I see that now. I’m not browsing piracy only so half the posts I see are general Linux gaming questions along the lines of yours.

Install Heroic.

Log into your gog account in Heroic.

In the Heroic wine manager, check that GE-proton is installed.

Install Stellaris. By default it should install any DLC you have too.

Like no longer thinking Bio Dome is comedy genius

If your collection is in GOG or itch.io, yes you can do that. But I don’t think there’s a good practical way to do it with Steam games.

Jc141 does compress games in a wine wrapper for ready use on Linux using dwarFS. I could see those working for this is it’s a steam only release. So if you put in the work yourself to do something similar then maybe so. I think must be including Goldberg emulator or something in there to keep them running without steam.

I can’t say this is your problem, but when I’ve had similar issues with the install getting stuck, it was a corrupted file and redownloading solved it.

Sex workers deserve to get paid. But there are plenty of people offering free porn out there, and those sites aren’t hard to find.

I always find the sentiment of “no updates, no downloads” to be not quite right in the context.

The chameleon likely would’ve been more at home with Indie/retro-inspired games. The games that have mastered the concept of ongoing updates without punishing the consumer.

Terraria and Stardew Valley in a state of constant evolution, still getting better 10 years, 15 years after their release.

Dead Cells, Dredge, Vampire Survivors, Binding of Isaac, Grim Dawn, No Man’s Sky, Brotato, any number of other indie games that have lived on for years due either massive or incremental updates.

The solution works for the AAA games problem. “The game should be playable and feature complete at launch”. For these games, the DLC is often just cash grabs, looking for reasons to milk customers. The “gold release” state not being updated later requires the multi billion dollar studios to finish, polish and deliver.

But these are not the kind of games the chameleon would have been able to play, its wheelhouse would have been the indie games that started out as fun games and became something a hundred times more over time.

Yeah, it’s a satire site that got big in punk rock circles some years ago making fun of the Punk and Hardcore scene.

I didn’t know it was still going.

Edit: there it is! https://thehardtimes.net/about/

I got a humble bundle full of Star Wars books/magazines the other week. I haven’t bought a humble bundle in a few years so I didn’t realise I was actually buying Kobo estore licenses for them.

I’ve now spent a week trying to strip the Adobe drm using calibre, with no luck. I either get an error message from calibre or the output still has drm on it.

BD-live was a thing going way back then. BD players had network connectivity because stuff like that was a selling point.

But it seems like you’re adjusting the question to be more “do BD players REQUIRE internet connections”. No probably not.

And off track, for some people the primary function of the PS3 might have been to play movies. BD players were several thousand dollars, a ps3 was like $700-800. There was definitely chatter along the lines of it being a Sony product would be best in class for BD playback as well.

When I first started dating my partner I asked why she had a PS2 with no games. She said it was her mum’s that she just uses for dvd.

PS3 was one of the first affordable blu ray players right off the bat with internet connectivity

It’s not the most durable, but when I think hardwood and antique I think shellac.

Yes, it should have been in the collection instead of the snes remake.

It’s too late for you… But anyone else wanting to play it, just start with the pc engine version. It’s easy to find a CHD with the translation patch already applied. PC Engine will easily emulate on any device.

I only really collect the ones that look like they’ll burn, so I can’t really say.

Fire starters. We collect them all from our property ahead of winter too help with starting the fire.

That’s the other issue. It’s impractical to always use Arch.

My main use case for pirated games is steam deck or a Bazzite based machine. Trying to get dwarfs on these systems is a pain I’m not willing to struggle through. Not when I can load up a fitgirl repack in a Bottle and have it installed 5 minutes later.

Even on my workstation, which is arch, I can get another repack going easily without needing to install dwarfs from the aur.

JC’s repacks might be good, but they’re a hassle that requires a new workflow to setup.

I’ve never had one single game working from JC.

On the other hand, almost any fitgirl or dodi release works just fine, or at least as well as I’d expect from the steam release.

When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.

Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.

I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?

What kind of bit do you use to drill?

Multi-tasking should rightly be called “context switching”. Your brain is alternating its focus between two things in extremely quick succession.
