The worst kind of an Internet-herpaderp. Internet-urpo pahimmasta päästä.
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).
you know what you need to do, start drawing.
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?
An absolute banger of a management/“sim” game. My all time favorites.
Worth noting that while ottd (the free one) does the same thing, you can use the original assets (graphics, sounds, music) with it. The og soundtrack is absolutely masterpiece of latin influenced midi jazz.
All good and fair when it comes to a bit of banter :)
Besides, the game sets unrealistic expectations as the characters actually talk.
are you sure they’re not just… Finnish?
heh, kinda fair, tbh. But then again, so am I, and it still feels like watching aliens :D
Started playing Rauniot - a post-apocalyptic isometric point&click adventure game set in Lapland. Only few hours in and the vibes are great, although the voice acting and dialogue feels … I dunno, it’s not “bad”, but it feels a bit “off”, like it’s written by “semi-edgy artsyfartsy” type, and the dialogue is performed by aliens who only got the tldr version of how to act human.
Visually the game looks quite a bit like Fallout 1 and 2, just with higher colordepth and resolution. Sound (apart from dialogue) is pretty ambient. So all good in my books. And I gotta respect the absolutely slamming metal tune the main character is blasting in their car during the intro sequence. Hell. Yea. \,,/
Puzzles have been mostly “find a tool to do x”, some items (eg. a rope in the first screen of the game) do blend into the background, so hovering over everything on the screen is a must. Interactables are highlighted in yellow outline, which on some cases can be really soft and it blends to the apocalyptic colorpalette of sepia/brown/gray surprisingly well, but at least all interactable things have a soundeffect when hovered with a mouse.
Gotta play more, I do want to see where it goes with the story and puzzles later on.
So I keep hearing. Here’s hoping it ends up being the case.
Switched entirely over to linux mid-cyberpunk playthrough and the game just about barely holds 60 fps in places where it used to be in the 90’s on Windows. :P
This driver had the vk heap descriptor -thingydoods? does DXVK or VKD3D have those implemented yet?
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.
Depends really on the games and software you require.
For games, check:
In general, indies and singleplayer games generally work fine. Battlefield/Fortnite/etc hugely popular multiplayer stuff with kernel-level anticheats generally doesn’t.
I’ve only ever set up few printers to work on linux, and they’ve been bigger office printers. And they’ve all worked with minimal effort. Absolutely no idea about home printers.
edit: as for windows software support, generally win-apps run on wine. Some really well, some with issues, and then some just dont. Afaik eg. ancient versions of Photoshop run, more recent ones don’t.
I run a windows version of a music software (renoise) because my effects/instruments have only windows versions. It works, but performance isn’t quite as good as it was on actual windows.
doing everything in one playthrough is not the same as softlocking the game. Exclude one path, sure. Softlock? Bullshit.
No doubt about it. Still feels bad to step on those landmines. :P
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.
