@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Yeah I have that enabled. But Steam Play is only for Steam games afaik. Non-Steam games are but a mere shortcut to Steam, and getting them to use Proton is a pain hence using Lutris there. And you cannot link a Steam and non-Steam ESO account either, so simply installing it from Steam doesn't work either unless I want to loose 15 years of progress.

Which might be good. The reason I have a Zenimax account for it rather than using my Steam one is because historically, the Steam client has been offline more often than the Zenimax one. Things like Crowns and ESO+ have also been easier to get with sales, although that kinda ended ages ago when physical sales of those stopped.

But indeed, who knows. I don't think Zenimax will be likely to say much about it. Well. I'll test tonight 👍.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I tried with a DS4 controller on Manjaro back then. But since it was a few years, I'm eager to try again.

Dunno if the controls itself changed over time, but eager to try. And who knows, maybe if they didn't change, I did. Seems like a good moment to retry again regardless.

Do hope these extra Steam Deck compatibility changes don't only work with Proton but are made on the side of ESOs code. I have the Zenimax launcher version and it's running in a regular Wine prefix setup with Lutris. Which overall works quite well. Since it came with update 50 I'd expect it's indeed a ESO code update and not a Proton update, but there's always a chance they got in contact with Valve or pushed some changes to them in the process of update 50 I guess.

Oh cool. I once tested controller support years ago but it felt horrid back then so I stuck with mouse & keyboard. I mean, tbf every MMO either didn't work or the controlls where horendous and ESO was better than most. But it still wasn't a nice experience compared to M&K.

Nowadays I rarely feel like taking my mouse and keyboard out to play games, meaning I rarely play ESO despite it being installed on my Deck. But this sounds promising! Perhaps it's time to give it another go with a controller 😏.

I mean, I never said need. I said could. It wasn't excluding other possible tactics 🤪.

But it'll be harder to convince a store clerk of the logic again. Unless you go by 2 different locations so they don't realise it 🤔. And I wish you good luck eating 2 of those on your own. They look small but are so fatty they'll fill you like crazy. I can't eat 2 whole ones for sure 🤣🤣🤣.

Note so self, be very careful to begin discussions on language.

Most of my country still thinks the "Duitse bloed" in out anthem refers to Germany as we know it today, but explaining that it comes from "Duytsch" (and in fact is written as such in the original lyrics) which includes The Netherlands results in people still "correcting" about it 2 days later. Corrections which are almost all of them entirely in line with what I said, but add some context or focus on a different detail 🥲.

And no, they're not meant as additions as they literally start with "you are wrong". I think at this point I'm just gonna step out of the conversation and hope notifications stop soon as the comment section it was on has no mute button 😑.

"tek-ekspert" vind ik stiekem wel een fantastische schrijfwijze voor "tech-expert" als leenwoord. Kunnen we dit in Nederland ook gaan doen 😃?

#LOL

At #Dominos #Pizza. Just got the 50% off Sunday deal on a half/half consisting of 2 flavours that are excluded because apperantly 50/50 pizzas do count. Can't order that with excludes flavours online tho, it only works in-store. My guess is Dominos knows but employees are paid too little to care.

Reminds me of my student life hack of rigourously altering a pre-made pizza for sale. Pre-made options are often cheaper than the same pizza made custom, but each ingredient removed can be replaced for something else of the same value using the full custom-pizza value.

Gothic I Remake actually released. After over 1,5 year in "coming soon" without a date I was starting to loose hope 🤣.

Awesome :blobcataww:!

Lately, it's been great for single player RPG lovers. After years of neglect in favour for live service and competitive games, we seem to be getting back to having some love for these genres the past few years. And I'm all here for it!
