I realized the other day that eastern european apocalyptic imagery and Stalker-inspired stuff has become so prevalent that I've actually kind of cooled on it. Which is a part of my personality that I really don't enjoy -_-

I don't want to turn into one of those guys, but I do have to say that there's been an immense psychological benefit to starting up my computer and having it just quietly boot to a clean digital work area without a dozen windows popping up and services starting.

Ok so it sounds like I probably won't tackle this for my smaller games right now, since afaik they all work well on Proton and I don't really know enough to adequately support them at the moment.
If a game runs well on Proton, is there a purpose in having a native Linux version?

Linux experience so far has been a mix of either "this thing works better and faster and more elegantly than Windows" or "this thing took me an hour of googling to get working" with very little in-between.

I was experimenting with per-level color grading options for B.U.G.B.I.T.E. Tinting this extreme would probably only be in a few select levels to create specific vibes. That said, I won't be happy unless I piss off at least one person for "bringing back piss filters"

I haven't really messed with internet radio stations until now. I can listen to radio dramas from the 50s!

Now that I'm using Godot and am migrating to Linux I might as well just switch wholesale to open source tools while I'm at it. I think the one big remaining thing is that I use Studio One for composing and occasional sound work, so lemme know if there are alternatives worth checking out

The old Half-Life 2 mod Zombie Panic! Source has released their Halloween Update few days ago! In their dev blog, they talk about their plans to move to TF2SDK engine-branch, with lots of quality-of-life changes and fixes in the latest patch.

So far so good. Got it installed on a separate drive and I have most of my essential work software running (aside from StudioOne which I feel like is going to be a nightmare and might just have to stay on Windows)
