Well y'all, after a couple of false starts, I have successfully blown away the prior Ubuntu/Windows 10 dual boot setup on my ancient PC laptop, and replaced it with Bazzite. Bazzite is apparently a gaming-friendly flavor of Linux, and looks a lot like the Linux flavor on my Steam Deck.
It took some patience and tweaking, but now the system is successfully booting into the OS. Steam and Lutris are confirmed present. And I'm installing Skyrim as we speak.
The big hilarious question to answer here will be, will I actually be able to run Skyrim? And if so, will I get the same hilariously bad FPS I got without mods? We're talking 8-15fps right around Whiterun, LOL.
Skyrim is bonkers shit. Just met a bear in a cabin by the river and I got its health down to where it had run off so I had a little snooze in the bed. Imagine my Goldilocks ass surprise when I wake up and the bear is back in the cabin awake and pretty pissed off. #Skyrim
I have restarted #Skyrim again for the umpteenth time as a break from #Fallout and #BG3 but still scratching that fantasy, elves and dragons and shit, itch. I'm playing as a Khajiit stealth archer (imaginative I know) but I'm just about to start the companions quest line, except that will make me a Werewolf Cat.
I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.
I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.
Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM 🕉
I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.
I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.
I could've probably had the whole series of "The Real Barenziah" about 100 times now, but this one seems to be unobtainium. Where the heck do I find the other parts of this masterpiece? 🥴 #Skyrim#GamingOnLinux#gaming
In which Kendeshel defends a mad mage in the sewers beneath Solitude; also fights off two different dragons in the city; marries Rulnik Wind-Strider in Riften, and settles her family at Proudspire Manor; helps the East Empire Company reclaim Japhet's Folly; and acquires the Arms of Chaos to display with the relics in her museum.
I have an old PC and would like to try #Steam with #Proton. #Skyrim runs perfectly under Windows 10, under Fedora it crashes me "invalid adapter" directly at startup.
Happens with proton 8 and experimental.
In which the Dragonborns raid the Thalmor embassy, with very messy results, but get the information they rampaged in there for; and in which they rescue Esbern from the Ratway in Riften, and escort him back to Riverwood to rendezvous with Delphine.
Long overdue Skyrim Together post from early December.
In which Finds-The-Way learns how to find an Elder Scroll from a mad mage; slays a wave of frenzied mudcrabs in Dawnstar; is kidnapped by the Dark Brotherhood, and then invited to join them; recovers a lost clan sword from Silverdrift Lair; slays a treacherous Argonian in Ironbind Barrow; and takes out the Summerset Shadows to win access for the Thieves Guild in Windhelm.
This is more of my German playthrough of Skyrim, from mid-December. (I'm behind on my posts again!)
