Lucidlethargy, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

No, I do not plan to jump to Linux, which doesn’t play many games still without a lot of headaches. Any other questions?

Yes, I do have questions, why?

why do you care about those games so much when 90% (actually more I think) work perfectly and the few that don’t fail because they have malware?

I upgraded to Windows 11.

I tried Linux but but so much stuff isn’t supported so I got rid of it.

histic,

What other then adobe and rootkit anti cheat’s don’t work

crusa187,

For gaming, It’s mostly niche windows things in my experience. In my case I opted to stay on linux anyway. Also worth noting, I find that outside of gaming linux is superior for work and general pc use.

Some manufacturer programs for doing things like mouse macros or controlling LED lighting, auto hotkey scripts, some types of overlays tied to directx apis (yolomouse), etc. These things don’t and probably will never work. I think some of them might if you really know your stuff with wine, but that usually ends up being dependency hell for me and I give up more often than succeeding when trying to force a windows native program to run.

histic,

For the first 2 there are 3rd party programs for it the rest yea probably won’t work

crusa187,

Yeah I’m aware of openrgb, it has limited compatibility but seems to work ok for most of my stuff. Still haven’t found a great way to run my favorite corsair keyboard reactive lighting theme I had setup with their software in windows, but what I came up with in openrgb is good enough.

However, I didn’t think it was possible to run autoIt or autoHotkey at all in Linux. Are you suggesting a Python script to replace it, or something else? AHK has a very peculiar syntax which I don’t believe would translate well to other languages.

histic,

Depends if your on x11 or Wayland ahk does have a port to x11 scripts do require modification otherwise ydotool is available on Wayland I haven’t done much research into it but appears it can do a lot of what you might want

crusa187,

Hey that’s pretty cool, I happen to be on x11 still but plan to switch to Wayland once Cosmic is in beta.

This is great info, will look into this further. Ty!

Tattorack, do games w I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists?
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Crash Nitro Kart. Still stuck in exclusivity hell. Also salty Toys For Bob got canned for no good reasons.

nyctre, do games w Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

I often use cheats to remove grindy and boring bits beyond a certain point. Usually the difficulty curve is pretty bad and a game is only hard or challenging in the beginning. So I play as intended until I reach a point at which it’s just a matter of time and not skill. So I just give myself a ton of crafting mats or currency or whatever so I can focus on the fun and interesting parts of the game.

Ephera, do games w Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

This is a very mild violation, but I like to play these puzzles: www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/
…except that I create a custom difficulty level which is quite a step below the easiest difficulty and then I almost rather speedrun the puzzles.

The Rectangles puzzle at 5x5 size has been my crack for the past months and I’m at about 13 seconds now (using my phone as input).

I mean, it’s very casual speedrunning. No one cares about my time, so I actually never timed myself before just now. But yeah, I just like the different challenge of thinking fast rather than complex.

tatann, do games w Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

I played stealth games like Hitman like a mass murderer.

I also play the “infiltrator” class in Mass Effect without tactical cloak. I mean it’s a mix of soldier and engineer, why should it be focused on stealth ?

AceFuzzLord,

Absolutely a fun way to play Hitman. Definitely makes the game so much more fun, especially if you are playing on a crowded map and are trying to take out every single person possible without dying on harder difficulties.

We don’t need stealth where we’re going!

DrSteveBrule,

My cousin and I spent a summer messing around in hitman blood money when we were younger. There’s a level that takes place in a neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. We managed to kill every single npc undetected with the snare wire and dump theoe bodies into the sewer to leave no evidence. After each level, the game generates a newspaper article to describe the events and it basically said everyone in the neighborhood just vanished.

MudMan, (edited ) do games w Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

Hah. As a kid I used to just hang out or make up stories in Lucasarts games, like Monkey Island and especially Maniac Mansion. I know I wasn't alone, because there were multipe contemporary games built around that idea, including form Lucas, even before The Sims came out. Toe Jam and Earl 2: Panic on Funkotron was also a good, weird roleplaying avenue.

And I did engage in some amount of "let's make my house in this map editor" back when games came with map editors. We all did, I think.

Oh, and some games I'd play just to listen to the music. It's hard to argue this was unintended, though, given how many games had sound test modes. I remember I'd fire up Panzer Dragoon just to gawk at the intro, which I realize seems silly if you look at it now.

pinball_wizard,

Panic on Funkotron is a great for that. It has light platforming, chill vibes, and great tunes. It’s a great game world to just hang out in.

MudMan,

It has tons of emotes (or things that can double as emotes) and multiplayer. In a world where making game characters expressive was not a thing, much less at the player's command, they felt like puppets.

Maestro,

I fondly remember when my parents bought a new house that had yet to be built. I took all the drawings and made a Doom map so I could show my parents what their house would look like.

I used to play Jet Moto solely to do tricks. I remember there being level geometry that could send you hundreds of feet in the air.

Coelacanth, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Okay this is a little off script since it’s not an open world game, but if you’re only looking for satisfying movement you should take a look at Neon White. Just be warned that the writing is… on the cringier side. But that doesn’t really matter in the end.

Do any of them other than the first two (Wolf 3D and Spear of Destiny) actually have Hitler as a boss fight?

Spacehooks,

Latest do not. Hilter is new colossus.

Zahille7,

You can still absolutely shoot him in the head, although it basically means mission fail.

MilitantAtheist,

Fail… not sure, I did it a lot of times. Didn’t feel like failure.

Zahille7,

Well it doesn’t actually fail the mission, but everyone in the room immediately starts blasting with their big automatic weapons and all you have is a pistol with literally no cover to hide behind.

I do love that the game just lets you go for it though.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I’ll take that challenge.

Sniper Elite baby.

Edit: Sniper Elite 4
