Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve recently moved to daily driving Linux and went Bazzite for the gaming element (which I’ve since only somewhat used, lol).
Haven’t dove into the bits and pieces that really make the games work much yet, had no idea Lutris was all this! Particularly the wider library management / enablement, the very thing the dev called out as not well known lol.
AND I was very happy to find out it’s all Python! That’s my bread and butter (and it’s delicious), I may just have to do a wee bit of dev’in someday too. If I ever get around to the games lol
AND I was very happy to find out it’s all Python! That’s my bread and butter (and it’s delicious)
I keep telling the developer of Junk Store that Python is the bee’s knees, but since he is neck-deep in common lisp these days he keeps dismissing my adoration of Python!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this, you’re the exact user this kind of thing I try arrange is for! And welcome to daily driving Linux, I do hope you settle in and stick around for the long haul :)
I’ll make sure Mathieu sees your happy comment here, again, so happy you enjoyed this!!!
I just bought two oldish business class Dell laptops this last week and put Bazzite on em both, for the fam. Easing out our Chromebooks we’ve used for minor things, just can’t abide a machine that won’t let me actually own it anymore, with the way the world’s going.
Not exactly revolutionary lol, but your enthusiasm demanded something in response, so I wanted to let you know that we (and I bet lots of others!) are all in. And I really hope you keep doing stuff like this!!
If I haven’t contributed something to Lutris by this year’s Hacktoberfest, by golly I’m committing (heh) to putting an open issue to rest during best month.
i was helping a friend setup Daggerfall Unity earlier a few hours ago and he sent me the same mod lol. I added Dynamic skies today along with a few city ones and i meant to add that but i need to mess with my other mods first. Somehow I’ve already fucked things up because half of The city of Daggerfall is now missing
Flavio: "The guys from GOG are great, and they contacted me directly once to talk about Heroic, and they totally support the project and what we are doing, especially on Linux. I would say we have a really good relationship with them."
Paweł: "Adding to what Flavio said, we currently have the affiliate deal with GOG, so any purchases made using our link support the project financially."
Huh. I didn't know this. This seems like a big deal. Makes me even more willing to consider Heroic's GOG support semi-official, considering they support autopatching and cloud saves under GOG. It really feels close-to-native, especially given how sluggish Galaxy can be on Windows for large libraries.
I think CS:2 was far too ambitious, and there were very strange design choices around subsidies which effectively removed any challenge from the game – at first. I just played it the other day, and frankly it has turned around a lot. Decent game now.
KSP2 was just a corporate shit show – devs were well intentioned but ultimately were unable to continue based on factors out of their control. It really sucks because KSP1 is one of the best games ever made and KSP2 had a lot of promise.
Is this a law that specifically only applies to AAAs, or are we just shutting down literally all of indie gaming? If the former, how do you legally draw the line between who is and isn't allowed to release digital-only titles? Even just basing it on the size of the company would effectively mean that large publishers may only release large projects and never smaller budget titles.
To be fair, they haven’t managed to put out a whole hell of a lot that’s actually compelling in the intervening years that weren’t rereleases. “Hey guys, DAE remember Resident Evil 4? The good one? We just re-re-re-released it. And some old Megaman games you already have. Full price!”
That seems pretty reductive IMO. Like RE7 and RE8 are genuinely good returns to form for the series. The RE2 and RE4 releases are remakes which by most standards improve the original releases and bring them into the current generation.
Then throw in the Phoenix Wright games, Monster Hunter games, Dragon’s Dogma games, Street Fighter games, DMC…
I would argue Capcom has been on a tear of very good games, especially in the last 5 years.
It’s a great trio of games (Legends 1 and 2, and the Misadventures of Tron Bonne) with quite a bit of depth and if you ask me a fantastic art direction for their time. The one thing I will say is that the controls did not age very well. You get used to it after a while. These games predate modern dual-stick movement and aiming and use the shoulder buttons for strafing. I think the Playstation versions are superior due to the increased number of buttons available on the controller.
Yeah, I came to mention this one specifically. The Legends series was incredible at the time, and there was a lot of potential for a third game with more modern controls. But instead, Capcom has made it clear that they intend to simply sit on the IP and never do anything with it.
I brought the switch version thinking " I’ll be able to play Skyrim where I want! Where I want ended up being just when I was on the toilet. Thankfully it’s free on Xbox so I don’t buy it again.
