Burnout 3 absolutely. Paradise was a great game but it’s format shift to open world effectively killed the series. Also made races really repetitive since they always went to the same places and you didn’t have an incentive to explore the rest of the map, which was full of really cool stuff like the quarry and train lines…

Anyway Burnout 3 is just the perfection of the classic formula. Shoutouts to Revenge for the traffic check mechanic and the cool new car designs.

Same for me. There are some interests I have (mostly niche games) that just don’t have the population to have any sort of traction here. I don’t comment or vote there anymore, and I’m only still logged in on my main PCs because I didn’t bother logging out. Deleted all my old comments and posts.

Until Google realizes normal.people would rather use this than take part in their AI search, and block usage of it outside of businesses.

This one is even better! Lmao

Growing up in a 3rd world country. When my father gave me a PS2 it was hacked to play pirated games. We also burned CDs on our PC before that.

Bought it on sale earlier this year alongside Palworld and Helldivers 2. You might notice why I still haven’t started it.

I had a sudden urge to look into TERA Online private servers, downloaded 100GB of custom game clients… And that somehow resulted in me getting back into playing Grim Dawn. This time I want to play it enough to really learn it and actually finish the game.

They’re simple to get into for anyone with an introductory interest in Linux, although I haven’t liked Ubuntu in ages. My Mint setup took a bit of effort but it does game pretty well. Fedora could be a good recommendation too, I liked that when I tried it out. There’s some gaming focused distros like Bazzite or Nobara, but I feel like I can get a “normal” distro working to a similar state for games, and I don’t have to hope that a small team doesn’t fold and my distro loses updates support.

I’m trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed this week, wanna see if it’s a good alternative to Fedora.

I don’t dare try Arch yet, and thus I also wouldn’t recommend it to any new user.

No no no no stop talking about it, quick before the Nintendo lawyers show up!!

The golden days of Ultimate-Guitar uaer submitted tabs and pirated Guitar Pro 5 (which my guitar teacher gave to me on a burned CD) Good times.

Speaking of the state of piracy, how is the state of piracy on Linux? I usually only do that stuff on Windows, I’ve never tried installing Repacks and such on my Linux machines.

Yeah I tried actually joining a Foundry game because my friends wanted to use it instead of Roll20 for our next game. We only really played two sessions on it amd it was an absolute nightnare, so many technical problems that it completely soured the experience. The first session had a TWO HOUR delay because the thing wasn’t working and had to install a bunch of addons, and then I had to install a different browser because it didn’t want to work with what I had at the moment. Pissed me off, ngl.

Can we go back to when every technology was just weaponized instead? No? This is somehow worse.

Yeah I know my internet craps itself out every now and then, it’s just a fact of life. I like my things on my machines to work regardless of that.

Anyway, that second explanation, doesn’t sound much better. Then again, I don’t think I’m going to use Windows again when 10 goes EoL.

And not being able to log into my own fucking machine if I lose internet access, or if Microsoft servers are on fire? Absolutely fucking not.

Oh good I had just checked them this week and aaw that they were coming back soon.

Ohh I’d love to ask you: which emulation handheld you think provides the best arcade emulation experience for vertical shmups?

But was he???

I’d copy my Doom and Quake folders, hoping the modern sourceports still work on them. Well, PrBoom+ and ZDoom should both work. Then all my emulators up to the 32-bit era, some music and the seasons of Kamen Rider and Ultraman that I’m currently watching.Honestly I could just bring my actual external hard drive or my HP laptop from 2013 that I installed Linux on. It’s what I got on those.

Yes, all of their games in the past few years or so have DLCs like that. What I’m actually worried about is some of their games the MTX aren’t irrelevant like these. Monster Hunter has been getting more and more of these with each new release since World and I’m scared of what they’ll do with Wilds.
