I will say, I’m running in Desktop mode and using keyboard+mouse. Presumably controller works, but I haven’t actually tried in handheld mode.

GOG version runs great for me. I just installed via Lutris using Proton Experimental, no problems to speak of while playing so far.

See my reply to this user above, but yea don’t bother buying it if you only have the Steam Deck. Cheaper and a better experience to buy the original on GOG.

You always have the option to get a full refund within the first 2 hours of gameplay on Steam though, if you want to see the performance for yourself.

I can confirm, even trying several different combos of optimizer mods, plus running the resolution at 1280x720, it stutters like crazy as soon as you get out of the initial area surrounding the Imperial City and looks like dogshit because of everything at low or lowest.

Baldur’s Gate 3 with almost 100 mods (including optimizers), and similar upscaling settings at 1920x1080 in Desktop mode, runs smoother and looks better on the Steam Deck.

Since the remaster is literally using the same game logic as the original, I ended up just installing the GOG version of the GOTY edition, installed a bunch of mods, and it runs amazing. I don’t think I’m missing much in the way of changes/improvements.

FitGirl has also had it on their todo list since the crack showed up on 1337x

lmao, I would believe that he believes it. He could play Ron Burgundy really well.

Some further suggestions I haven’t seen mentioned in all these comments yet, surprisingly:

• Foundation
• Manor Lords
• 0 A.D. (FOSS and impossible to get ripped off, AoE clone)
• shapez / shapez 2 (the first one is only $2)

And maybe a little more casual, but still similar vein as city management:

• Mini Metro
• Mini Motorways

Out of all of these, I think I’ve played Mini Motorways three times as much as the rest, combined. I dunno why, I just love it.

I wonder what his definition of Transshipping would be if asked off-the-cuff without his advisors around.

So piracy is no longer stealing, right?

Probably for the same reasons that healthy food is a luxury. Make it easier and far less tedious to get the shitty end of the stick. Most of the proles will just give up and accept it, especially in a world that seems to put instant gratification at the top of the TODO list over self-reliance and self-respect. In other words, fashion over function.

If they can surveil our conversations and control what we see and hear, then they can advertise shittier foods, which then puts us in the pockets of insurance and pharma once we develop conditions and diseases from said shitty food. Once you’re in that loophole, it’s already been said by the pharma execs themselves, “healing your customers is a bad business model.”

I spent what felt like many moons trying to compile Gentoo when I was a kid. There was only the wiki and a gritty forum for getting answers, nothing in real-time. I didn’t have very much knowledge of the kernel or messing with modules, and was certainly lost on getting a desktop environment going even after I got past the kernel part.

It was such an experience, I decided to become a janitor.

ETA: also this guy (not strictly linux, but same vibes)

IMO, anything dubbed a “War on ____”, especially by officials, is actually about precisely this.

Lmao, indeed. You can just open up flatpak repo and look through the game categories

It’s for deployments and managing many environments/machines from a single CLI interface. You can do all sorts of things like push configs based on labels/groups, gather real-time data/logs, scale up/down. It’s great when you have a lot of VPS/VDS/VMs to manage and you’re not using a platform’s specific management tools.

I mainly use NixOS as a barebones backend, keep it as minimal and hardened as I can, then most of the projects/apps that run are done through something like Docker or k8s. So for me, it’s all about managing the underlying servers that provide the tools needed for a project to operate.

The tool itself is undergoing a pretty big redesign at the moment, but you can get the gist of it from the overview in the manual of the commands.

Warsow is also in this boat. Kinda like Quake, but low player-base

Ahh, yea. Fighting like SF or MK is a tough one for sure.

Although some might be web-based and not necessarily native to Linux, Itch.io does have a large pool of jRPGs, and the RPGMaker communities have a lot of hidden gems, as well. Might be worth a shot, but there will obviously be some less-than-interesting ones along the way, too. They can’t all be zingers.

There’s one fairly big rhythm game for Linux that I can’t for the life of me remember. I’ll try to find it and link, but I think it was posted on Lemmy not too long ago. There’s also Clone Hero that might be of interest if you have guitar controllers.

Out of curiosity, which genres are those? Top 3 if it’s a big list

Falcon’s Eye sorta rings a bell, but I didn’t realize it was Nethack or know about Vulture 'til now!

There are so many, it’s pretty awesome.

Tiny list I’ve been enjoying, plus an ancient classic:

1. The Battle for Wesnoth
2. 0 A.D.
3. DOOM the Roguelike
4. Nethack
