Yep. I wish others were brave enough to actually make a change. Accounts are purely there to steal data and further enrich thieves.


Finishing alan wake 1 and American nightmare.

So many chainsawmen.

Worth it though. I played Control first, so it was awesome seeing the continuation backwards.



That would be awesome. I have a camary yellow one that looks like a spy phone, has a little red dome light on it.


Thats exactly what I did in my basement office! Behind me is a sharp crt, ps1, vcr, genesis, some other consoles. So nice to leave the phone and laptop in the bedroom and come down here to travel back to better times


Mines also an spch 101 and it sat in storage a couple years or longer. You’ll likely need a new laser , cheap and easy. May as well do a mod chip while youre in there.

A lot of people have done the mod that allows you to play games off a modded memory card, bypassing the error prone cd drive. Seems worth it


If its any hope, a lot of my stuff has survived insane temp changes in storage.


Untitled goose game. You can play it or dink around. HONK


Yeah i haven’t convinced a single person off of it. They complain anything else is too hard.

I miss techy people from the early 2000s that didnt bitch about setting up voice servers.


Nethack runs good in vertical. I use the version called Pathos. Good dungeon crawler.


Just cause 2 with infinite distance grapple hook and chuck Norris character model. Too fun

Yeah we are on the losing side of history. The future will be total ai slop. People love it. We will be the grumpy old folks yelling that the tv ruined the world.


I want to punch your comment.


Logins. I hate games with accounts. Just let me play.


Quadruple threat of grifts


Good for you! I find modern consoles to be a cesspool of data theft and annoying logins that I dont want (in, Microsoft account for xbox), plus not owning any of my actual games is a red flag, as well as needing internet to even play a single player game.

However I get it for ease of use if youre already in that space. I also enjoy making things much harder than they need to be, hence my 15 year old cpu linux gaming pc I keep hobbling along!


I stopped at consoles when they became another enshittified always online tool of theft.

I stick with pc, old consoles, or my old 360 as a new Gen console.



Terrifying how when they grow up they will influence the gaming landscape to become even more hellish.

Ill go back to my games before 2008 now bye.


Oof.

Society peaked in 1999 and no one can tell me different.



Ah. I have never had lag, but the constant disconnecting and having to manually reconnect sucks.


Do you have issues using it wirleessly ? I do


I love ps4 controllers and they are cheap. They work great wired, and they work ok over bluetooth but not great in linux.






Yeah it does not seem like it will work. Im not totally sure if the issue is linux or the cpu but im more guessing cpu as every other game works great



Rocket league is inside fortnight now.

Basically they want fortnite to be a complete (malware) gaming package with every game inside it sp youre tied to epic.


I’ve convinced my SO but thats it. My other gamer friends aren’t computer savvy enough to do it and go through all the headaches.

So they’ll keep dealing with ms shitty practices…


Alan Wake II on an AMD FX?
Guessing this is a no, but I can't really find a straight answer. I'm still rocking my AMD FX 8350. I am very surprised it does as well as it does since it's from 2013. I slapped in a RX 6800 and it plays all my games just fine now (had an rx 580 before, total poo). Newest games I play are CS2, LoU 2, ARC Raiders even ran great. My question is, is the architecture of the FX just too old to even launch AW 2? I've been holding off upgrading since it means all new mobo, ram, and CPU at once.

Omg my friend and I discussed exactly this!!

I just wanna kill clankers. Not play someone who has 5000 hours to game and destroy everyone lol. Not fun for me.



I cant unfortunately as I have an s23. Hoping to change at some point but I cant do a linux phone now either.


I also have a couple synology. Thank you for the help!


Phone backups?
How do yall backup your phone? Trying to de Google as much as I can but that means I wont have the ability to sync everything again if I drop my phone in a lake. Preferably a program that can run on linux or a NAS that auto backs up over wifi. Id be fine with cable backup too if I had to.

More ed more ed!

Only person with a damn brain writing articles. Cant wait for this trash bubble to pop.


Using mint on both pcs with newish hardware is great for me! One of them is older and ones a ryzen with an rx580


True. But if you do ANY research 99% of people will say mint for beginners.

After that if you delve in more you can go fedora/arch etc. But almost everyone is going to say start with mint, or if you REALLY only wanna game, bazzite.


Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?
I've been wondering this recently. I grew up on atari/nes/snes and so of course almost all of those games (pretty sure all) are written in assembly and are rock solid smooth and responsive for the most part. I wonder if this has affected how I cannot stand to play badly optimized games eith even a hint of a laggy feel to it. I've always been drawn to quake and cs for that reason: damn smooth. And no, it doesn't just need to be FPS games either. I cant play beat saber with a modicum of lag or i suck massively, but others can play just fine and not even notice the lag. Its odd. I feel like a complainer but maybe I just notice it more easily than others?
