YES.

Can’t wait to play this game, even if it means mere 20 minutes before going to sleep…

I can’t tell if you’re a kid with a bedtime or you’re very conscious of your sleep schedule.

Ha, gotta love regaining a bedtime to set a good example!

I hope that Starfield is going to be so good, I will be happy to sacrifice a few minutes of rest to play it. 😬

You can probably change your region to New Zealand on your Xbox and play early. I’ve done it successfully for other releases.

Thank you.

It is my firm belief that Bethesda’s games shouldn’t be tried in less than 3-4 months after their release, due to problems, unpatched bugs and the lack of mods that address some weird design choices. I can wait for that long, especially since I’m so tired these days that I forget what’s my name sometimes… 😉

ominouslemon,

Heck, not only Bethesda games. I do that for all games basically

jesterraiin,
@jesterraiin@lemmy.world avatar

Logical.

Imagine if all/the majority/plenty enough of players would do that - the prices of the games would fall down, there would be less crap on the market and certainly, there would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less occurrences like the release of Cyberpunk…

ominouslemon,

And don’t get me started on preorders!

dan1101,

I might take the day off to play it, I took the day off for Distant Worlds 2 and had a blast. Self-care day. ;)

You’re good people, man.

ratz30, do games w where do yall go for your gaming coverage/pods?

Castle Super Beast has long been my go to gaming and pop culture podcast.

McDuders, do games w where do yall go for your gaming coverage/pods?

Jesse Cox has 5 Minute Gaming News that lists news into little bite-sized chunks that I can handle every weekday. Used to love Jesse on the Cooptional and Cox n Crendor podcasts so I like listening to him.

Also every Friday Crendor is featured on the Cren Minute where he talks about whatever he wants and its the most redundant and hilarious thing to me.

And shoutouts to Lyle Wrath’s hilarious Pregame Discharge show where he lays out the news in an extreme and absurd way. Used to be weekly but now kind of forced to be monthly after Destructoid dropped it.

Hyggyldy,

Nice to see Jesse mentioned. I love his entire sphere of friends.

NoStressyJessie, do piracy w [Question] If using linux , where are your sources of games and what are cs.rin.ru clean steam files and how to use them?

When you pirate on Linux it’s up to you to make sure you are running it in a compatible environment. Checking protonDB and other sources may show you some workarounds you will need. The other way to do this is to open the game in a terminal, try to run it, look for errors or missing .so files or other things in the terminal output, and use that as a starting point to figure out where you need to go to get it configured the rest of the way.

Lutris scripts and the like do not use pirated sources on purpose, so you are very much on your own with it.

inverimus, do piracy w [Question] If using linux , where are your sources of games and what are cs.rin.ru clean steam files and how to use them?

You will find it very difficult to get help with game piracy on linux just because the community is very small. If the game has a native release it will be even harder since most linux users want to support developers that do native releases. I’ve only ever tried a couple games that I had no problems with and that was a few years ago. These days if it has a native release I will always just buy it.

KDE,

I do get that point , but I don’t want to lie I am preety broke who lives in a third world country I am simply unable to afford such luxury of buying games

soulsource, do gaming w What are some open source games you can recommend for Linux?
@soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I have to second the mentions of OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth, Ur-Quan Masters and Nethack.

I’d also like to add:

  • Widelands: A Settlers 2 clone.
  • Chromium B.S.U.: A top-down scrolling shooter. Don’t let any enemies pass. Perfect if you need 5 minutes of adrenaline.
  • Scorched 3D: It’s Scorched Earth, but 3D.
  • Frozen Bubble: Hard to describe. It’s a bit like Dr. Mario.
  • GL-117: 3D air combat. The graphics are “a bit” dated, but the game is a lot of fun still.
  • Kobo Deluxe: A 2D action-puzzler. It doesn’t have the most stunning graphics, but it sure is fun to play.

Then there are also some open-source re-implementations of commercial games (that need the original game files) that haven’t been mentioned yet:

I’ve given up on multiplayer. Too many kids that apparently had relations with my mom.

Green_Bay_Guy, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

Steam, since they have regional pricing and support in my country.

If GOG develops their own Linux client I might swap. Until then I’ll be on Steam.

Keep in mind that this list contains both full games and engines for closed source games.

I’m baffled how people can constantly find new games to play. If I find myself enjoying a multiplayer game I’ll stick with it for years to come

espiritu_p, do gaming w What are some open source games you can recommend for Linux?

I haven't seen OpenTTD mentioned yet: https://www.openttd.org/
If you like it you may also check out OpenRCT - although this one needs original game files from RollerCoasterTycoon (a few bucks on Gog or Steam)
