That sounds like an expensive hobby. Have you thought of trying cocaine instead?

A song of ice and fire.

We work hard, and we party hard!

Lucas Pope does truly love black and white games.

The Obra dinn was fantastic though.

I think a lot do, but as I don’t play them and most people complaint about anticheat being the heel in linux gaming…

Maybe, but what I miss from shareware is that I would get a game (e.g. Quake, Duke Nukem) from someone and be able to play without restrictions the first chapter.

In fact, most shareware games had also multiplayer available so those were very common in school’s computer “labs”.

Freemium apps, in my experience, have too many ads and fiendish tactics to my taste (Though I know it’s not all of them).

My two suggestions are:

• On your first week, configure a backup solution (check your distro wiki for details). Because linux is very customizable, reinstalls can be painful.
• Use flatpaks for applications, there are good store applications that simplify the process. (Some apps misbehave as a flatpak, like Steam).

TLDR: If you like massive multiplayer games, those might not work. Most of the rest will if using compatibility settings in steam.

I would say it depends on the game and platform: most games I play in Steam are just install and play, sometimes I just need to activate the compatibility options.

https://protondb.com is a fantastic trove of info for how to play most games. Though it might not cover them all as I was told, that hasn’t been my case.

Lutris, on the other hand is a bit tougher as you said, and sometimes certain games require some time investment to run.

That said, I don’t play massive multiplayer games that might require anticheat and those won’t work on linux AFAIT.

You didn’t drink the verification can though… Now you would have to dance (and sing) the next three ads and start again.

Next stop: find out.

I’ll be feasting on blueberry pie for weeks before watching this movie because probably I’ll hate it after watching it.

I miss shareware.

I don’t remember the context but someone half-joked that police stations in Alabama required higher ceilings…

I misread the headline and thought they would be sending more regular troops. Well this is both parts expected and indeed good news.

“Stop making us look bad, it’s election year…”

How come?

Wasn’t there a car dealer bot that was promising cars for 5 dollars or something alike?

Yep, pigeons can differentiate human face traits (generally speaking).

Though many keepers have told me that raptors tend to distrust them if their clothing is different (shirt, hairstyle, hat, glasses, etc.)

Haven’t heard the same behavior from columbidae.

Because cops are famous for following the rules.

I do have a recommendation for a cozy FPS: The Signal from Tolva.

Basically you’re a robot in an old robot battlefield planet and you’ve got to shoot other robots, sometimes team up with other robots and go around getting upgrades.

The coziness comes from the environment, which has some strong outworldliness vibe and it feels slightly lonely but in a “journey” way. Plus the guns feel good and it’s probably really cheap right now.

The cons is that the game doesn’t feel finished, after a while it gets repetitive and then it just ends.

If I had to describe it, I would say it’s an FPS+walking simulator.

“Generation Zero” would be my second recommendation, which is a mixture of Red Dawn, Swedish 80s and big robots.

Note: I haven’t played them except for the 2nd entry, but the Far Cry series feels like it is a mixture between FPS and holiday island.
