@ayo I hate it when this kind of thing happens

@lanodan I hate how much garbage you need to install and setup in order to play games on Linux, but this effort wasn't wasteful. I learnt a few things and I've got other games I want to play. The setup seems reusable.

@ayo This kind of thing is why I wish some games would be a bit more oriented towards distributions so you could just use the normal package manager. (and in gentoo licences are a thing that you can accept per-packages, a proprietary game isn't the same as a proprietary driver)

@lanodan On the one hand, yeah, that'd be nice. On the other hand, there's literally 100k+ obscure games out there, packaging each and every one for every distro will not scale. This seems like a problem for which flatpak or similar platforms seem like a reasonable solution.

@ayo Sadly flatpak is a mess at portability.

Something like pkgsrc would probably be better, that said in reality there isn't that many *real* distros.
