Just played through OneShot.

Very good little game. I did take a bit of fiddling to get to work properly in Linux, but worth it.

Sadly Bethesda has the perfect fan-base. Obedient consumers that think anything they indulge in is beyond reproach.

And regardless of the dwindling quality, they will keep buying whatever is advertised.

I take a lot of breaks. Just a few minutes doing something else.

I would never hold off on playing a game for a remake/remaster.

I love my oldies.

If you’ve already tried setting up Win 10, Mint should be downright enjoyable. It’s much more user friendly in my humble opinion.

Ahh, that headline title could have been more clearly written then.

Was Stalker supposed to be like Far Cry?

Am I missing something?

I’m not what one would call a “user” by any means. I was just tired of Microsoft and their practices.

And I’ve had very little need for any kind of customization as the people behind my distro have pretty much seen to everything a “dumb dumb” like me need it for.

Plus, I like that I can find solutions for most of the small problems I might find with a quick internet search. And if that fails, there’s multiple forums where I can ask for help.

It’s been a most welcome change.

So thank you, Linux Wizards.

I see how it’s different. And I’m not making excuses for anyone.

If anything, I’m saying I can understand where it’s coming from. But that doesn’t mean I’m onboard with it all.

The cost of developing games hasn’t skyrocketed. Developers have more means than ever. Many things that was handcrafted on crappy slow computers then are auto-generated in seconds now.

There’s no massive shipping costs or printing of physical mediums anymore. And no losses if the already printed cassettes or CD’s didn’t sell.

If a game costs hundreds of millions to develop, in this day and age, it’s by design and/or because of bloated companies.

I have no personal vendetta against any of these individual Devs.

My stake in this is slightly different. Like, when I heard about how Blizzard treated it’s own staff and then the whole sexual harassment thing popped up, I was done with them. From that point on, that company didn’t deserve to exist and I blacklisted them. So i try to keep up with gaming related news.

More studios have joined that list since, for various reasons, and I find myself mostly playing indie titles from small upcoming developers now. I feel better about that.

I do believe we should be(e) kind. But I also believe kindness is a two way street.

Mint has treated me just fine since I converted.

I’m not proficient with Linux whatsoever, but Mint has literally been the most newbie user-friendly OS I have tried to date. So Windows can suck it.

For gaming, Steam runs things great. And for other things like GOG, Battle.net, Lutris has server me well. Proton does a good job.

They’ll still make the Xbox consoles as long as they are selling. They’ll hopefully just ease off the “Exclusives” going forward.

It was a shitty way of trying to move consoles anyway.

Although they are late to the party, Sony is also trying to sell on PC and other storefronts. So my guess is that the console market isn’t treating either of them super well atm.

A quick internet search would suggest that no, you can exchange them, but not dismiss them entirely.

The game seems pretty hard-coded in regards to how they want you to play it.

I wouldn’t put it past them.

I do believe Valve also counts as Indie. They are privately owned and self-publish.

It’s been a while, but yeah. I do believe they have a couple of projects in the works.

Whether or not they’ll amount to anything is anyones guess.

Yeah, I know it was unrelated. And I’m sorry for high-jacking your comment.

Just thought I’d add my own little “funny” when it came to writing. :)

my writing is so cryptic i am the only one that could ever understand it.

That sounds like my handwriting. And If written in a hurry, even I struggle to make sense of the mix of runes, hieroglyphics and child’s drawings I call my “cursive”.
