If you're trying to play Mewgenics via #CrossOver on #macOS in #Steam and you get crackling audio, exit the game and Steam and then launch Wine Configuration and add the Mewgenics exe in your Steam app folder to the "Applications" tab and set the compatibility level to (yes) "Windows XP"
Can confirm this worked for me - adding this tidbit to my workarounds knowledge

Been playing Roots Devour (#Steam via CrossOver on #macOS
BE THE ELDRITCH HORROR YOU ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE
It's pretty great, put in 8 hours so far.
The general gist of the game is strategic, puzzle-like reveal of map levels - capturing cards of creatures and humans, wrapping them in your blood sucking vines, and generally conquering all.
When you get stuck, spend some of the blood to open a card pack and get random helper tools, effects, and critters.
Sounds are superb and visuals are very ๐’œ๐ธ๐’ฎ๐’ฏ๐ป๐ธ๐’ฏ๐ผ๐’ž - if you dig Cult of the Lamb or Darkest Dungeon, you'll probably enjoy it.
Only downside is that there's an occasional indicator that English is not the primary language of the game developers. Very rarely you can see untranslated Chinese text on-screen, one or two oddities (uncapitalized, punctuation slightly off). This is unfortunately probably why they're getting a little beat up in the Steam reviews.
Honestly, in my 8 hours so far, I've noticed it like 3? 4? times tops so far. The game is so very much my jam, it really hasn't bothered me.
Some people are also reviewing it as "too linear" - they definitely gave up way too early. There are SECRETS, side areas, choices you can make, intentionally difficult areas that will take some thinking to unlock, etc.
Currently 10% off right now, give it a shot!

Lots of discounted games on Steam right now for Next Fest, which goes to March 2. I just got 11 games for less than $20 total. Gotta love Steam, man ๐Ÿ˜‚

I appreciate the effort Valve is putting into Proton to enable games to run on Linux. But couldnโ€™t the developers just develop natively for Linux?
Change my mind.

As promised, here's the game play footage of the tiny Virtual Pinball machine playing my most favorite layout: Mexico 86 Deluxe. See previous posts for the specs of the hardware. #Steam #ZaccariaPinball

Thanks to @…, I'm now the owner of a Steam Deck! ๐Ÿคฏ Just loaded 100 games on it from the collection, and now the true test, as many are older indies - only a few of the ones I loaded are sure to work. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But testing them all and finding out will be interesting.

For fans of #Steam games where you can build -really- broken mechanics like Balatro or Slay the Spire (#deckbuilders, #roguelikes, etc. - "Make the numbers go UP!"), LOOTPLOT has been *extremely* satisfying for me
It's like: "what if Incredible Machine, but Ballionaire" - you randomly get access to a bunch of items that each have their own mechanics and trigger/play off each other, which you build out on a grid - but the grid itself can be manipulated by the items. Some of the interactions are absolutely wild.
Plays a little rough on CrossOver - I think the dynamic scaling plays havoc with texture calculation - but is still enjoyable all the same. (It's written in Lร–VE - I really hope the author releases a macOS build!)
The sale price of $3.49 is crazy good for the enjoyment value I've gotten out of it
