Super Metroid will always be my favourite. I also enjoyed Axiom Verge and Bloodstained ROTN.

I generally like shorter Metroidvania like Iconoclasts and some of the Shantae series or even Yoku’s Island Express which has some backtracking.

The Metroidvania tag is a bit like Dubstep in music, a lot of those Dubstep tracks aren’t Dubstep but they can still be fun for some people.

mika_mika,

Metroidvania tag and roguelike tags have become so diluted as descriptors I have no idea what I’m getting anymore when I see them on an “indie title”.

Just so it’s not forgotten to time I want to recommend AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). It’s basically what if Metroid 2 was made in the Super Metroid engine.

I’d recommend any of the 2D Metroids, but if you’re going to play Metroid 2, that’s the version to play.

I don’t know if it’s “favorite”, but an old classic was Aquaria. It had a surprising amount of content, even to the point of several secret bosses, and an absolutely excellent soundtrack. Sadly, the main guy behind it is dead now. Ori was also fantastic.

Emperor, do games w Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM?

Tuxedo Computers ship Linux 😀

I’d recommend something AMD if you want fast and stable graphics drivers.

Holytimes,

As long as it’s a 3xxx or 4xxx Nvidia card honestly its just as good as Nvidia now as long as you arnt being dumb and trying to use Debian or mint or something that has a massively out of date kernel on a new laptop.

orochi02,

So is mint Bad for newer machines?

Emperor,

I had a 3060 and the support for wayland was just terrible.

Loads of games didn’t work on proton or ran terribly.

Moment I switch to AMD on Linux I have not had any crashes, and games run out of the box with good performance.

Just my experience, there is no real reason why most people need nvidia GPUs on Linux. The vram is small, and prices often don’t compete well with AMD.

CUDA and other media stuff is usually a strawman as most people literally never it. If you need that desktop with SSH is much better value for money.

Katana314,

Hm. I’ve got an Nvidia card on Cachyos, and it’s all been fine so far.

I had an issue where an upgrade broke my drivers, but that turned out to be my fault from poor understanding.

happeningtofry99158,

What other GPU options are available for Linux? Or does gaming with Proton simply require a powerful AMD CPU?

Emperor,

AMD drivers for linux are simply superior in the same class. See the new Gamer’s Nexus video. The 9070xt beats the 5090 not just once.

The CPU matters, but the drivers on AMD support linux much better.

If you’ve got the dough a AMD 395 with 128GiB is the best thing you can get for mobile linux imo.

j_z,

I run a tuxedo both at home and for work. Build quality and support isn’t that great but you can’t get more specs for the money

Whoa there, unpopular opinions belong in a different community you absolutely incorrect person.

Grass,

I dunno man, the flip flopping on the weird cortana fixation got old fast

sleep_deprived,

That was 4 and beyond, really. Cortana isn’t even in 3 except little snippets until you grab her from High Charity in the second to last level.

Grass,

It must have been me hoping that cortana would reprise her role in 3… aside from odst and seemingly reach, the only thing I remember is how much of a slog the cortana hallucinations or whatever that was and the didact part being somehow even less enjoyable

Harvey656,
@Harvey656@lemmy.world avatar

Wasn’t that 4 and 5?

sleep_deprived,

Whoa, 3 and ODST absolutely rule, and Reach is great if you aren’t a purist. Especially Reach’s forge mode, that shit was the bee’s knees back in the day

Grass,

I wasn’t inlcuding odst, and was reach the one that opens in a helicopter with the invisible elite on the ground? Those get a pass. None of the numbered releases after 2 did it for me though

Xttweaponttx,

Perfectly said. God Reach’s multiplayer holds up well

IndustryStandard, do games w Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

I was expecting an APU

4am,

…and you got one.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

AFAIK: It depends.
The Cube: No
The VR headset: Yes. But it’s rather an SoC.

ms_lane,

No, the Steam Machine has a CPU and a pcie GPU.

Even if you could argue Raphael was an ‘apu’ since it has the 2CU GPU, those are lasered off on Steam Machine’s CPU.

mnemonicmonkeys,

And honestly, we probably should have expected this from the leaked benchmarks. It was already showing hits of using a separate 7600

rafoix, do games w Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

I wonder if GPU/motherboard manufacturers are not leaving money on the table by not selling an all-in-one gaming motherboard like the one in the Steam Machine.

Built-in GPU and VRAM with the CPU, RAM and cooling optional.

4am,

Why would anyone who’s in the market for a by-itself motherboard ever want something you can get as a modular piece as a built-in to another expensive piece?

Besides, if you want everything soldered on you can just buy a laptop motherboard.

Or a Mac

rafoix,

For the same reason there’s other options. Having options alone is more than enough reason.

A motherboard with a built-in GPU has obvious price, cooling design and size advantages.

The only things I suggest to be soldered are the GPU and the VRAM since GPUs are extremely sensitive to their memory setup. CPUs can use off-the-shelf stuff without issue.

ms_lane,

The niche is already filled by NUC sized PCs from China.

rafoix,

Where would one be able to see their stock? All I seem to find are $1500 PCs.

punkibas,

Try at minisforum or beelink

rafoix, (edited )

I will, thanks.

Edit

Those are just mini APU based PCs meant for office work. Not really compact gaming PCs with integrated GPUs.

echodot,

For the same reason that people are interested in the steam machine. It’s nice to be able to just throw some money at people and get a complete product. I can see businesses getting these things if they need a moderately powerful GPU for business reasons. Unless valve go utterly mad on the pricing here, it’s going to be much better value for money than a Mac mini, and it’ll have better compatibility with existing software as well.

rafoix,

“I’m not interested in that product. It is impossible for someone to be interested in that product.”

olafurp,

On the steam hardware page it says the CPU and GPU are discrete although also “semi-custom” which I think means it’s not Gigabyte and has some cooling features that are tailored to the form factor.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Built-in GPU and VRAM with the CPU, RAM and cooling optional.

I don’t think that’d be a wise idea. After watching Valve interviews, it’s clear that they designed the entire system around a specific max TDP. Apparently they figured out the TDP, picked a fan to move it, then designed the rest of the cooling system based on that.

If you start swapping out different CPU’s that’ll change the TDP and very quickly become a problem. Plus, the CPU is soldered to the board. Having a socket to allow for swapping would require a redesign of the cooling to account for the increased height

rafoix,

Yeah, it would probably be a better idea for AMD to sell variants of the APUs being used in the current generation of Xbox and PlayStation.

My guess is that those chips are under exclusivity contracts and/or they don’t want to undercut their lucrative discrete GPU and CPU market.

Why sell one efficient product when you can sell two more expensive ones?

Yeah they said they are pricing the Steam Machine at PC market prices, but they do having to contend with reality. There are consoles on the market that are more powerful at a lower price point, it will dampen their sales for sure. I mean most pcgamers probably have more powerful hardware already, what is the incentive? Sure small form factor, but is it worth a premium price to the average pcgamer? Console peasants will turn their noses up at it, so who are they marketing to?

I can see the Steam Frames selling better due to it being a fully untethered VRPC headset that can play more than just VR games. Not to mention you can stream from a more powerful PC to the frames making the battery last much longer and better gfx fidelity.

The Steam Controller has to contend with a flooded market of users used to using one type of controller, so a little bit of an uphill battle there too.

@xxd@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

According to Valve, it should outperform or match 70% of current PCs owned by gamers. So while not crazy powerful, it might be an affordable (hopefully) upgrade for some more low spec gamers.

I like your posts on the games you’re playing Atticus. And you’re 100% right, people have become much more willing to show how shitty they are. I think they’re more willing because they see how people can still succeed while openly being shitty people, so they no longer assume that being inhuman impedes their personal success.

The only positive I can think of is that it least this makes shitty people easier to point out. It doesn’t make them easier to avoid because we’re unfortunately all bound to cross paths with them.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Some of them I wonder if they got burned trying to be good people once and then just let that sour all their opinions. I suppose that’s a bit of an edgy “all it takes is one bad day” take, but it is something I’ve wondered.

I do agree a lot with your take though. Shitty and horrible people have realized they can get away with being shitty and horrible. So they don’t hide it. Maybe it’s just the cost of me growing up but it’s disheartening to see it happening with so many people.

As you said, it at least makes it easier to root them out, even if we’re forced to interact with them

BeerEnjoyer, do games w Winter burrow SBI controversy

Can’t wait to see this game top the charts so all the anti-woke chuds will say “well it wasn’t woke to begin with, that’s why it sells well!”

Isolde,

People have lost the plot. It seems like a great cozy game with triple A quality. As someone who loves cozy games, there haven’t been too many to pick from recently. I think the current president has empowered shite people to believe their awful opinions should be honored. Like I said, unless buying this is putting blood money in someone’s hands I’m getting it come noon today. I absolutely think this game is going to win awards, and it looks like the kind with a story soft enough to make me cry.
