I got jumpscared by an Ian Bogost citation in a youtube video essay today. It has been a while.

I was explaining to my kid that legends are really old stories.

"When will Kingdom Hearts be a legend?"

Nearly told him it already was.

The community came together and came up with a set of proton options that seems to have made #ForzaHorizon6 work perfectly on Bazzite! It shows not just the dedication of the #LinuxGaming population, but also the flexibility of Proton and its forks to work around nearly any problem that could come up. It would have been unthinkable that a game like this could work - day 1 - on Linux, but here we are. Credit goes to the devs too, for not intentionally breaking the game on unsupported platforms.

Launched #ForzaHorizon6 on #Bazzite today. It's a little rocky, and after some tinkering I was able to play about an hour before the GPU crashed. Still, not bad for a day one run! I have confidence between proton and driver updates, it should be fine soon. #LinuxGaming

It's interesting that Valve argues more devs should build a single executable that targets Proton as the platform whereas Unity thinks the way forward includes Linux specific binaries. Having seen "Linux builds" kind of fall off in the late stages of a game's support cycle, I'm more inclined to support Valve's philosophy. #linuxgaming

Have I mentioned how much I love #bazzite today?

When she was very young, my daughter looked me straight in the eye, right out of the blue, and said to me with the utter earnestness only a 3-year-old can summon:

“Be brave! Be safe! Be purple!”

I’ve been hanging on to that advice a lot lately.

Haha! I successfully got my five year old to watch and enjoy a @TechConnectify video. He innocently asked "how can you even make things colder?"

Well kiddo, let me introduce you to a little thing called the refrigeration cycle!
