Sacred Somnom Woods from Mario & Luigi Dream Team (Music suggestion to listen) (youtu.be)

I like listening to oldschool videogame music. Recently I listened to some music of games I never played and one song in particular blew my mind. Its wonderful and since it lives rent free in my head, coming back to it over and over again. I’m loving it....

thingsiplay,

It’s actually the rumored Switch Pro.

thingsiplay,

In the Digital Foundry talks they talked about it. And it makes sense. The Pro was rumored to come out in 2020 or later with tech around that time. But as 2020 was a big year for Switch 1, Nintendo might have changed their direction. Switch 2 has tech that could be from that time and it would make sense, as it is similar to what a Switch Pro would actually be.

Overall its just an idea that makes sense.

thingsiplay,

Agree with you as well. Anything that enhances or adds new functionality wouldn’t be part of a pro upgrade of the same. I feel like Nintendo tried desperately on the Switch 2 to bring new features, that could have been developed and thought off after they scrapped the Pro idea. So they came up with some software features like video streaming and an upgraded controller with mouse support.

thingsiplay,

He probably calls himself some sort of Hacker. xD

thingsiplay,

I have yet to play, only did the tutorial for quick testing. So I don’t speak from personal experience, but from what I read so far.

Its more or less like the Splitgate 1. But they have a new game engine to better support and work on it (that’s why its a new entry in series, instead an update). Some people say they don’t like the hero abilities they added into. I don’t know to what extend this is and how game dependent these are. But one huge plus point to me is a map creator for the community. One of the biggest issues I had in game 1 was that not enough content and maps were available.

On the negative side is, that there is a Battle Pass. At least for me this is negative, but the game is Free to Play. I assume everyone who liked the first game will like this one too, but can’t be sure right now. They also seem to have too many players for their servers.

SteamOS (updated page) (store.steampowered.com) angielski

SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience that’s optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC. SteamOS plays tens of thousands of games on Steam, and we are constantly testing the Steam catalog for SteamOS compatibility. It’s an open Linux...

thingsiplay,

You mean an L-take? I’m not sure why. SteamOS is a gaming oriented os, with specific user interface and update cycles and features towards that. I think its the right call by Valve to put this note that this is not a general purpose desktop os meant to replace it. I know about the desktop mode (have Steam Deck myself).

The point is, the goal and usage is not meant and to be considered a full replacement for a desktop. People can decide themselves to do it anyway, its just not the goal. So totally not an L take here. Unless I misunderstood your point.

thingsiplay,

The update is that you can officially download and install SteamOS on other devices.

Does this mean I can install SteamOS on any device? We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Deck or device that incorporates SteamOS. The only devices officially supported on SteamOS right now are Steam Deck and Legion Go S.

We are working on broadening support, and with the recent updates to Steam and SteamOS, compatibility with other AMD powered PC handhelds has been improved. If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.

thingsiplay,

It just says only Steam Deck and Legion Go S are officially supported. But you can install it on other devices too (people did already).

If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.

thingsiplay,

Here is how the film could look like:

Getting Naked in the Middle by Deerstalker Pictures, YouTube - 2:54min

thingsiplay,

Which product of Intel?

thingsiplay,

I think AMD more or less paused than abandoned the high end market.

thingsiplay,

For anyone wondering what this is, Dinosaur Planet is a prototype from Rare for the N64. The game was cancelled and reworked as Starfox Adventures for Gamecube.

thingsiplay,

One more reason to not buy Nintendo games and play them for free.

thingsiplay,

Love it how this trailer unites the biggest YouTubers in the comment section. DailyDoseOfInternet, Xbox, LofiGirl and so on.

thingsiplay,

You can bet it will have micro transactions like a free to play game, but with an additional premium full price on top of it.

thingsiplay,

Don’t make yourself (and others) false hope, it will not happen. Why? In the past Bungie officially said they don’t want support Linux. This company is quiet hostile towards Linux for whatever reason. That’s why I don’t have any hope for this game to be playable on the Deck (or in Linux general for that matter).

Sure things can change sometimes, but I would not hope on this based on speculation. Not being the party pooper here, just trying to be realistic based on history.

Marvel Rivals cheater banned for 100 years (beehaw.org) angielski

Today I’ve reported a player in Marvel Rivals for being a cheater (it was obvious to me, even autoaim through wall playing hawkeye). And I just got a confirmation message that the player is banned until 2125… basically a 100 year ban. :D Do report them. Report toxicity as well (I get ton of confirmation). But do not report...

thingsiplay,

That’s the 8 man (not sure about how many, but I think it was less than 10) helper team in the US which got laid off. They were only contracted and this is actually normal in the industry. Those articles are sensational. The main team in China is unaffected by this.

thingsiplay,

I saw some permaban which does state its permanently deactivated, and not banned for a time limit.

thingsiplay,

That’s unknown information to us.

ryujin470, do gaming angielski

Why Blizzard doesn't support Linux officially in its games? (Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo etc)

thingsiplay,

Microsoft itself has some conflict of interests, where they use Linux in servers and work actively on Linux itself. And at the same time Microsoft wants to bring the Xbox brand to as many platforms as possible, as it is no longer the Xbox console that counts. So there should be an interest to make the games officially supported on a Linux platform.

On the other side however, they also want Windows to succeed. And not supporting a minority platform means huge savings in time and money and less complication in management. I am curious how Xbox gaming brand will handle Linux in the future.

thingsiplay,

WINE runs them fine, so there’s a limited return for Blizzard to do a native port.

Officially supporting the Linux platform does not mean doing a native port. Look in example what Marvel Rivals does. They do support Linux, with official statements and with bug fixes related to Linux (they even specifically mentioned a specific bug fix for Bazzite in one of their recent patch notes). The game runs through Proton. Blizzard / Xbox could do the same here.

thingsiplay,

I agree. There is not a high priority to have official support, as the unofficial support is good enough. I played Overwatch (and later OW2 a bit) for years on Linux. It felt like native to me. All I am really asking for is not to ban or block Linux users.

thingsiplay,

If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.

Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

A list of several boxarts for Suikoden: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/…/boxes

The PAL version uses the original art from Japanese release. I think it even improves on it by having a white background, which looks more classy to me: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/…/10236

https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/aa365b0e-c049-456a-94c8-4d59d0062824.webp

thingsiplay,

How many were laid off? Did they hire another people maybe? I would be careful with premature conclusions based on this single event. It would be hilarious if those laid off people go to work on Overwatch…

thingsiplay,

Why do we learn about their names after they die? RIP Viktor.

I Spent 1 YEAR Remaking Super Mario World In 3D! by Bobby Ivar (YouTube: 18:25 min) [Jan 30, 2025] (youtu.be) angielski

Someone remaked Super Mario World in 3D in Unreal Engine 5 (no realistic graphics). The video explains what he did and its super interesting and entertaining to watch. However, there is nothing playable right now. And even if there was one, Nintendo would be fast to remove it. I hope he will publish a finished work as Open...

thingsiplay,

As long as he does not make any money and it is not about a current gen game, its not as bad as you might think. He does not directly use assets from Nintendo, as everything is self created. The only thing in the way is, that he is using the IP (Intellectual Property) and names. But you know what, there are thousands of fan made games like that - ton of them even using assets directly ripped off Nintendo games, and they are not sued. People do this kind of thing since decades.

thingsiplay,

And whats bad about it?

thingsiplay,

Did you reply to the wrong person?

Marvel Rivals Version 20250214 Patch Notes - Steam News (February 12, 2025) (store.steampowered.com) angielski

It’s not a big message, so I copied it here over. To me it is notable that they specifically address a Linux Gaming distribution called Bazzite, to correct a bug/mistake on it caused by the game. This note is also under the “General” headline, so they take it serious. I am really really happy about this....

Game Crashes

While we are at it, the game crashes my system after some time. It was even worse a week ago, when every second game crashed. Its so bad that if it crashes, then I have to hold the physical button on my computer; which is obviously not healthy. It happens more often in competitive. I’m on a modern computer with AMD+AMD system, using EndeavourOS. Other people have issues too and they have other PC specs, even using Windows. So its hard to say what causes this issue. Here is one tracking issue for Proton: github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8300

thingsiplay,

So we are allowed to post in this sub only games you are interested in? How about unsubscribe or shutting up?? Just a suggestion.

thingsiplay,

Why do people click the post if they are not interested? The title says it all. And I don’t post update notes usually, its probably my first time here. I posted this because of some noteworthy thing about supporting a specific Linux distribution, as explained in my post.

thingsiplay,

Well I’m not going into all posts I dont like and tell them that I’m not interested into. Do i? If you dont like post, dont click. Or do not use this sub forum. Because its not just for you.

thingsiplay,

You did not just give feedback, but suggest me not posting here. No. I will post here. About games you are not interested. Just dont click them, dont be annoying.

thingsiplay,

Didn’t they lift the PSN account requirement on PC just a few days ago? Imagine if they could not play the game during the outage, if Sony didn’t lift the requirements. I kinda would have loved to see this, because it could mean a huge shift in gaming based on real world proof.

thingsiplay,

It does not matter. The point I was referring to you is that Linux is no longer the least used operating system and why its not limiting to that operating system when creating native Linux support. And no, its not about Native Linux Only games, its Native Linux games in addition to Windows games.

Your argument which I quoted is no longer an argument today.

thingsiplay,

This is not what you said. This is not pedantic. ok you know what you are right and happy birthday. No need for toxicity here. If you don’t even know what you are saying and changing your argumentation over the discussion we had.

SimCity Classic in RetroArch - Who needs Windows 11 when you can play on Windows 98? (beehaw.org) angielski

Edit: Oh I forgot the Direct X and drivers links. Added it in the below link list. There is a website that hosts old versions. With Windows 98 SE I use “voodoo_graphics_driver_kit_version_3.01.00” and “directx9.0c_april2006”....

thingsiplay,

I have not much experience on Android. Would be interesting to see how it runs there.

thingsiplay,

lol yeah I use the Turbo button on RetroArch often. In example on boot. Love the turbo button. :D Its still Windows, so you have to figure out the drivers stuff. I researched a lot and recommend the drivers I mentioned in first paragraph (in Edit). And I never setup internet connection. I really don’t want Windows 98 to connect to internet.
