I can't afford a new computer right now and tariffs meaning higher prices means I can't anticipate affording one in the near future. My plan is to see where everything's at when they stop doing updates. Unfortunately.
I'm somewhat open to the idea, but the thought of messing up and not having any computer other than my phone until i figure it out is tough to get over.
If you can install another driver onto the computer, you can put Linux on that and kept the windows OS still, in case you need it. This is dual booting. You chose which OS you want when booting up.
Is this something that's relatively fool proof to do? I'm very good at imagining disasters. That's the big mental block I got when I thought about dual booting before.
note that you should absolutely make a backup of all your important files before you muck about with installing different operating systems, it will wipe your drive, so, yeah.
if you do that and have both on a ventoy usb it is pretty much impossible to fuck something up
As long as you go with a mainstream distro you can’t really mess it up if you play games try bazzite it’s a atomic distro so it’s hard to break since the system files are read only and if an update breaks it has a duplicate file system to fall back on from before the update and is just as easy if not easier then windows to install
I will and have done this thing where I will wait until Microsoft has enough of their head out of their ass to make another decent Windows version again, before I consider hopping to it. They're due to make one sometime soon, don't they? They'll soon realize Windows 11 like 8, Vista and ME before it, was a stupid idea and do something nicer for Windows 12 or whatever they do with Windows next after 11. Windows 11 is already like 4 years old and one of its versions is going to expire next year. What will they do then?
Linux doesn't have my full attention because I don't think it'll run everything I use for Windows. My user activity/behavior is slowing down to where I'm probably a casual user at best who does the bare minimum. Yet, there's things I'd like to run without having to use third party software as a bridge to get to what I want to run as simple as it would if it was on Windows with a simple click or two. Oh and not to mention, hardware driver and support with Linux is one of my major concerns and I don't think there's a Linux driver for every piece of my hardware.
Well I see it I repos and app stores, not real sure of the development, last update on the Google store was Feb 2024. Still seems to work when I’ve played with it
Sunshine is still very much in active development for the server side of things, and the client app is also still active. Both seem to still work flawlessly in Windows and Linux on Nvidia cards for me, and as far as I know there’s very solid support for AMD cards as well.
Yeah, 18k games, but a lot of that is going to be shovelware. Steam has a big issue with shovelware designed to look like a good deal. They’ll release like 25 games, one will be priced at like $100, with the rest priced at like 50¢.
Then they do a publisher bundle, which marks all of those 50¢ games down by like 90%, but doesn’t touch the pricey game. So on the surface, the bundle is marked as like $100 for 25 games, at 87% off. Looks like a great deal. When in reality it’s just 24 cheap games marked down, and one super expensive game. And all of them will be shovelware. But it’ll be enough to fool anyone who doesn’t bother to dig into the actual bundle details.
Mindustry It goes from a tower defense game to a logistics game for me Forget enemies, How can I haul the most amount of shit down data pipelines without letting a single container hold items for too long? My worlds are just a absolute mess of conveyor belts going everywhere, transport drones coming and going, items being produced, used, machined and consumed everywhere And the only purpose is to give me more endpoints to grow it
I gave Mindustry a shot and faded out at the tower defense bit of the tutorial. I do like !automationgames even though tower defense is not my thing, so I’m wondering: how do you manage to forget enemies and just make it a logistics game?
Not AkatsukiLevi, but probably just finish the enemy waves/bases as fast as possible, followed by tearing everything down and rebuilding for maximum efficiency since you can always leave and come back without ever having to worry about enemies after clearing a level*.
*assuming there isn’t a feature where enemies can respawn and retake levels that I haven’t reached far enough to find exists
Nah, custom game. Edit a existing map to have 0 waves and you’re Gucci In campaign tho, I have found there’s a few commands you can use to instantly conquer a map. It’s cheating, but it let’s me focus on what I want
The price is too high. They are going to sell skins and characters. The game is going to be fluffed with open world sections instead of actual content. I probably won’t enjoy it.
Looks pretty different from any game we’ve seen yet. I guess they made it that way since mk8 is already compatible with the new console, so it needs to be something other than “yet another Mario Kart” to not be overshadowed by 8.
Maybe I’ll pick it up in a couple years, but there’s still more than enough games I haven’t played on the Switch 1 for the steep price of the Switch 2 to be justified for me personally.
Stalker Anomaly is available to download for free on moddb.com, and its actually a modded version of the original games. but GSC has allowed them to redistribute the game for free.
I’ve just been replaying it again since it was included in gamepass - already have hundreds of hours racked up between PC & Switch.
Definitely my favourite roguelite. And the soundtrack is so good. Haven’t tried Exit since I heard bad things, and I never really got to the point where I’d fully completed the first. But that teaser got me super pumped.
Yeah I love the first one. Also have hundreds of hours on it. I think the only things I’ve not unlocked are from the secret boss fight that is different from the others.
Exit was pretty terrible. It felt like a gimmicky cash grab.
That’s just cherrypicking. Yes some people will review bomb. Others will make fake positive reviews to counteract people review bombing a game for being too “woke”.
In the end the only thing that even could matter is how people in aggregate work - and that’s easy to account for, you just readjust the distribution to be more spread out to get the “true” score of things.
This video seems more like clickbait than anything. I’m finding it hard to find anything worthwhile to engage with here even from a high level.
What you mean? Have you seen all those articles publisher website just giving out 8-9 on every damn game they get early access to?
If they give worse, they proboly just lose theyre early access and ye, they get less income.
Same with negative reviews, Dragon age 2 isnt the perfect game, but an alright game, but since it has no binary person in it, millions just hate reviewed it. Proboly the same happening with favorite games company publish a game they just love, so they automatically review good about it.
Alot of people looking for a good game, and no one knows anymore who you can trust, and then its just comes down to marketing, who can just randomly takes customers without making a good game.

this has been an issue people have complained about in gaming journalism for–and i cannot stress this sufficiently–longer than i’ve been alive, and i’ve been alive for 25 years. so if we’re going by this metric video gaming has been “ruined” since at least the days of GTA2, Pokemon Gold & Silver, and Silent Hill. obviously, i don’t find that a very compelling argument.
if anything, the median game has gotten better and that explains the majority of review score inflation–most “bad” gaming experiences at this point are just “i didn’t enjoy my time with this game” rather than “this game is outright technically incompetent, broken, or incapable of being played to completion”.
