Deal
A fir or pine board cut to standard dimensions.

I haven’t used my fountain pens for a while now (been all keyboard lately). The ink had all dried up in the tanks, so I just added water. The varying darkness due to that, played well in making the marks on the board.

I found it hard to show the difference between chop-lines and wood-marks.
Also, the fat marks were kinda hard to paint too. Guess a brush would have done that better.

… oops, I didn’t read Rule 3 fully.
Guess I’ll be looking for black ink, next:P

The paper I used, came in a pack of handkerchiefs I bought a while ago.

Yeah, that’s why try multiple times and aim higher every time until 45°
Once you reach that, if you are still falling short, you know you have no chance, unless you increase the launch speed.

Of course, you can try to properly calculate drag for each projectile and set that as the maximum, but it’s fine for a one-off, assuming you have enough arrows to try again.

Go with a fantasy arrow made of light, for the last one.

Honestly, my Linuxified brain would just setup a background service to do that instead.
And I would set it up to not keep on running once I have started the game.

I think Lutris does that too, not sure about it though. Maybe I’ll check it next time.

I’m going with 4 too, unless I somehow lose my fingers.

4 seems the most suitable for liquid-er stuff, which I’d be unable to use my fingers for.
It also feels like it would be easier to clean than the others.

Do you really keep track of it?

No, I just don’t update them. The offline installers don’t come up as often either.

Also, I only have ~5-10 GoG games.

Ah right, I had forgotten the cloud saves. Those are actually a real value addition to consider using an extra client.

For updates though, I am happy to just re-download the offline installer whenever it gets released.
Of course, I am not buying from GoG, the kinds of games that won’t work unless constantly updated.

Maybe they did and didn’t like that I used the technically incorrect term “quality testing”, instead of “performance testing”, which would be appropriate for this case.

Or maybe they just didn’t like me saying that the one benefitting from said testing should be paying equivalent value to the one putting in the work.

There’s also Windows Phone

Maybe that was some mod that was only pulling other mods and nothing new of itself?

I’m trying to say, “Why have a client in the first place?”
I keep GoG games and I am happy getting to keep the offline installers and not having to open an extra GUI thing before running my game.

I would love being able to run my Steam games without having to open Steam.
Now maybe you see some value in Steam giving the Achievements system and notifications to online-friends about your activity, but is it really required?

If your point is about using the GoG Linux client to run Windows games on Linux:

1. Yes, it’s a big deal. Steam can do it, but GoG is much smaller
2. Lutris

I don’t buy GoG games that don’t have a native Linux download and I use the Linux installer, so again, I see no merit in having yet another app.

Some of the ideas already have implementations.

e.g. In Qt Creator, you get tags^[1] for local vs class variables, variables passed as a reference etc, which is similar to one of the points.

I’d say, it’s mostly additive and depending upon how many people find which of these worthwhile, they can be implemented into the LSPs

Why do you desire a Linux client?
I myself don’t want to have to open an extra software from the distributor, just to play my game.
It might then end up adding extra constraints like not being able to open multiple games at the same time on your multi-monitor setup.

I guess you were testing with multiple versions of Proton to see which one works the best? Otherwise, doesn’t make sense to have changed 5 versions in 25 hours.

If you were testing as such, the game publishers should be paying you for doing their job of quality testing.

There was this browser game (on the BBC website IIRC) with a Wallace and Gromit theme, in which you build stuff.
It had a level in which you make a vehicle-ish contraption and see how far it goes ^[1]. I managed to setup a motor and generator in such a way that it effectively increased the vehicle’s range by quite a bit.
I don’t remember well enough now, but I think the generator didn’t give as much resistance as the energy it was creating.

how bad could it go

this bad

All those people tied up over there, previously disturbed the cat.

Would you rather Gaming Extreme MAX Torpedo Super Champ Grand Prix Haxx 2020 Ultra MAX Elite ?

it’s not even legal

Isn’t there one that has both, the OS vendor and the hardware seller as a same entity?
