randomaside, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?
@randomaside@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I keep recommending BazziteOS but Jorge Castro over at the universal Blue project has a really good point “Most people don’t install their operating systems” and that plain fact is what stops people from moving to Linux.

Valve has momentum because they are selling you a system with the OS already on it. Sell more gaming PCs with pre installed Linux on it and the support will follow. Valve’s first attempt at getting Linux based gaming hardware out there failed but that didn’t stop them and the real push is coming this time.

If you do install your OS (most people here have once or twice), try Bazzite out. I’m running it on the minisforum Bd790i with a radeon 7800xt and it works great!

Cris16228, (edited ) do games w I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists?
  1. Astrobot: Yeah I know is exclusive because PlayStation BUT I would love to play it on PC ¯_(ツ)_/¯
  2. Infamous: Second son: Loved in when I watched a gameplay but it’s a share it was never released on PC
  3. All the Pokémon games? Never happening tho
fargeol, do games w Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?
@fargeol@lemmy.world avatar

I did that with RTS like Starcraft or Age of Empires II. I would just build a city, develop every upgrade, build good defenses and basically play it like Sim City

illi, do games w Silksong announced for 2025 on the Nintendo Direct

Wasn’t it among the games shown somewhere where they staded all games shown will be “releasing within a year” well over a year ago?

Carnelian,

Xbox did that I think in like 2022-2023

illi,

I believe that’s what I was thinking of, thanks

Abnorc,

Yeah that’s why I doubt this. It’s the same thing we heard before. I’d love to be wrong though!

Carnelian,

Nah it’s totally different this time around.

For starters Leth acknowledged Nintendo’s tweet about it by retweeting it, and setting his profile background to the new key art (which was provided by TC themselves)

TC also provided four new screenshots of the game to Nintendo as part of a press kit.

The xbox situation was literally never acknowledged by them at all, except for when Leth ultimately posted that it wasn’t happening lol. Apparently just based on estimates that TC had communicated with them privately, and only ever “confirmed” by a single social media person at Microsoft

This isn’t some random Nintendo direct, but rather THE big event for their big console. And also officially and immediately supported by TC this time around. This is 100% an intentional press rollout

mesamunefire, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #8

You can't go wrong with supergiant. Their music and games are awesome. Hades 2 works great on the SD.

wcSyndrome,

Love to see the transistor rec in 2025

DigDoug, do games w GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

I like what GOG do, but gating features, even niche ones, behind a subscription sounds like the first step towards enshittification.

Also, I’m sure as hell not giving them extra money until they fix their platform on Linux/Steam Deck.

recall519, do games w GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

How about GOG Galaxy on Linux?

atro_city, do games w GOG seems to be considering paid membership option

I wish they worked with opensource projects like Heroic to provide an easy and fast way to run their games on Linux like in Steam. And if they provided a donation option or something to fund that work.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

They do that already. They’re partnered with Heroic. If you buy GOG games through Heroic, Heroic gets a cut of that sale using a referral code program like you’d see in other stores. It gives Heroic some cash, and it gives GOG a line of sight into exactly how much revenue they’re missing out on by not building the Linux launcher themselves. This is what got me to start buying from GOG again.

atro_city,

Oh shit, really? Do you have a source for that?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/…/v2.13.0

We also started a partnership with GOG and now every game you buy from the GOG store inside Heroic will give us a commission, so it is another way of supporting the project. :)

The link is also available at heroicgameslauncher.com/donate if you prefer to purchase games in your web browser.

atro_city,

Awesome, thank you!

Faydaikin, do gaming w What game do you really want to play, but haven't yet because you feel it in your soul that it will get a remake/remaster soon enough?
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

I would never hold off on playing a game for a remake/remaster.

I love my oldies.

Same. I just setup RomM and I’m having fun playing snes and arcade games in my browser.

PoopMonster, do games w Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me?

I felt this way after playing God of War 2018 and ragnarok. Everything else just felt pretty boring for a while. Currently enjoying my first play through of Red Dead Redemption 2.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

You lucky bastard.

I’ve got my issues with RDR2, but definitely not with the writing and performances.

orins, (edited ) do games w Skill issue

That’s an interesting study. It makes sense that dominance-seeking behavior follows a ‘low-risk, high-reward’ strategy across species. The connection between status, objectification, and primate behavior is fascinating Morse Code Translator—wonder if similar patterns appear in different cultural contexts.

ameancow,

Just remember that evolutionary biology is largely considered quack science, often by evolutionary biologists themselves (at least in terms of how ev-bio is used to write papers and books about how horny men and women act in bars, and why your Tinder profile isn’t working and what it “means” when she texts you a certain way.)

TORFdot0, do games w Upscaling is actually good (as an option)

Upscaling an old game on fixed hardware that can’t output at high resolutions is good.

Upscaling a new game as part of the graphics pipeline instead of optimizing it is terrible and shouldn’t be accepted by gamers that have to spend $1000+ on a GPU

ZombiFrancis, do gaming w Tetris

A lot of people talking about the arcade component, but Tetris was the original shareware. It was a phenomena that spread through the USSR until it touched a British entrepreneur. It didn’t even keep score originally.

Wilmo, do games w Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today

I was really hoping for a PSVR2 port of Alyx, and the timing with a lot of PS games coming to Steam had my theorizing that was a compromise they made with Valve to make it happen but I think that was just wishful thinking now.

tacofox,

Whoa. A bit off from your point but I was going to say if you could use the psvr2 on pc it would have sold a lot better. Turns out Sony seemingly shadow dropped a pc adapter and now you can!

Honestly if that was a launch feature I would have probably bought one since ps5 doesn’t really have a compelling library for it to be worth it alone. Now I’m too broke to justify it :(

Acester47,

That’s actually how I played hl2 Alyx! Great headset, game was awesome. Wish there were more games of the same quality

Lv_InSaNe_vL,

PSVR2 works on PC now :)

rockerface, do games w One-handed games?

Balatro is turn-based and is easy enough to control. I myself play on mobile, but Steam Deck shouldn’t be very different.
