@taco, bird/cat :verified420: I've been keeping Linux in my tooling just for the games - and Unity and the Steam Deck have been the literal best things for me

@silverwizard i love my steam deck so much. i wish everyone could have one and experience how cool linux gaming is

I recently switched to Linux as my daily OS and yeah there are some hiccups, but overall I've been pleasantly surprised!

@noviri i've been daily driving linux for like 3 years now? i don't think i'll ever install windows again. proton has gotten so good.

Have not bought a Steam key from them but I've bought most of my Xbox digital library from them over the last 6-9 months

you absolutely do not, the only thing they have in common is they're all based on D&D systems, and share some setting.

While it might be worth looking at the old ones, check some of it out on something like Youtube first. They're *old* and use an accordingly old D&D edition as their core. They might be more clunky than you like.

That said, if you do like what you see, don't forget to look at Icewind Dale 1 and 2, as well!

I gave into the pressure. Just be aware that it's a LORGE game at 125 GB in size so it's still not done downloading on my end when I bought it this morning
