  • Sort of. It might be a good idea to see what the mentioned Heroic Launcher does. What I do is tedious and cumbersome.

    Edit: I tried Heroic Launcher. Use that. It’s exactly what I wanted. Ignore what I’ve now placed in the spoiler.

    1. Download all GoG install files for a particular game, and place them in some folder.
    2. “Add a non-steam game” from within steam, for the installer executable, with the corresponding working directory (“start in”).
    3. Run the “game”, with the proton compatibility mode enabled.
    4. After installing, change the entry from 1., to point to the game executable (you’ll have to search for it), and corresponding working directory. It should be somewhere in $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/

    PS: Surround all paths with double quotes. Both the TARGET and START IN fields. The working directory is almost always the directory that the executable is in.

    When updating a game, it is sort of the same story. Download update files. Change the entry to run the update. Update. Change the entry back.

    I’m sure there are better ways to do this. So I’ll probably check the Heroic Launcher. I remember trying similar things in the past, and I wasn’t all that happy with it.













  • To anyone who tries watching the first one, just skip ahead to 6:50 where he actually starts explaining his reasoning. I can summarizer them here

    • “Volume is visible”
    • “You gotta scoop your stuff out with something, so it might as well be by something that measures volume”

    The third one was too dumb for me to follow. Something about if you measure stuff by weight, you end up with large portions.

    The fourth one was just absurd. No one measures spices by weight… So not being able to measure 1.2g of cinnamon or what not, just isn’t a thing.

    Alright. I’ll stop there. The arguments presented go from fairly bad, to dumb, to made up stuff no one does. The arguments against them are so easy to express:

    • “Amounts” of cooking ingredients is mass, so if you want to measure that, you… might as well just measure that, ie weight.
    • Amounts that make sense to measure by weight, you measure by weight.
    • Spices, and stuff that makes sense to measure by volume, you measure by teaspoon, pinches, or what not. Rarely is the accuracy there all that important, tbh.
