You can take the windows installer from GoG and run it in a bottle, but honestly Heroic is much more convenient for that. Bottles works for any local game installer though, just like Lutris, but it has a more accessible interface, and once you've installed games you can add the shortcut to the bottles library which gives you a tiled view like Heroic.

"We are afraid", they say while wiping their tears away with $100 bills.

If you don't like the Lutris interface give Bottles a try.

Unless the bad guys got to time travel first... then every timeline becomes the bad timeline.

I've always experienced the opposite - native English speakers are horrible at spelling because they don't have to put any effort into comprehending the language, vs non-native speakers who frequently have to take ESL tests for either academia, work, or immigration, and therefore had more exposure to spelling practice.

It has the following buttons recognised in xev: 1 (left), 2 (wheel press), 3 (right), 4 (scroll fwd), 5 (scroll back), 8 (pgdn), and 9 (pgup). These are standard remappable in Linux, and I presume that Windows has equivalent capabilities.

There's three additional buttons that are not mappable, which are for input select and DPI.

Liver and Onion, anchovies, chunchullo, whitebait, blood and tongue sausage... generally these fall in two categories:

  • Food that has a particularly strong flavor that clashes with what people are used to, and
  • Food that is made from the parts of an animal that is not "meat" and therefore has an unfamiliar texture.

They're wrong on all accounts - taste is acquired, and people should at least try food out of their comfort zone - but considering that it took 20 years for me to even consider trying shrimp (which still isn't my first choice, but I like it now) I can understand.
