Looking for some good headphones to use for listening to music, and gaming. Could do wireless.. but I feel like USB or 3.5 mm connection would be best. Seems like a lot of the big brands have stuff locked into their windows apps....
Well, I don’t really like headphones, so mostly I’m using my living room stereo like it’s 1987 and I just got my first Amiga.
I do have a Sennheiser DT 990 Pro (3.5 mm TRS) because they’re supposed to sound “neutral” and their main purpose is to aid in audio …“work”… and voice chat. But they’re just fine for gaming, I guess, and have been trouble-free and fairly pleasant to wear (as big headphones go).
I run to Ubuntu or Linux Mint on everything except my gaming PC. Every year or two I try out Linux for gaming and usually go back to windows. With steam deck out it seems like Linux gaming is the best it's ever been. With that said I'm still a bit frustrated with freezing (halo mcc) and Bluetooth being super flakey on my 8bitdo...
Yes. I think Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 were my last "anchors" to Windows (7, at the time). I barely ever booted into it… I wanted to be NOT IN WINDOWS more than I wanted to play big fat luxury games.
But I did keep it around until there just wasn’t anything left that I wanted to run but couldn’t. The first Humble Indie Bundles with games like FEZ and Limbo had been out by that point as well as a few bigger titles like The Witcher 2. Wine was much more painful than it is now.
I’ve generally made sure not to buy too “crazy” hardware (like Bluetooth controllers… yes, I’m old and a neophobe and I don’t know what else).
This Quazatron? I’ve always adored Quazatron in static screenshots in magazines. An isometric/3D-ish Paradroid?! <3! But I guess the Zedex was too alien to me to get around to it.
They are the same game in many ways, but Paradroid has a flat top-down view with smooth omni-directional scrolling and can quickly become FAST AND DEADLY on any of the more dangerous decks…
Hello! Steam updated today and the scaling got messed up. Even after checking the option for automatic scaling, all the texts and icons look super small. Perhaps it has to do with me using 1440p.. do you guys know of any fix/workaround? Thank you!...
Oddly enough I no longer have that issue since the update (although it seems to come and go, and be present in the beta but not the ““stable”” client or vice versa). Plasma/Kwin Wayland scaled to 200% on UHD.
Oxenfree and Hollow Knight are two of my favourite “current” games. Can’t wait for Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals to come out in a month or so…
Though Oblivion, Skyrim, and Borderlands 2 might be the ones with the most playtime.
Nethack variants like Unnethack, Slash’EM and Dynahack are a perennial favourite on any OS since Hack on MS-DOS in the 80s and Nethack on the Amiga in the 90s.
Just loaded up Halo Infinite on PopOS and it ran flawlessly. I'm blown away, and am now looking at moving up my plans to switch away from Windows for my desktop. The future of Linux gaming is bright!
Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)
Heroic launcher improves GOG support with language, DLC, version management and more (github.com)
Note that when the changelog mentions “Windows builds” or “Mac builds”, they mean the games, not builds of Heroic itself… I think.

Best game to play on Linux
I'll start: Dwarf Fortress. Not found anything close.
TFW the game actually works on GNU+Linux

Tux Racer OST is an MK-ULTRA project case
I know this is clutter but the music legit has some hypnotizing nature to it, lol
Here goes… I don’t know what.
This is not really a thing yet....
