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

I was seriously just finally starting to become interested in using them a lot more for gaming since I got some success getting it to work on my Linux install. This would make me do a full 180 though…

Thanks for the really interesting mish mash of information 😁

You are a Linux gamer with a love for GOG. May I ask how are you accessing GOG games on Linux/Steam Deck: Lutris? Heroic?

You should check my previous weeks of News Posts!

I go into detail on which ones I use to play GOG games, with links and guides and videos etc!

Junk Store and Heroic are my recommendations, they both handle GOG so well :)

wizzim,

Thanks I’ll have a look.

Unfortunately, my personal curse is the love of achievements 😅, and heroic support of them with GOG is still a little bit lacking. But with the new comet support with overlay in heroic, hopefully it will change soon.

I wasn’t ever much of a fan of achievements, but the last, idk 6 months or so I have been so invested in them. Its nice to check my profile on GOG and see my play-time and achievements logged :)

Comet does all I need to, but I am also looking forward to the upcoming overlay!

wizzim,

At first I found achievements a bit ridiculous, like in the old days at school where you received an image if you did good.

In the meantime, some smart achievements forced me out of my play style and made me try things I would never had the idea of trying. Those are the best achievements for me. The game with such achievements that triggered the achievement crazyneness of mine was Trine 2 😁

Didn’t know about Citron stuff. Time to remove it from my Steamdeck…

Bro, you’re awesome!

Why not start a full fledged blog site? Using Jekyll is pretty easy and free to deploy.

*I’m a ‘Miss’, not ‘bro’!

And thanks, that’s really kind of you!

I guess…well I’ve thought of it a few times, but in the end (and don’t judge me, hubris coming here) the idea that there might be one extra reason to come to Lemmy - to bring even a few extra people in to the fediverse, well that makes me happy.

Its an over estimation of my posts’ worth (I see quite regular down votes), but I like that this is where you’d find my posts.

…if that makes any sense? Anyway, I have considered it many times.

farcaster,

Yeah this is a great writeup. First time I noticed it. I’d follow your blog on RSS for sure.

GreyEyedGhost,

If you haven’t seen her other posts, I’d jump on her profile and read it. There are 7 more of these out there!

And they won’t stop coming!!!

alehel,

Yes, I’d much rather these be on Lemmy! I don’t want yet another blog to bookmark. By being on Lemmy I also catch new posts pretty quickly in my feed.

caseyweederman,

Sorry! Sorry. Miss bro.

Elevator7009,

Nice to find another woman on the Fediverse. Usually I don’t mind male-dominated environments as long as nobody treats me badly once they know I’m female, but the small amount of participants in !otomegames and !infinitynikki (both communities for games that are aimed at women) makes me wish for more women here. Meanwhile the gender-neutral !automationgames attracted a lot more attention.

Glitch,

I was just thinking I’d like this as an RSS feed!

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

One news item I’ve noticed making waves in the indie genres I frequent was the announcement that Chucklefish Games’ Witchbrook will get a release in winter 2025

This was surprising because there hasn’t been much news for a few years, and the announcement was dropped during a Nintendo Direct of all places.

deus,

I fully expected this game to be dead so that announcement was a welcome surprise.

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

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

Woo looked forward to this!

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Oh gosh, thank you!

Now I’ll repeat what I do whenever I post these:

I solemnly swear it will be a full week before the next of these posts

(…maybe it’ll be sooner!)

mesamunefire,

I feel like I need to have your account on RSS or something. Your posts are bigger and more interesting than most of my other RSS feeds lol.

I have a miyoo mini plus btw. Great little device.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

The great disappointment of the Miyoo family has been the Flips! Even the new V2 version looks to be a bit of a mess, though as always with these - YMMV!

I adore my Miyoo, every time I look at alternatives I just can’t bring myself to replace it!

mesamunefire,

I’m planning on getting a flip v2 in August. I’m really hoping it will be better than what some say.

I want more ports! Stardew on a small console like that is a dream.

Although the work the devs (and a tiny bit myself) have put into onion os makes the MMP and MM so good to play. And 3d printed handles make the MMP easier in my hands!

FeelzGoodMan420, do games w Doom: The Dark Ages - Previews Thread

What even is Doom anymore? It used to be a marine shooting demons on mars with a shotgun. Now it’s some mythological fantastical fever dream bullshit where you ride dragons and execute perfectly timed combos against alien God things. It might be fun but it’s certainly NOT Doom anymore.

Viri4thus,

There’s story videos now, dafuq…

callouscomic,

Is this serious? Every Doom game has involved going to hell and fighting Demons from hell in space and such. You know, a mythological place and mythological creatures and insane situations that are clearly fantasy.

They changed the type of place and creatures slightly. This isn’t really a stretch for the series.

FeelzGoodMan420, (edited )

Is this serious? Doom was sci-fi. Now it’s fantasy. The new game has you riding a dragon for Christ’s sake. What don’t you understand?

Abnorc,

You could argue that Doom was always more fantasy focused than sci if, but it doesn’t really matter. Doom doesn’t need to be about the same thing forever. They already had some fantasy/medieval vibes with enemies like marauders, those awesome swords, and some of the visual designs of the areas. I think they saw that it worked and decided to expand on it.

IMO, it probably always needs to be about high-octane demon killing. If it stays true to that, it can still be called Doom.

GOG is fucked. As soon as services like this start talking about subscriptions, it’s already over.

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.

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

I just wanna be able to filter games by what goodies they have, man. I want my waw paypaws.

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

How about GOG Galaxy on Linux?

AstralPath, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 30th

Chrono Trigger with my wife. Having a blast with that. Almost done Metal Gear Solid on Extreme difficulty. That game is a true masterpiece. The extreme modes in MGS make them even better if you ask me.

Finished MGS2 a couple days ago. Those final codec calls are prophetic and terrifying. Another masterpiece.

Playing through MGS3 for the first time with my buddy too. Good fun.

chloyster,

A fellow Chrono trigger player! I’m almost done with it I think. Feels like there’s just side stuff to do at this point.

HalfSalesman,

I loved MGS 1 and 2 but I’m some kind of freak because I just could not get into MGS3 and people fucking obsessively love that game.

AstralPath,

I’m kinda feeling the same. The MGS3 story/execution is much weaker than 2 IMO but there are some cool gameplay advancements over 2. Oddly its just much less immersive as an experience, but its still quite good.

Memberships are fine as long as they add perks and don’t take anything away from what non-members have access to now.
