Also, I might want to read comments from the post on tildes. It's just nice to know if I'm wasting my time if I click the link to the source.

I really do appreciate when somebody quotes the important parts of articles in comments though, I wish that was done more often.

Comment on Windows: Linux GPU gaming benchmarks on Bazzite in ~games
Nemoder Link ParentMost of the popular anti-cheat systems already have Linux or Proton compatibility, but it requires the game developers to enable it. How effective they are without a locked kernel is as debatable...or come up with another solution fully compatible with Linux
Most of the popular anti-cheat systems already have Linux or Proton compatibility, but it requires the game developers to enable it. How effective they are without a locked kernel is as debatable as how effective kernel-level anti-cheat on windows is anyway.
I've started suggesting to anyone that can't switch because of one or two games with anti-cheat that they just play those titles on xbox or ps5 instead since most of the PC advantages of customizing or modding wont apply to those titles anyway. Not something that goes over well with the PC-only crowd though.

Valve says they are working to help get raytracing up to par on AMD, will be interesting to see how far they can take it.

Comment on What games have you been playing, and what's your opinion on them? in ~games

Maybe start simple with a fully automated farming and wine production then move onto something like war animals, steel weapons or bees. Or play around with the physics by pumping water or magma through several layers to setup flood rooms for invaders. There's also the more zen-like approach of just slowly building up huge structures above ground. You can also play around with the nobles who will give you demands to produce things they want. Then when they demand something you can't possibly produce in time you can introduce them to the previously mentioned flood room.
If you want to focus more on the story side of things and need some inspiration then definitely check out Kruggsmash. His latest Spearcavern series is quite good.
If you get hung-up on the basics then take a look at BlindIRL's tutorial series. The official wiki is also invaluable.

My first fortress got hit by a small army of undead in the first year which wiped out the entire fortress before I had even finished digging through the aquifer.
Rather than reclaim it I started another fortress nearby and managed to dig a moat and get everyone inside before the (now much larger) undead army approached. The moat and wall held them at bay this time and I managed to pick most of them off with marksdwarves to end the siege. Unfortunately a couple of them fell to the bottom of the moat out of bow range and since undead cant drown they remained there and kept scaring off any dwarves working nearby.
I finally came up a with a cartoon inspired plan to run a minecart track to the edge of the moat and fill the cart with anvils. Hilariously it actually worked! The undead goblins got squished to bits, although a couple more dwarves also fell in and drowned in the process. Their engraved slabs shall remain to forever remember the =+FUN+=.

But I don't think it matters too much since it's almost expected given what happens and there's too many other things to discover for it to be a big deal. I'd rather they give that away than have people skip the film entirely for not knowing anything about it.

I really like the idea behind their Auto Train system as a middle ground and I'd love to see that in more places and running as routine as car ferry boats are in my state. -

As that wiki article mentions I can see how people might confuse it with hyperfocus which can be a lot more uncomfortable. -

Just think, WB entire catalog could be put into fully free public domain if we just got every person on the planet to chip in at least $12.50. Who wants to start the kickstarter for it?
