Honestly, going 27 years (of gaming), and I never was smarter and quicker to make tactical decisions. My hand may move slower, but I don't rely on dexterity when flanking your cover.
I’m 45 and have been playing games relentlessly for 30 years now. My hands are destroyed. I can barely use controllers, my thumbs hardly work. Can’t click the space bar the arthritis is so bad. Hades and Sekiro were major culprits, button-mashing and parry precision intensity. I still play of course but it’s difficult, slow, and I just can’t play those high-action twitch reflex games anymore. Good thing there is endless games that are easier on the hands!
Have to relate to this somewhat, it’s hard to find time or interest to practice fighting games with all the accumulated responsibilities of being responsible adult and a parent. While boomer reaction time checks are one thing, the bigger problem is having to practice against multiple different matchups in 3-4 different games. Probably should play these online a lot more, currently mostly playing on locals few hours once a week.
Making great progress! Bill is such a great character. He’s turned his town into a fortress occupied only by him. Sounds great until you realize he’s been alone for years. It’s less of a fortress and more of a prison and, with the way he talks to himself, you get the sense that the isolation is starting to wear on him. Even then, when given the opportunity to leave, he doesn’t. He’s going to die alone in that place because he sees trusting others as a weakness. Something he tries to impress onto Joel. But does Joel want to be like Bill? Does he want to be like Tess? Such a great chapter!
I really liked Bill, but yeah. His loneliness definitely seems to be taking a toll. It’s weird because this is the second character named Bill i’ve seen that his loneliness problems
Night and day difference between game Bill and show Bill, too. Both characters are interesting explorations of attachment vs isolation in their own ways.
World Rally Championship in the arcade was my first experience and have been a fan ever since. Even though I have EA WRC, Dirt Rally games and a wheel/pedal setup I mostly play Art of Rally.
I do not game on Linux exclusively, but I am very comfortable with this situation. Imagine being reliant on epic games instead. Valve is actively working on gaming on Linux and they should earn some money for the efforts, software doesn’t maintain itself… yet.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer - street racing game set on Tokyo’s highway network and featuring a lor of JDM cars. Sim-cadey physics, great progression loop, nice graphics.
Motortown - not a racing game as such, more of a “drive anything” game that also festures some racing, among cargo hauling, buses, vehicle rescuing and others. Still in early acces but amazingly complete for an early access game. Great physics on this one, too. The developer is also very active and open to feedback.
Edit: Ooh almost forgot! Dakar Desert Rally - the single most realistic rally raid sim I’ve played. Looks and feels great. Just watch out for CTDs, because you’ll see plenty.
Has anyone had any luck replicating their Proton setup outside of Steam? Or simply just running a Proton game outside of Steam after getting it set up using Steam?
I have run many Windows games outside of Steam.
I prefer to set up each one manually: Create a Wine prefix, install the game (or copy it from an existing installation), install a few key libraries like DXVK and a Visual C++ runtime, make a launch script with game-specific environment settings or launch options. Tools like Lutris and Bottles can automate much of this, in case you need a little help or just find a GUI more convenient.
This is my usual approach to non-Steam games (especially GOG), but even Steam games can be convinced to work offline with the help of a Steam emulator. It wouldn’t work with a game encumbered by DRM (e.g. Denuvo) unless a cracked version could be located, but in my experience, that’s a minority of Steam games that I categorically avoid in the first place.
So, I’m not worried about my game library vanishing if I ever lose access to Steam for whatever reason. Most (if not all) of it could be recovered with a bit of effort.
