Nah this is pretty concrete. There's a flat screen single player game in active development with features being added like vehicle physics, surface temperatures, NPC AI handling for non standard gravity, etc. And there are half life related strings all through it. HL3? Who knows, but it would explain why they actually acknowledged their two anniversaries...

I clicked that link and the first dozen results were Reddit posts and garbage

470 upvotes on a post which isn't a meme? Come on, we're better than this

Originally? Probably lack of options. These days the aim of the game is sounding "like a violin", so naturally there's very little innovation in violin technology.

Violinist here.

Violins make sound by dragging the bow (stretched horse hair) over a string, causing the string to vibrate. At the micro level, the bow pulls the string to one side using friction, until the tension on the string pulls it back - this happens hundreds of times per second, and forms the basis of the sound we hear. Horse hair is slippery by default. To create the necessary tension violinists apply a small amount of solidified tree resin by wiping a piece along the length of the bow. This piece of hardened resin has the same approximate texture as glass or hard candy, and is called rosin.

Not sure whether timeshift supports multiple systems per partition, but I'd be very surprised if you couldn't create separate partitions for each PC

They provide .deb files. I didn't hunt any further than that

You will be fine. I game on mint with an Nvidia card. Steam has a setting to fall back to proton for all games without native Linux, and for everything off steam use Lutris (install it from the website, since the package manager version is too old to be useful)

IT Crowd is cringe even for British humour, and has an unusual level of absurdity too
