Dunstabzugshaubitze, do gaming w What are your experiences using Linux for gaming?

I am playing almost exclusively in linux since 2012 (diablo3 came out, it worked on Linux, i sank an ungodly amount of hours into it.) the only thing that made me reinstall windows was to play counter-strike go on faceit, because their client did not work on linux.

proton made so much, so much easier that it almost became frictionless to play on linux. wine made huge strides before, but it never was so smooth before proton.

what often was a problem where laptops with dedicated and integraded graphics cards, or nvidia cards on rolling release distribution often having issues after kernel updates, which is why i was on fedora for a long time, because there the akmod stuff worked better in my experience.

overall: when it works on the deck its almost guranteed that it runs just as easy on other linux distributions, maybe don’t pick a rolling release distro if you have an nvidia card, and most of the time you can forget about the fact, that you are gaming on linux.

If I weren’t familiar with this game and saw screenshots, I could believe it was an Adventure Time game.

I actually have never seen that show growing up. It took a friend who asked me to babysit and put it on for the child for me to even actually pay attention to it

toynbee,

Hah - I get that. The show wasn’t around when I was a kid and, when I tried to start it as an adult, the first two seasons didn’t exactly encourage me to pursue it. I’m not normally okay with “it gets good in season three” type shows, but a friend convinced me to stick with it and I’m glad they did because it’s now among my favorite shows.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I definitely didn’t click with it like others around my age despite seeing up season 3 I believe, but I totally respect the show and what it is. It had a lot of merit too it and values I think are important for people to learn

toynbee,

Season 3 is just when it starts to get good.

I’m sorry if I’m telling you something you already know, but for reference: the creator of AT was explicitly “anti canon” for the first two seasons. In the third they started to be willing to tell a consistent, coherent story. It’s a rough start, but it gets better from there; I understand if you’re reluctant to dedicate more time, but IMHO it’s well worth it.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe I’ll give it another try. The worst that can happen is I decide it’s not for me

toynbee, (edited )

Whenever I introduce people to Adventure Time, there are a few episodes I recommend. They are generally episodes that don’t require much familiarity with the universe, though said familiarity would enhance the experience.

I encourage you to watch the show in whatever way seems beneficial to you, but if you want suggestions, I’m here for you.

edit: But even if you don’t seek out any other suggestions from me, it’s a good idea to watch the Graybles episodes a maximum of once.

extarion, do gaming w What are your experiences using Linux for gaming?

I think it very much depends on what games you’re looking to play, but I’ve been having a wonderful experience ever since I fully switched to Linux earlier this year.

I’m currently on Kubuntu and for games I’m using Steam, Heroic Games Launcher (GOG & Epic Games), and Lutris (Battle.net).

My experience with Steam has been pretty much flawless, Heroic Games Launcher was fairly straightforward to setup, and Lutris was pretty easy as well – mostly took some extra time due to bad reading on my part.

I mostly play singleplayer games (e.g. Baldur’s Gate III, W40K: Rogue Trader), with the occassional multiplayer game thrown in there (e.g., The Planet Crafter, Guild Wars 2). So far, I’ve had no issues besides having to install Proton-GE in favor of Steam’s Proton layer due to some iffy cinematics in games, but that seems to be par for the course when following many guides online.

The main games that don’t seem to work are those that require kernel-level anti-cheat, think PUBG or the upcoming Battlefield. Which is unfortunate, but I can personally live without. ProtonDB is an excellent website to check out before you make your switch, so that you can see which games won’t work.

taiyang, (edited ) do games w Secret of evermore has some gigeresque visuals. I should probably attempt to finish the game but here are some screenshots

That’s wild, I was just thinking of a replay. Do you know about RetroAchevements? The achievements kind of give me goals which have helped me actually finish these games.

Edit: I wanna add that I was thinking it’d be good to play with my 3yo, I don’t think she can mess anything up playing as the dog lol

It has achievements :)

taiyang,

Looks like quite a few completionist achievements, too. Totally my thing (with a guide) although people who don’t wanna grind for a day at endgame might just want to go for the “beaten” status. Lol

Xbox/PlayStation/Switch pre-ordering is dumb.

Steam has refunds now though, so if I know I’m gonna play it day 1 I’ll pre-order it and pre-download it, but when it turns out it’s dogshit I’m refunding that shit ASAP (sorry stalker 2, hopefully you’ll be good one day!)

Unless it’s a boycott then you make sure you’re playing it day before release

I’ve only preordered two games in the last ten years, and in both cases I was buying them regardless of reviews, so getting them when it was convenient for my budget made sense.

Sunsofold, do games w How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary?

I heard from one of the old big names of the space, AntVenom, way back when. The most important part is enjoying doing it, and I mean every part of it. You have to enjoy sitting there, talking to yourself while you play. You have to enjoy video editing. You have to enjoy collaborating with other content creators and putting a focus on making it interesting to watch more than interesting to play. If you don’t enjoy the process, you don’t actually want to do it. You want something you think you will get from it, and you won’t last.

Just pretend and give it a try. Use free (as in price) software for the first run. Play a game, something you were already interested in and just spout off to an empty room about whatever comes to mind, because that’s basically the gig. Then edit it down. This might take much, much longer than the recording. Regardless of whether you upload it or not, you get a taste. If you actually enjoy the process (not imagining what it might lead to, but the actual process) do it.

Get comfortable talking to yourself / thinking out loud. You’re already thinking thoughts when you game, you just need to externalize them.

My first experience with this was Last of Us. I wasn’t expecting good things for part 2 after hearing things about hostile takeovers but killing off the main guy just ruined it for me.

MolochAlter, do games w What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?

Dragon age 2, Mass effect 3

ME3 is particularly bad cause most of the game is exactly as it should have been, and then the ending is pure unadulterated trash.

atotayo, do games w How can i casual gamer enter a game online competition?

If you want a shooter i suggest marvel rivals, it has in-game tournaments that you can access after you reach a high enough rank in ladder.

If you want a moba league of legends should have something similar in the client although i don’t know too much about it.

If you want a fighting game then you have hundreds of options. Tekken 8, street fighter 6 and guilty gear strive are the more popular ones with weekly tournaments online. (Most of these should be on sale because of the EVO which is the biggest tournament in the community)

Even mario kart wii (and the newer ones) have regular tournaments with very competitive scenes. Ultimately it’s about what you like to play and how good you are at it.

I was a Siren main in Borderlands.

Every new game in the franchise made me hate Lilith more. I think I may have cheered at the end of BL3.

KingGimpicus,

Why? Lilith was the best siren gameplay in the series. Yeah, ol Randy fucked her up real good with their dogshit writing, but her character never really changed. I’ve never been able to seriously pick up another siren character because nothing compares to phasewalk.

Is that Kojikog crashout real? Poor fella is melting down. I’ve got to go watch the tekken games now. I’m hoping someone whipped out one of the bears.

It’s acted out on purpose: if I recall correctly he missed a relatively easy win that could’ve kept him in the fight a bit longer because of an unpunished mistake of GO1. After a minute of desperation, he quickly shifts into proper manner and shakes hands!

Anyone have any thoughts on the vendor/show floor? I didn’t go, but I know one company was supposed to have a big presence there this year - Pixel Empire
