This is rather disappointing. The game looks really good and I’ve been looking forward to playing it. But I meant to play the game in co-op with my husband and when it launched in early access it didn’t seem to have co-op yet (if I remember correctly) so I decided to wait until that was added (and working of course). But after hearing this news I’m a bit wary of buying a game that I’m not sure they’ll even finish. That’s such a shame because the game really looks amazing and super fun to play in co-op.

(What’s the state of the game right now? Have they added co-op yet and how is the game so far?)

That actually does sound fun!

How is Avowed? Is it good? I loved the Fable games.

There is a mod that allows for unlimited saving without the need to use Saviour Schnapps to save. When the game was first release the only way to save was by sleeping in certain beds, after quest progress and by manually saving using Saviour Schapps. They later added a quit and save option which I think should’ve been in the game since the beginning. Because back then I’d often lose progress when I didn’t have Saviour Schnapps or the ingredients to make them, and I didn’t have a bed nearby. So that kind of ruined the experience for me. With the Unlimited Saves mod, though, you can save anytime you want just like in other games.

Gear doesn’t break that often, and you can buy repair kits that have X uses and you can use those to repair your gear anytime. :)

I can’t see what’s on the screen with shaky camerawork like this. :)

You may need to install steam-devices to get controller support to work.

I use Pop!_OS and have had zero issues getting my Nvidia GPU to work on it, so that or a similar Linux distro that has good Nvidia driver support might be worth checking out.

Do you mean early access or advanced access?

I was just looking for an option to change this in the settings but couldn’t find it. I’ve been noticing this more and more lately. An option to set a max (display) length and use an ellipsis at the end would be really nice!

They sell it at every supermarket. If you ever visit again you may also want to try Tokkelroom. I prefer it to advocaat. It contains less alcohol and tastes creamier than advocaat (though the general taste is very similar).

To those who are having trouble finding advocaat in their country, it’s very easy to make though. And the ingredients should be easy to get in most places. Here’s a recipe. :)

I used to use You Need A Budget and was looking for an open source alternative. I’ve been using Actual since last year and I really like it so far. It has all the features I’d been looking for and is free and open source. It seems to fit your list of requirements as well! I’d highly recommend it!

Is that on Steam? I can’t find it.

It’s actually sold in many different other countries as well (such as The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, Poland, etc).

(Edit: fixed a typo)

What’s the GN debacle?

My top 10 (in order of most hours played) on Steam:

1. Cities: Skylines (669 hours)
2. Planet Zoo (523 hours)
3. Oxygen Not Included (400 hours)
4. Path of Exile (353 hours)
5. The Hunter: Call of The Wild (335 hours)
6. No Man’s Sky (326 hours)
7. Planet Coaster (326 hours)
8. Elite Dangerous (323 hours)
9. Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic (297 hours)
10. Across The Obelisk (223 hours)

I use Actual. How it works is very similar to YNAB (you budget the money you currently have) but it’s open source and privacy focused. I started using it a few months ago and I really like it so far!

I did hear about that but never had any issues myself.

I use Jetbrains Rider on Linux which runs just fine. It takes some setting up to install .NET but it didn’t take me too long. Except for pre-release versions, that might take more trial and error.

Overall I’m pretty satisfied with the switch to Linux and I haven’t had any major issues. Not with video games, either. Protondb.com is a good website to see what games do and don’t work on Linux and you may need to add launch options to get specific games to work or switch to a specific version of Proton.

It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth it for you or not. You could try a dual boot setup first.
