I’m torn. Valve has been so good for Linux gaming. They made a handheld console that emphasizes real ownership and the right to repair. They generally make good decisions when it comes to things and while they do take a big cut of game sales, their platform has so many features it’s crazy.

This gambling thing though really sucks. I get that they need to monetize, but I feel like they could get away with just selling skins, or having the loot boxes being a free daily play reward that drops things that could be sellable on the marketplace. No way to buy a box like this. Just earned for free through play.

Wouldn’t it be cool if people used loops instead!

I’ve got a 6800xt and it runs really well on medium settings. Looks pretty good as well. Never had the game crash on me either. It’s 60fps but I’m cool with that. Gameplay feels smooth at that and it’s steady. No upscaling no frame Gen. 3440x1440.

I have heard a lot of people are having issues with Nvidia hardware though.

My mid range 4 year old PC must be hella premium. Because I’ve had no issues playing it.

Quite a bit of northgard with my wife. But I have really been wanting to goof off in Abiotic Factor with my friends. It’s been hard to get together. Curse getting older and having other priorities!

I thought borderlands 2 was great, but I spent more time playing 3. I’m excited to play 4 but there isn’t a chance in hell I’m buying it day one. I want to see what the general reaction to it is before I spend my coin on it.

And I’m cool with that! But my kidneys won’t let me enjoy red meat so let’s do lab grown tuna or chicken!

I would rather eat a meal that doesn’t pretend to be meat and just be it’s own tasty thing. I don’t need a steak, but I do want a delicious savory thing.

If you wanted to you could host your own server with Owncast.

I set one up on an old laptop and it worked well enough the few times a mucked around with it.

Mine is I have IgA Nephropathy!

Ha! Gottem.

I love these posts and always look forward to them. Take care of your health! As someone who recently found out my health and lifestyle are about to change drastically. You absolutely need to make sure you take care of you.

It was ok. It felt like it needed something. The basic ship was clunky feeling to fly and the weapons felt mediocre. The enemies didn’t feel fun to fight either. But it was fun with my friends. But I think that was spending time with them more than the game was. I walked away from the game not disliking it, but not having any particular interest in playing any more of it.

Even just the RTS games that never came out. Northgard is great on the deck!

Pretty much. If it works for the steam deck it should work for the desktop. There are some exceptions for some brand new games. But if you want to wait a week or two for new releases usually it’s fine.

Get some Darn Tough socks! I’ve been using them for years and outside of the initial purchase I’ve been rocking free socks!

I have a sit/stand desk and it’s great. I feel like my posture has improved and being on my feet all day bothers me less. I really want to get a small treadmill so I can walk and work. That would be the dream.

They do. Just not 3rd party.

I’m loving it. But most of the people I talk to were put off by eternal. It’s more of that Soni can get people not picking it up for it’s very expensive cost currently.

People are upset about doom. I’m enjoying it, the engine is crazy cool and I love how badass I feel playing it. I get that it’s not a super long game, but I’m ok with that. I like just hopping in, murdering demons and being badass for short periods of time.
