Unfortunately it died a few years ago.

I used to have an early VR headset. With 3DoF headtracking, 640x480 at 60 Hz (combined, so actually every eye got only half of that). Descent supported stereoscopic 3D and the headtracking could be added to almost every game with a mouse driver. It was bad. Really bad. Descent alone could be nausea inducing. In VR it was a literal pukefest. Still I had to try it every few months or so, because it was so cool on paper.

I remember spending hours configuring the controls to something I would like. Mouse aiming? Never heard of it!

All I remember from my scheme was that A and Z were for up and down. Orientation probably with the cursor keys. I know I had something on capslock and shift. Maybe forwards and backwards.

Oooh, retro gaming!

Safe and clean games like my own Diarrhea 4.

Fucking hell. But violence is still, ok, right?

Probably then it’s trying to find real humans before throwing you back down to the bots.

For the first time in forever I am playing multiple games at the same time.

Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos. I had that game as a kid but I don’t think I ever got any further than the first enemy. And it’s amazing! The whole game is dubbed. And it has four protagonists to choose from, each with their individual voice lines about basically any situation or item you come across. And all the NPC’s lines match them and they address you by name.

And the graphics are super beautiful. Pixel graphics but with great details and animations. Like when you get your spellbook you get a super elaborate T-1000-like animation of some droplets forming a scroll.

X-Wing via XWVM: The old X-Wing game with updated graphics and quality of life improvements. Just awesome! It’s still an alpha but basically plays like a beta. I have hardly any bugs, just occasional crashes, and none are game breaking. And supposedly they are already pretty far along with TIE Fighter compatibility. Can’t wait to play that. TIE Fighter TC is nice and all, but stuffing everything into the X-Wing Alliance engine feels pretty clunky while XWVM just works.

Cyberpunk 2077: My son bought it on sale and I wanted to try it as well, although I don’t really like cyberpunk. Too realistic. But the game is great. Plays like a combination of Deus Ex and GTA. I’d say it feels more like the original Deus Ex than the newer Deus Ex games. Maybe with slightly less open levels. But not much.

Limbo: The game is about to be delisted from GOG so I got it quickly. It’s chill to play which suits me well. Love it so far.

Doesn’t make it any less outrageous.

bjoern_tantau, do gaming w Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Proton is mostly a fork of Wine which has been used for decades to run Windows software on Linux. Valve didn’t do all the hard work by themselves.

bjoern_tantau, do gaming w Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Yeah, Proton runs outside of Steam in Heroic and Lutris. That’s basically what the umu project is about. I think it works in Bottles as well.

Almost everything Valve has done for Linux gaming is open source and will remain even if they go away and lock everything down tomorrow.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

In almost every game the gameplay tips and tutorials they give you are not only suboptimal but often outright counterproductive. This is especially bad in multiplayer games.

It was really nice in Doom Eternal, where they added quick swapping to the tips.

In the same vein, when the game starts immediately without giving you a chance to configure it. Because the default configuration is always wrong.

The Steam Deck is great in that regard. Just put it to sleep.

When there are several waterfalls in the game and not one has a secret behind it.
