I agree. I say open door so the function should be named openDoor.

Honestly nowadays none of that matter if you’re using any remotely modern IDE with good indexing and a sensible search, you can start typing however you mind works and it will find it no matter how it’s named.

I’m curious to know how your language throws and catches errors :)

Is flex X on the haters a way of logging to console?

Right, I guess if you already the wow client, you could skip it all and just add wow.exe as a non-steam game to your library and try that, it should work.

Otherwise if you’re dealing with the old school wow installer wizards, I guess you can follow the steps in a similar way except use the wow installer where it mentions the battle.net installer.

Yeah you can Google how to install wow on Steam deck and follow the guide, with a caveat that on the steps between installing battle.net and creating a launcher for it on Steam after it’s installed, I suggest moving the contents of the proton bottle to a shared space so you keep you credentials. Let me get on my pc in a few minutes and I’ll get you some instructions.

EDIT:

this is what I did:

• Download Battle.net installer from https://downloader.battle.net/download/getInstaller?os=win&installer=Battle.net-Setup.exe

• Add it to Steam from the Games > Add a non-steam game to my library…

• Right click on it from Steam library, Properties…, Compatibility, check “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool” and select Proton Experimental. Close the window.

• Run the installer by double-clicking it in your library. Go through it as usual, make sure you uncheck to start it with Windows, and to mark Keep me logged in.

• Install WoW (don’t need 100% installation, just start it), and click on the cog icon and Create a desktop shortcut (no shortcut will be created in your desktop)

• Open Battle.net settings and in App, On Game Launch, set to Exit Battle.net completely.

• You can also mark When clicking X, Exit Battle.net completely.

• When done, close it fully (from tray and etc).

• Navigate to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata and find the folder with the Battle.net installation (it’s going to be the one with a longer name, and most recently modified).

• (Optional, see footnote) Move the contents of the pfx folder somewhere else like ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx and create a symlink from ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx:

ln -s ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx

• In your steam library, find the Battle.net installer, right click > Properties…

• Change the shortcut target to

"~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop/World of Warcraft.lnk"

And Start in to:

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop

You can also find an icon in

~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx/drive_c/proton_shortcuts/icons/256x256/apps

• In WoW, make sure to disable vertical sync.

Footnote: The reason for moving the proton prefix folder away is that this way you can have a shared proton prefix for all your non-steam proton games with the advantage of keeping a shared login state and etc between the apps since the registry is stored inside the pfx folder, but have a separate shortcut for each in your steam library by always creating this symlink back to the shared folder, and the ability to tune proton settings to each different application separately as those settings they are kept in the parent folder.

I installed it just yesterday through Proton on Steam, worked absolutely perfectly out of the box, Fedora 39, better performance than on Windows 11.

In my case it was due to need. I didn’t get any PS1 emulators to run well on my laptop at the time (a Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Book 2) and if I recall was due to old OpenGL libraries used in all emulators, but DuckStation implements DX11 and Vulkan, and performance was simply brilliant, so by modern that’s what I meant.

PCSX and PCSX2 are ancient. I wish DuckStation supported PS2 too because it’s an excellent modern emulator.

Honestly it actually may be just fine, I had some trouble from before when I was trying distros and re-learning the current state of Linux (after a 3 years break) and looking back, they may have been related to Wayland or something else entirely instead of flatpak itself.

I may be wrong too but I think game detection on Discord won’t work for flatpak Steam (and flatpak Discord). I may be wrong though.

I’ve been using Fedora and honestly I’m impressed. Especially since version 39. It’s solid, stable, gaming just works. It requires some initial setup with COPR and installation might not be as straight forward but it’s definitely not hard.

I may get downvoted but make sure you’re using X11 for now because Xwayland latency is real. Wine on Wayland is around the corner but not there yet. And use Steam from COPR not flatpak. Besides that, in my opinion, it’s a dream setup.

That actually reminds me of RetroAchievements. Some modern emulators have an integration with it and they track play time and achievements. I am not sure if it works for any game but in theory a standalone scrobbler could be written.

That’s a freaking interesting idea, about the scrobbler.

That’s a pretty great extension I use on a daily basis. I just wish there would be a little more customisation on how it looks like.

I’d like to be able to have more options on how the window appears and where, like a smaller floating window appears where the mouse or the cursor is would be also a useful option. I don’t need link previews and I think the item boxes are too big.

That sounds amazing thanks, I’ve bookmarked the page and will check back again next month 😁 I guess I can use the time to sharpen my skills :😆

Edit: is there a way I can contribute to the prize pool even if I don’t take part in the tournament this time?

That’s gonna be on my wife’s birthday so unfortunately I’m not joining this time but looking forward for the next one!

If someone says “there’s been a bombing” I will understand it is in the premises of where I am because that HOW LANGUAGE WORKS you fucking moron.

Omit the location in a location dependent phrase and the location is your location.

Stop spreading toxicity otherwise you’re the terrorist too.

I’m originally from Brazil but I’ve been living in Poland for the past decade so I had the Polish app setup with Android covid notifications. The neat thing is that it doesn’t matter as they all talk together due to how the protocol works.

I got a few notifications in Poland, and I also did travel to Brazil, and got notifications there too.

The app only works if enough people are in though, so if nobody uses then it won’t work. Depends on the area, people, way of thinking.

Except .NET then you can use Rider which is pretty much IDEA but with added support for .NET, which makes it… better…? Not sure.

I came back to using Linux after a few years break this week, tested a bunch of different distros, and for some reason the game I picked to load on all of them to test gaming was No Man’s Sky.

Needless to say, after I finished setting up my final distro of choice (which was Ubuntu 23.10), I’ve put many more hours into this game since.

Não sei como funciona no Brasil mas aqui na Europa a função de aproximação tem um limite sem precisar do PIN do cartão. Aqui na Polônia é o equivalente a R$ 50, compras acima desse valor precisam de PIN na aproximação.
