Also, games made by Canadian game devs https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45548675-Canadian-Games-Devs

Hmm, looks like this does include Dwarf Fortress. (KitFox is in Montreal, but Tarn Adams spent a couple decades working on it in Seattle)
Does it make sense to buy it on sale, if paying for a thing that I’ve played a ton of already is the point?
I wouldnt pay for anything full price.
No, especially since the platform it’s sold on is American.
Anyone know of any games in which the story takes place in Canada? The last (only) one I’ve played is honestly Cross Country Canada when I was like 7.
The Long Dark.
Oh wow, this is a beautiful-looking game. Thank you.
Tails Noir comes to mind
Thank you, I’ll check it out!

Great adventure title. Just finished it this past week with my wife.
Woa, you even type commands like in Cross Country Canada lol. I’ll check this one out too. Maybe make my wife watch as well.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game.
This looks cool. I don’t follow Scott Pilgrim at all, but still looks enjoyable.

…sold through an American company.
Why patronise Valve when GOG is right there?
What do you recommend on GoG?
I’ve found that GOG generally has around 40% of the games I like on Steam, so I use lists like this to find interesting ones and then check GOG if it’s there so I can avoid paying Americans anything.
It doesn’t always work. Steam’s library is huge, but I’m doing my part for the whole #ElbowsUp thing, and for me, that means sending as little money their way as possible.
…and honestly, targeted sales like this make me think the boycott is properly hurting them.
Nice! Valve has done a lot for gaming on Linux, its one of the main reasons I use Steam.
Me too! I’ve been using Steam on Linux for a while, but thanks to American fuckery, I’ve had to experiment with leveraging Proton in Heroic to play GOG games. It’s pretty smooth though. I installed Disco Elysium this morning and it Just Worked™. I then went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games: Dorfromantik, Frostpunk, and Terraformers in GOG’s own Sumner sale. Not Canadian games mind you, but also not American ;-)
How well does https://www.protondb.com/ hold up when checking Proton compatibility with GoG?
It’s pretty good, but my problem is that if a game doesn’t run I assume it’s because I screwed something up. For example, Synergy, has a platinum rating and it installs just fine, but once started is just do slow for even drawing the starting menu while my CPU goes crazy. Clearly there’s a problem with it not using my GPU, but fucked if I know what package I didn’t install/configure properly.
Are you able to pull game categories or genres with Heroic or Lutris? For example, to search for local multiplayer games, puzzle games, etc…
