How it affected me: Mr Wobbly Hides His Helmet. Many, many hours of enjoyment. But it also got me into trouble on a few occasions.

The game that changed the way I think: Go. I even got my first great job because I beat someone at Go, so he thought that meant I was smart. He was the hiring manager for a project that required international travel and which gave me high visibility within the company. But what it really meant was just that he wasn’t a particularly strong Go player. I’m still an OK player, though one of my sons now plays at master level (which, he says, means that not all 12-year-old Koreans can beat him).

Most recent: Death Stranding 2

I love that wild shit, and the story is very touching.

The one before that: Xenoblade Chronicles 3

There’s so much emotion in that game. Of all the games I have played in the last 37 years or so, I cried more in XC3 than I think I have in any other game. So good.

I’m going way back, almost 30 years.

Phantasmagoria 2: The Puzzle of Flesh

Assuming I remember correctly, some ways into the game, you, the player, realizes your character is the one who has been committing all the horrible, tortures and murders. I stopped playing at that point. I never play “evil”. For instance, in FO4, I never took over the Commonwealth with the raiders, raiders are always cannon fodder.

So, it didn’t really change my life, per se, but I have remembered it all these years, and still have no interest in finishing the game.

dejected_warp_core,

Whoa. A Jumpman reference in the wild. Thank you for reminding me. But I have no idea what that string of characters means. :(

The sound of the player taking a tumble off the stage, followed by a death march, has been forever seared into my brain. Watching my uncle play this, helped little_warp_core understand the limitless potential of (home) video games, above and beyond the likes of crappy Asteroids and Pac-Man ports.

Yeah, that too and then the aforementioned piece is the stuff of nightmares.

Getting the good ending in The Witcher 3. So much relief.

Is that a native macOS app or are you running it in a virtual machine or Wine/CrossOver, something like that?

jakepi,

Crossover for Mac running Steam. I don’t think Apple lets you run Games on a Mac since it would ruin the aesthetic.

TBH My Mac OS Steam Library is mostly more casual games. BL2 and No man’s Sky are probably the newest AAA on there.

Apple is trying to get games running on macOS, most obviously with the Game Porting Toolkit to make it easier for developers to release Mac versions, but they still face an uphill climb mostly because of the reputation that Macs can’t run games. Of course, Apple would also prefer that these games be sold on the App Store instead of Steam or the Epic Games Store, and I think a lot of developers aren’t too interested in that.

It would be funny if gaming on Linux ends up getting more traction than macOS because of Valve’s efforts with Proton despite the much larger macOS market share.

I’d argue it already has honestly.

jakepi,

As far as Steam goes, Linux is already a full 1% ahead of MacOS in market share. Windows is still massively dominant.

princessnorah,

I think it’s a bit redundant to say Windows is still massively dominant. If that weren’t the case, it would be all anyone was talking about on Lemmy.

I play a few games on Mac, mostly No Man’s Sky. Straight from Steam, nothing else needed.

PanoptiDon,

I was so sad it was over

Sir_Simon_Spamalot,

Start: it’s a game where one would play as a cat!

Finish: turns out it’s about a world where humans have gone extinct

endingoh, and your companion, which turned out the sole surviving human, died sacrificing himself in the end

Doom Eternal after completing the game and all the DLC. They put you through HELL (literally) and these levels are a BITCH at the end and the sigh of relief to see this arc of the story finally come to a close is so satisfying.

Doom 2016 was an overall better game from an atmospheric perspective, and it had better direction overall, but Eternal was just fun and hard. If you can bare it on at least ultra-violence the sense of completion at the end of it all is quite gratifying.

Desperados 3 did it for me. The game ends right where it promised, getting revenge and jumping to black as soon as the trigger’s pulled. Knowing something like this will likely never be made again drove me into a light melancholy.

The first one - Planescape: Torment.

The second one (accidentally): Baldur’s Gate 3.

Accidentally, because I fell in love with the characters so much that I started watching the actors’ streams on Twitch and learned that I probably have ADHD.

Kingdom Hearts. The story is a little confusing at first but replaying them after getting it shows new things. The whole, “My friends are my power!” really resonates with me to this day. 358/2 Days is the best story, and I cry every time I hear Xion’s story. I named my dog Xion because I love the character and what she represents so much. Can’t wait till #4!

How is your experience with wolf?

How is thst compared with a regular no Vm gaming rig?

How is the multiuser support on that?

I find the project super interesting and it is under my radar but I don’t know how it will work with multiuser/ multisession and some first hand experience would be appreciated

jakepi,

It’s been shockingly good. If you are at least somewhat proficient with Linux and Docker it’s not too difficult to get going. If the game runs on Linux / SteamOS it should just work on Wolf without issue. I think the project also requires you to have Intel or AMD GPU and I would highly recommend an AMD. I have only run into one game that doesn’t work and that is Doom Dark Ages.

Performance is pretty near native, but that is very much YMMV since you are sharing a single host. My Proxmox has about 20+ LXCs and VMs on it, my biggest contention is GPU Memory. I tend to have transcodes going, Ollama, other light AI stuff, etc. It really leaves about 8-10GB of VRAM from my 16GB card.

Wolf wants to be multiuser by default, and it requires some configuration to do it the other way. Every device you pair via Moonlight gets its own unique “home” directory. So each device is its own copy of Steam, your games, etc. I am the only user on here and wanted to share one profile for my devices. It requires you to edit a config.toml for Wolf and change the profile for each to device to the same string. IE: change the profile of each device to “gamer1” and they get a shared home directory.

More about Moonlight. To get your pin for pairing you will have to log into your Wolf server and look in the docker logs of Wolf, this is the only place the PIN is available. They do have a Web GUI for Wolf but it is very early stages, it works but can be buggy. Once paired the experience is pretty great, when you launch Steam in Moonlight, Wolf will start a containerized version of Steam for you with the display matching what your client requests. This for me is the greatest feature since I have a 165HZ Ultrawide desktop, a 4K TV, a Handheld, etc and it just works.

Besides Doom Dark Ages not running I do have a few other issues. Wolf currently doesn’t support any fancy display features like HDR or 4:4:4 display, so the quality is great but if you’re used to playing native on an HDR display it does feel a tiny bit lacking. Moonlight clients on the Mac and PC are amazing but have been hit or miss on other devices. I have a few Onn Android TV boxes, oddly enough they have really high latency and decode times with H264 and H265 but work amazing with AV1, they also don’t seem to like anything above 1080p. This also requires me to have a card that support AV1 encoding, which luckily I do. I side loaded the Moonlight app on an LG TV and it works great at 1440p with H265 but absolutely falls apart with AV1. Moonlight also does not support microphones. If your game requires in-game voice you are out of luck (IE: REPO, that one got me).

Let me know if you have any other questions.
