Published by Hooded Horse? They have a lot of interesting games coming. As for the game itself it looks nice. Rimworld at larger scale would be nice but a hard job to pull off. If the combat is more RTS like it would be good.
I have. It's a great '90s movie: a vague premise to hang action scenes and a little human drama on. It doesn't try to say much. The tornadoes just are. I don't have much hope for the sequel, I doubt they'll be able to imitate the feel of the first one.
Yeah up to you. I don't recommend people use Arch unless they acknowledge it is the hard way.
When I say "older things" I usually mean around the time of Civ 4. 10 years older than that and you might be encountering 16-bit code. Some well-written new stuff works and works well and some new stuff doesn't. Example of the good: Mechwarrior 5. Example of the bad: Baldur's Gate 3.
As for native games, I've not had a problem with any yet except 32-bit builds needing 32-bit libraries but most of those are required by, or optional dependencies of Wine anyway.
I do it the hard way by using Arch and stock Wine so I have no good suggestion for you. Proton seems to work well and is therefore popular so find out what distro it can be easily used from and pick that. Perhaps it comes as part of the bundle with the Steam client.
All I know is that native Linux games from GOG work well for me and Wine fills in the gap for older things.
[EDIT] The idea about using different drives for Linux and Windows is a good one.
The animation corner cutting is widespread. I forget what it was I saw a couple of weeks ago, it wasn't fantasy or isekai, but it was a static drawing with insane camera panning all over. They didn't even bother with some stock effects overlaid. I think it was a battle so they could have done some smoke or sparks or something that moved to hide the still image.
Fantasy need a bit more life and creativity pumped into it and to stay away from the video game tropes. I know it's an isekai but I'll use Konosuba as an obvious example. It has jobs, parties, levels, mission quests, and is basically a video game being played by Kazuma. That is fine in a comedy isekai story like that but I see it seeping into stories that aren't. Goblin Slayer is close because it nearly has all 4: ranks instead of levels, no character has a name just their job, and obvious mission quests, and just straight up parties. Frieren, despite how good it is, still has jobs and parties and almost has levels in the form of mage guild ranks (very coarse).
Record of Lodoss war is hard to beat even if that is just a D&D game turned into a story but we need more like it and LOTR and even just some sword and sorcery like Conan, the barbarian not the detective. Don't use the word "party". Surely there is a Japanese word you could use with a meaning like gang, group, band, fellowship?
I am mostly satisfied with my logitech G402 which replaced my superior G5. It has two extra buttons (more than the relatively common forwards and backwards ones) but I don't use them much. One downside is that it is very angular with a bunch of gaps that collect gunk.

I think it is more like Britain where you are forced to pay in but you can pay extra for private treatment. Despite saying that I don't believe there is an NHS down under but a couple of "insurers".
