I've been wondering for a little while now if WinApps will work for gaming. It uses a VM in the background but, supposedly, has a "native" experience. Thoughts?
Been using Linux since 2005. Really don’t understand why so many people put up with Microsoft planned obsolescence, spyware, ads, etc. Linux is easier now than it’s ever been. Most things work out of the box if you pick a reasonable distro. If you’re going to be pushed to learn a new paradigm, do it once more by learning Linux and stop being pushed.
I think I’m going to get the $30 1-year ESU and kick that can down the road. I need to run windows-only software and I can’t upgrade because of my processor. Maybe in a year’s time I’ll be ready for a new build.
I’m running Linux everywhere incuding the machine I am writing on right now. I have one single dual boot machine with Windows 10 as the mainly used OS for the simple reason that I need to run one specific software (and some of the “ecosystem” around it) that is not available for Linux. The only alternative is Apple which is even worse in my opinion. So I think I’ll be forced to update. All the rest of my daily computing stuff has been moved to Linux for a long time.
Made the jump already since I built a new computer and there were lots of missing windows 10 drivers for the new hardware and there was no way in hell I was going to main on windows 11.
I’m sticking with Linux due to the bullshit that Microsoft is constantly pulling. Currently, my PC is running Fedora 41, and I love it quite a bit; currently I can’t imagine a future where I return to Windows 11. Proton Compatibility Layer makes gaming on any distro fairly easy!
I think I have an inordinate amount of nostalgia for Metal Arms: Glitch in the System and 007: Agent Under Fire. Both are locked to consoles. The campaign and multiplayer of Metal Arms are all-timers, and while the campaign is fairly basic for Agent Under Fire, the multiplayer, especially with all of the modifiers turned on, is some of my favorite FPS multiplayer ever.
I’d also like a PC version of Soul Calibur II with rollback, please, Bandai-Namco. I don’t care if the series stops there; this is really all I want or need from this franchise. Especially if you can just reskin Link and put his functionality in the game alongside Heihachi and Spawn.
My system isn't even that old (maybe 4 years) and the first few times I got that very annoying popup that I should try to upgrade it told me in vague terms that I couldn't. So be it, everything runs fine now. I have backups of everything, so if WIn10 doesn't continue to work as simply unsupported one day I'll look for ways to "fix" it like someone mentioned with a 3rd party, or go to Linux and adapt to it. Anyone who has ever had a drive failure knows that the solution is to use a recovery USB which will be a portable Linux, so it will be just another version of that.
Crush, puzzle/platformer only released on PSP and 3ds. It had decent reviews but I guess it didn’t make enough money to get any ports. One of my favorites from the PSP along with Joan d’Arc and persona 3.
It’s fun but doesn’t quite scratch the itch. It’s a lot more arcade-y and simpler than War of the Monsters. Way smaller maps and less environmental interaction
Puyo Puyo Chronicle, the last good installment in the series, don't @ me. I'd like Sega to make a proper new game, but they're clearly never ever ever ever gonna do that, so the next best thing they could do is port a good one. What I need most is a game that's on all major platforms with crossplay.
