You son of a bitch, I’m in.

Originally, like I suspect many who played ffvii as their first ff, I hated it. Hated how Squall was such a tool. Didn’t really get the magic system. It was so different from ffvii and I has such high hopes.

Over time I have really warmed to it. The story goes incomprehensible toward the end (for me at least) but the road to it is really quite fun. The draw system is interesting even if it discourages you from actually using magic. And yes, the love story is quite sweet at times.

Squall is still a tool though.

I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this.

YMMV of course but I was playing Timberborn just the other day on Mint, on an Nvidia card, through Heroic. Proton seems to have been a gamechanger. I have just made my first steps into switching my daily driver myself. I may have been lucky but all the games I have wanted to play have worked so far. I also have a Steam Deck, which is what has encouraged me that it may be possible.

Agreed. It is difficult to recommend in some ways because I didn’t find it all that engaging at first. The gameplay was interesting but didn’t massively hook me.
