Why didnt i think of that! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] mranachi@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Lol, so defensive. So the games not running is a problem unique to your system then permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mandy@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (2 children) thats the furthest from being defensive, more like aggressive against a piece of shit piece of software, but whatever dude permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Zoop@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) The people trying to help you that you're being so rude to are not the software you're upset with. You shouldn't be taking it out on others; especially not people being kind to you and just trying to help you.

What i don't follow is why you're having this experience, when for the average user is click to install and play out if the box for many many games. If it's not the game, because you've checked protondb, and it's not the software, because you've installed multiple distros i feel like you've either got some super unique hardware challenge or you're making a unlikely mistake. Heaven forbid people ask you if you've done things that are obvious, we're just trying to help. Nothing sucks more than sinking time into getting a game to work for it to fail. Regardless, based on highly emotional responses to many posts my guess is that you're the root cause of your own problems. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) You are quite the cocky jerk for not getting software to run that complete noobs are using on their Steam Deck. I'd be more ashamed than anything in your shoes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mandy@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago jerk? sure (cause i have heard that "advice just as often as things havent worked, to me its about the same as "have you tried turning it off and on again?", could i have been nicer about it? sure but at this point im so over it) but cocky? i know a dumb bitch and run of the mill advise, while good intentioned doesn’t make it helpful, granted i also havent shared more than it just not working (which is really all there is to it) permalink fedilink source parent
