Hi, I’m Miss Brainfart.

I’m afraid of sharks, with the exception being blåhaj. What could that possibly mean, huh.
(That’s not a hint, I genuinely have no idea)

Lemmings can also find me @miss_brainfart:catgirl.cloud on Matrix, if they desire to do so for e2ee reasons

  • First I used Proton GE 8-25, then 8-27, but it didn’t make a difference.

    However, I’ve moved the game to my Windows drive in the meantime, and it runs flawlessly there. Which means the problem is not the game itself, so maybe Wine/Proton will be able to fix these issues some day.

    (The Spacers Choice Edition Epic gave away some time ago is also fully DRM-free btw. You can run it directly from the executable, no launcher or authentication required. In fact, I’ve found that many of those Epic freebies I got over the last few years are DRM-free. I’m basically a legal, official pirate at that point.)

    I’m starting to wonder, what will YouTube do once it stops being remotely sustainable to run?

    Is more efficient video compression being developed faster than people are uploading content?

    Like, at some point, they might just run out of space and will have to purge millions of videos.

    Many games might actually be DRM free without you realizing. Look them up on PC Gaming Wiki, and maybe you’ll like what you see.

    With some games it’s as simple as launching them directly from the executable to circumvent annoying launchers and accounts.

    Something most people probably don’t even think of doing anymore, and why would they. But it never hurts to try.




  • Well, yes. Which is why I mentioned the Spacers Choice edition.

    It doesn’t seem to have the same specific issues on Windows though, apart from generally performng worse than anyone would expect it to.

    So I reckon I’ll just try and see for myself if that’s true. Because the problems many Linux users (me included) seem to have according to ProtonDB make the game borderline unplayable.

    Sometimes not even borderline.
