So my #proton builds are still failing, but in the meantime someone else has posted theirs...

I've tested it locally, and with a few config tweaks in-game, I now have pretty good performance in DX11 Path of Exile. Yay!

"Did you kill me because I am evil?" the man asked.
"You are not evil," said the unicorn."Oh. Good."
"Nobody is evil. Nobody is good." The unicorn shook the blood off its horn. "It is not being, it is doing. You? You chose to do evil."

@WelshPixie I'd argue talent is merely the short name for "lots and lots of practice"... But either way, you're good!

This is a scan of an A3 piece (297 x 420 mm) I drew a while back. Open it in a new tab to see the full detail. It too Many Hours (TM). (Around 25 I think?)
Used a variety of technical pens (like Copic multiliners), a refillable technical pen with white ink for the stars (an Aristo MK1 pen), and Prismacolor Premiere pencils for the gemstones.

@WelshPixie glorious! So much talent ;)

Failed, looks like it can't find winegcc. It's definitely in the host environment so I assume it's the chroot that's missing it.
Day out with family today, so more trials tonight. Progress!

@codesections @tek pretty much daily, actually.
I once worked for a terrible company that spend *hundreds per person* on the Christmas event. Lots of people loved it, but I pointed out that I'd rather the other 364 days didn't suck quite so much instead.
These days I get to live that reality - but with no other colleagues even in the same country, I do miss the occasional social outing ;)

@HerraBRE oh my, I hear you. It's 3am, I've been up hours recompiling #proton and my kids will be up in 4 hours...

@tek times when being a remote employee sucks... ;)

@mike ooh good to know, Grim Dawn has been on my wishlist for *ages*

Alright, fixed the environment issues and left the #proton build running overnight. Hope it works, we'll see tomorrow ;)

I’ll never forgive the internet for training a generation of artists and writers to call what they make “content.”
Boxes have contents. You’re a fucking ARTIST. You make ART. Own it.

Something that was pointed out to me just a few days ago is that critical thinking is *portable*, in that it can be applied to domains that you don't have any/much knowledge in to determine whether or not the data/source are worth trusting.
This is surprisingly effective as a noise filter for the majority of information that is propagated along social network lines (as well as legacy media).
So I figure this is a good place to start :)

@asovereignscot ah, I feel you, I was there not so long ago. I took the graveyard shift, let my partner get some sleep, and curated a list of games you can play with one hand (either mouse only, or turn based). Baby slept on the other arm ;D
Sadly, PoE is definitely not on that list :)

@asovereignscot if you're a frequent PoE player we should hook up for Delve... :)

@codesections indeed, I do it daily :)

Round one of building #Proton failed due to me not understanding *which* directories get bind-mounted into the build schroots, leading to missing tools at build-time.
Round 2 will begin shortly, with a better chance of success ;)

Be right back... I have a lot of old Steam games that I can suddenly complete achievements for ... first up, Creeper World 1 ...

Just while Proton is building, you understand :)

With Steam Play and Proton all over the interwebs today I should be clear about something. I will use it to play Windows games I already have, and any that I pick up in bundles, I may even buy the odd older game for nostalgia; but game developers who offer proper native ports will be the ones I support first and foremost, they went to the effort of creating native games and so are most deserving of my hard earned money

New Debian VM up, Steam Runtime chroots are building... Let's see how this Proton stuff is put together, hey?
