Thanks a ton for this guide! I got it all working on Debian 12.

A couple of differences I'll point out (in case it helps anyone else):

  • I was using the system's default apt-version of steam, but I needed the flatpak-version of protontricks to follow the guide because otherwise protontricks would crash. I think this is because the apt version of protontricks is too far behind.
    • sudo flatpak install flathub com.github.Matoking.protontricks installed protontricks
    • flatpak install com.github.tchx84.Flatseal installed flatseal, which allowed me to give protontricks additional filesystem permissions (otherwise protontricks wouldn't detect the steam games)
    • Open flatseal GUI, locate protontricks and give it more filesystem permissions
  • I also couldn't seem to get Steam to run the Untapped.gg Companion.exe executable after the install step. The problem seemed to be due to the . and white space characters in the name, so I renamed the executable to untapped_gg_companion.exe and then it worked
  • Finally, on my Debian laptop I require PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in my Steam launch options for MTGA - otherwise the game wont launch. So my final launch option including this and the OP's was: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD="/media/<username>/home/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/2141910/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Programs/untapped-companion/untapped_gg_companion.exe" %command%

Thanks again @pwalker@discuss.tchncs.de!!! Very much appreciated!!

I don't remember all of the details, but I thought it was essentially the water's surface tension that foots the energy bill when climbing a paper towel or a capillary in a tree.

The surface of fluids like water are unhappy. Molecules on the surface would much rather be deep in the fluid because on the surface they have "dangling" Van der Waals & polar bonds to one side. You can calculate the potential energy of the surface due to all of those dangling weak bonds, & that's the energy that is used to climb a capillary (the energy isn't free).

I could be misremembering though, I admit. School was many years ago...

Earthbound: Halloween Hack was really great! I played it this season. I wish it were longer though.

Thanks for posting the others! I'll check them out!

If it's a topic I'm super passionate about & there's no community on Lemmy then sure. But I'm not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.

In ye old'n times we would leave the console on as a stop-gap way to save the game between in-game save opportunities. Because ye old'n times game design philosophy believed that the added difficulty of crazily separated save points was "fun".

In modern times I sleep the hardware if I expect to be back within <24 hrs, and power off if I expect to be longer.

(Thank god for saving memory states in emulators!!! Elsewise I probably wouldn't play retro games at all.)

I'm Lemmy 99%. Can't do 100% because sometimes there isn't an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.

Why are you asking this in a Monero forum? I don't understand the connection.

Also, you're clearly not a native English speaker - so I'm suspicious that you don't live in the US & you're not actually running for office there. So what are you really doing?
