  • Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles … but with the caveats that a) it’s only PARTLY like stardew/portia/harvestmoon and b) For the life of me I can’t remember if the game had money or not.

    The game is partly farm-life-sim, but the other part is “zelda-like” adventuring and getting rid of “dark smoke thing” that does bad things to the world.








  • Yep. Apparently outlook does this and afaik because some kind of link sniffing/scam detection/whatever, but it does it by changing the first characters of each query argument around.

    We spent amazingly long time figuring that one out. “Who the hell has gotten Microsoft service querying our app with malformed query args and why”



  • Running Galaxy with proton-ge. Sure, it doesn’t install linux versions of games or anything, but it works.

    Basically what I did was:

    • run arch btw, obviously and loaded with sarcasm, as always
    • install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proton-ge-custom-bin
    • aquired galaxy installer (GOG’s site hides download links on linux… why???)
    • proton gog-galaxy-installer.exe to install. It installs to ~/.local/share/proton-pfx/0/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/GOG Galaxy (or somesuch)
    • I made a shortcut to launch the galaxy.exe with proton from the directory & using the directory as working directory
    • profit.

    Seems to work fine, some older version of proton-ge and/or nvidia driver under wayland made the client bit sluggish, but that has fixed itself. Games like Cyberpunk work fine. The galaxy overlay doesn’t, though.










  • only played the unity-version, it’s cool but “old school brutal” in difficulty. I guess there are some cheese tactics/methods you can use to overcome it, but a casual/blind approach has a steep learning curve.

    The tutorial alone took some effort to survive, got to some town later on, got some quest to go into a dungeon, which continued to be deadly.

    I do like older games, but I can’t help but to feel I’m lacking some nostalgiagoggles for this one, even if the game is from “when I was a kid”
