I am continuing out of spite. None of their other students did, but I managed to expose them with hard evidence. :) I now have a mortgage of debt and physical problems, but I am still here. Almost done.

My first supervisor fucked up my life in ways I’m never going to recover from. I wasn’t even the first, just the worst case. I was able to get away from them eventually, but it should have happened much, much earlier. There needs to be more accountability. RIP.

This site shows how well games run on Proton (compatibility tool) and people offer solutions to get them running if there’s any snags.
