Just a hunch, but it’s not performance why peeps are migrating away from windows

It’s been a minute since I last tried it, but: Forge: The Magic: The Gathering Rules Engine https://card-forge.github.io/forge/ & https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge

It’s essentially MTG: Shandalar - but free & opensource. So basically you start with some starter deck, roam the lands to defeat color-coded wizards and dungeons for ante-cards and money (which you use to just buy cards from vendors), build deck, and ultimately defeat the elemental gods etc. Shandalar. :)

The game has actual MTG cards (can be downloaded via the game’s menus).

I dunno, 80’s glamrock church could be dope, but it wouldn’t be dark souls anymore

you think you’re getting off the call if it isn’t?

so human of it!

find / -type f -name windows

as root? see where it nests?

it’ll probably be back running once you reboot. better find out where on your storage it is, why is it starting and where did it come from.

SDV felt quite hectic when I tried to do everything the game told me about, but once I let go and didn’t worry about the upcoming evaluation, everything became nicer.

But if you can’t shake the need to do everything ASAP, can’t help you there. But the game has very few (if any?) missable things, no need to do everything NOW NOW NOW, there’s always next year.

Though, yea, there’s quite a bit of work to do for eg. 100% community center or both dungeons. I suppose there’s mods to alleviate the “grind/difficulty”, but haven’t checked.

Probably the LJN’s entire NES-catalogue? IIRC they were pretty much all some media-property-license-schlock.

I’ve played very few movie-to-game adaptations, but one that I did play was Total Recall for NES. It’s fairly ass, imo.

The game does follow the movie fairly well, although I can’t say I recall Arnie pummeling dozens of hobos in a cement factory in the movie x)

The controls were fairly stiff and difficulty quite high up there, it was on NES after all.

I think that one option might be to have two lists of achievements.

And then we’d just replace one problem with another, some people care way too much about achievements and they’d be working even more to get ALL of them / both sets.

Friend of mine recommended it to me, and it was already on my radar as it did look very interesting. Bought it, played about an hour and proceeded to ask for a refund. It didn’t do it for me at all.

The funny thing is that on paper it should have been a slam dunk for me, but literally nothing in-game felt like I liked doing it. Weird.

Welp, not every game is for me, and in this case I know I’m a rare outlier. :P

Entirely up to the game & how interesting the post-game stuff is.

I have 100%'s eg. Batman: Arkham Asylum (on normal, not gonna try-hard it). The amount of collectibles was within the toleranse and it was fairly fun to hunt the items with the hints provided.

Now, few years forward with Arkham City and Arkham Knight? Hard nope. Too many collectibles/activities/timewasters, stupendously huge areas, too obscure hints, nah, nopety-nope-nope. And the good ending in AK was tied to finishing “optional activities” which I just could not be bothered with, watched the ending on youtube and uninstalled.

Diablo-likes I can grind for hundreds, if not thousands of hours, as the “click go brrrr, get item of +1 betterness” after campaign is fun for surprisingly long periods for me. But at the moment I have the problem that I have pretty much played all of the available ones (edit: ones that I’m willing to buy, that is).

Bricky is entertaining and laces the lore with memes. Easy entry to the lore, if a bit wrong at times - or so I’ve been told. “Close enough”, imo.

kinda wild a file-link ever went straight to executing it after download - which on it’s own could be dangerous as well.

I guess the “the s in IOT stands for security” also applies to notepad: “the s in vibecoding stands for security”

heh, ofc. Apparently something to do with file:// and such uri handling, apparently executing local files? Yikes.

notepad has formatting now? o_O

does it produce markdown or something?

I don’t know, I don’t play cod. See the links from previous replies for that.

as for should you get linux, only you can answer that once you’ve done the research

The daw/music software? Just wine. used wine to install the app & vst plugins, then just using the “start menu” shortcut for the app to run it. I did have to use winetricks to install dxvk on the prefix (without it, some plugin ui’s did not work properly), but after that it works fine.

as for “does it run good” - well enough for me. Some of the guitar/bass amps and instruments I use seem to use noticeably more cpu than on windows

yep, this.

basically, games that need some extra dll file to get mods running, it’s generally just adding WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“nameofthedll=n,b” as env var for the game and off to modded adventures it is.

I haven’t tested this, but fairly sure you could just install vortex, mo2 or whatever other modmanager to same prefix as where the game is.
