Old post, but can you share what you did? I’m fighting the same problem.

Similar to how ReCAPTCHA was meant to train neural networks for image recognition the anti bot protocol is used to train an autist to find an efficient factorisation algorithm.

“Prove that you’re a bot by factorising this large number.”

Are they related to Aaron Paul?

Anybody know how it compares to ALVR?

Not too loud. Don’t want the suits to find out.

That’s because every time you run a new program with Proton on Steam it creates a new Wine-prefix (fake Windows drive). So when you run the installed battlenet.exe it creates a new Windows environment where Battle.net is not installed.

But the installer is using the environment where Battle.net is installed and apparently it has a function to run Battle.net when it detects that it’s already installed.

Oh my, haven’t played Fallout Shelter in ages. I think I played until I hit the “pay or take ages” stage. I guess they removed that by now?

If you don’t want to go the Heroic route (you really should go the Heroic route) you can

1. download the offline installer from GoG
2. add the installer as a none-Steam-game to Steam
3. select Proton for compatibility
4. run the installer
5. add the installed game’s exe to Steam as a none-Steam-game
6. select Proton for compatibility

Trouble with that method is that Steam always creates a new Wine prefix (a kind of fake Windows drive) every time you run a new none-Steam-game with Proton. They can pile up and take unnecessary space away. It also makes it harder to install dependencies or mods or add ons.

So yeah, Heroic is the way.

My uneducated guess is that someone put the rope on the barrel by hand and twisted it in the process.

Something something Bell’s Theorem. I don’t really understand it but that one was supposed to be counterevidence to hidden variables.

I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Current Blizzard wouldn’t have cancelled Ghost.

Technically the visible universe extends only about 13 billion light years from us. We can just calculate where that stuff is now because of expansion. And as I wrote the area we’re aiming for will surely change drastically the further away it is.

These journeys wouldn’t take billions of years for someone traveling near light speed because for them the lengths would shrink down so much that they’d be negligible. Of course once they had slowed down those billions of years will have gone by for everything outside the space ship. So it’s not good for missions where you want to return home to your family afterwards.

The big problem is energy. If we had almost infinite energy we could accelerate to a significant fraction of the speed of light at a leasurely 9.81 m/s² in about a year. The travel at almost lightspeed would feel instantaneous for us. Add another year to decelerate at the same rate. We could reach any point in the visible universe in 2 years.

Our destination would just be drastically different from what we observed, depending on how far away it was.

Oh, and apart from the tiny energy problem cosmic radiation will probably destroy our spaceship. I bet at relativistic speeds you’d even get enough neutrino collisions to make them a problem.
