@gamingonlinux Oh, neat. Had that a couple of times in Darkest Dungeon 2. Great!

What do you think is the best thing to happen to in the last few years?

@gamingonlinux Yeah, containers->WSL2 is probably a good one. Or Steam Deck? Big companies (EA, Bethesda, Ubisoft, ...) caring about Linux+Proton compatibility?

If I really enjoyed Mass Effect 1-3, what’s another game I should grab that’s some sort of space epic?

cpy,
@cpy@mastodon.social avatar

@gamingonlinux I personally really enjoyed the StarCraft 2 campaigns (1 is also great with less QoL).

Other than that I'd check out Into the Breach, Prey (new one), SOMA, Titanfall 2, Warframe, Borderlands (?), Jedi: Fallen Order, maybe Portal(s).

6 days in France.

One cool alter ego ID card, spelling my name with the European "s".

Multiple whiteboards.

Multiple photos of whiteboards because we thought someone might be angry if we drew on the walls.

A lot of cheese, bread & several glasses of Bordeaux wines.

...also a trip to the beach.

Planet formation mapped out from beginning to end.

Subject to... ZOMG SO MANY CHANGES while we fine tune this properly.

It's the beginning of a project to design a new game.

@gamingonlinux So I can play any gog game for free on Amazon Luna? Or so I need an additional subscription?

Can success be measured by the frequency how often random strangers propose you rewrite your project?

cpy,
@cpy@mastodon.social avatar

@bagder To give it a positive spin - they agree with your goal but propose a different way of getting there?

Still a dick move.

It's admittedly just canned soup, but I'm giving myself points for presentation!

(I’ve managed to keep this basil plant alive and thriving for 5 months and for some reason that makes me really happy.)

@killyourfm 5 months is very respectful. Basil seems to have some inate aversion to my existence. It simply wilts at my attempts to prolong its agony.

Recently @lutris put up anti-cheat notices on game pages. Cool 👍 but then also links right to a cheats website 🤦‍♂️

This is not the way and actively harms how the project looks. I really hope they reconsider removing it.

It’s like linking directly to a pirate website for indie games. Oh but you don’t support it you just link to it easily for people? Don’t be stupid. See sense please.🙏

cpy,
@cpy@mastodon.social avatar

@gamingonlinux @lutris Yeah, linking Linux to cheating isn't great. Cathook for TF2 already gave Linux gamers a bad rep.

In (or at least in my state), we're having this fairly huge debate around whether highschool should be 8 (G8) or 9 (G9) years. Right now, some schools offer one or the other, some even both in parallel! (my is one of those) It's a big mess.

Now, there's a public voting where people can vote for or against G9-only.

In case you ever have to make the choice, go for G9-only. I chose G8 when I came to highschool, but I don't think I'd do it again.

cpy, (edited )
@cpy@mastodon.social avatar

@gregorni From personal experience - I'm still struggling with topics that were shortened or even entirely abandoned for G8. Peers that did G9 have better fundamentals.

@gamingonlinux I mean - I would buy Valve goven the opportunity. That in itself isn't saying that much. We can just hope Valve never sells.

@gamingonlinux I mean - do childrens toys count? But no. I just many big entities would be interested obviously. We just can hope Valve doesnt sell to anyone.

Reminder that availability & porting of any open-source engine to consoles is only less evident because consoles manufacturers decided their API was sacred & unique & under NDA. First console manufacturer who opens up will see 100+ custom engines avail within a month.

For Honor from Ubisoft gets an anti-cheat update - now Playable on Steam Deck. However their CD Key system seems to be having issues and not giving anyone keys to play <_< https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/07/for-honor-ubisoft-anti-cheat-update-now-playable-on-steam-deck/

@gamingonlinux Funnily enough - Assassin's Creed 2 has had that problem with CD keys for an eternity.

@gamingonlinux Nice article, a few thoughts:
I think B4B now has anti-cheat support. Multiplayer with PS5 users works for me.
Could've also mentioned Payday 2, Remnant: From the Ashes and maybe the Zombie Army series. If you lean more into a co-op story there's also the Borderlands series close by.
