Battlefield, and Star Wars Battlefront/Battlefront 2!
The community's remained rather small and the devs know most people play against the bots, so they've improved the AI a ton. I'd personally love to get a crew together to play, so if anyone else is interested, maybe we can schedule an event or something?
I've been watching some streams of it and Chrono Trigger was absolutely what came to mind for me. The art is gorgeous and the music is awesome too. Game's got good vibes for sure.
I've got all of these League spinoff games wishlisted, they look great. I've always liked League of Legends' presentation and after the show became even more interested in the lore.
Does anyone have experience with them? Is there one in particular that stands above the others? I know they're relatively varied in their genres so it's rather subjective to say.
Hell yeah! I really enjoyed the game, but the lack of variety just had it kinda fizzle out for me after a short time. This is awesome.
I had one, but I traded up for a Flash Speeder as soon as I could afford it, even if it was older.
10-keyless keyboards are (kinda unfortunately IMO) popular with the custom keyboard crowd. I'm actually a little surprised that it's not available in an even smaller form-factor.
His miss, Ms. Take, made a mistake with a missed take when mistaking a steak for a stake.
This game is amazing. One of my first obsessions, I used to just play it to explore the environments and listen to the music in the different areas.
There are configuration files for dnf in /etc/dnf/protected.d that might have gnome-shell listed. Check that directory for a file called gnome-shell.conf. If there is, you can simply rm it and try removing gnome-shell again.
Be aware that there might be packages you have installed that depend on gnome-shell, so be sure to double check the list of dependent packages that will also be removed.
I've had this situation as well with a couple of games. Total War Warhammer 3 can't be played online (or it's not cross-platform, which would be weird) and XCOM 2 didn't handle modding all that well using the native client.
There are a few other games I've attempted but I can't remember all of them.
Graveyard Keeper has a native client but it can't use hardware driven cursors and its display resolution gets out of whack (on ultrawide, admittedly). The game doesn't have native ultrawide support, to be fair, but the scaling at least works correctly using Proton.
Loop Hero has a native Linux version and it works perfectly.
Oh yeah, speaking of Zachtronics, Last Call BBS is native and also works flawlessly.

The versions of games compiled for Linux work about... hmmm... maybe in a 60:40 split? Oftentimes I do find myself almost immediately switching the game's compatibility mode to use Proton on Steam if I have any issues.
-
I think both Proton and Wine receiving much, much more developer support lately is going to be a net good, longterm. Many developers don't have the "cognitive capacity" or time to dedicate to creating a version that runs on Linux without a compatibility layer. That's especially true for those using game engines that typically have poor support and tooling for Linux in the first place.
This is just a thought, maybe the effort being expended upon Proton/Wine will ultimately lead to solutions for compatibility issues that work without the use of "emulating" (for lack of a better work off the toppa my head) the whole Windows experience, replacing DLLs and whatnot.
- I'm more okay with indie devs just relying on Proton, for sure. I don't give a "pass" to large studios that don't at least expend some effort to get the game to build and run on Linux without the use of Proton or other compatibility tools. With that said, I also understand that AAA projects have many hundreds, possibly a thousand people or more, having some part in the development process. It's not reasonable to assume that every person working on the game can have knowledge of or maintain that every aspect of their work is compatible with both Windows and Linux.
I prolly have more to day but my thumbs are tired lol.
That sounds about right, haha! I've done the same, and then found myself in the attic trying to draw more Ethernet.
Yeah dude! Like a Dragon is $15 USD on Steam right now. I couldn't say no, even though I haven't finished Yakuza 0 yet.
I've heard what you've said so many times, that the games are just awesome. I've even heard a rumor that some actual Yakuza like them haha
