Go-On-A-Steam-Train

Ooh I notice nobody has mentioned Wasteland 3 - it totally slipped under my radar, it is a fastastic RPG, with a fun story and good combat! :) It’s what I’d love fallout to be :)

Emesene and pidgin were great! :)

Thinking about it, I would not put it past me to have set it and forgotten 😂 it’s been a while since I played about with the settings!

You convinced me, I’m totally adding this today! :)

I also would throw in sponsorblock to that too - it skips all the “but first, Raid Shadow Legends…” “don’t forget to like share and subscribe” nonsense :)

edit: thank you, I just poked into YouTube Revanced, and found DeArrow was on! This explains why I didn’t like youtube’s content when on my PC, so I’ll 100% be adding this to Firefox! :)

Thank you! This is going to sound daft, but I had forgotten steam allows you to uncheck DLC like that! :) it’s so rare that I’d opt-out (in fact this might be the only time I have needed to!) :) thank you again

Oh no! I’m so cosy on mint, but now I’m eyeing Fedora and it looks snazzy, and maybe cyberpunk is a fun prospect too! :)

How odd! I must admit with cyberpunk, I was reading ProtonDB and had a “that’s one fine game… why doesn’t mine look like that!” Simpsons moment. 😅

Nice! Consider me doubly motivated to give it another go this weekend :)

I am indeed! I tried popping in the skip launcher commands from a few people on ProtonDB, and it seems to be rather grumpy with me 😅 I’ve read it could be the Phantom Liberty DLC being DRM’d, but not sure :)

Aw, I can’t get cyberpunk to run on my mint install - it gets the logos and stops responding.

Some people read about performance, sometimes I’m just motivated knowing someone on the internet did get a game running in the first instance! :)

I will say though, Baldurs Gate 3 works perfectly, as does anything else I throw at it! :)

I had absolutely unplanned that pun, but I’m thrilled it’s there!😅 Thank you!

Yay! Glad you’re enjoying it so far :)

I can also say the past month or two rocking Mint have been a breath of fresh air, everything feels fast and I’ve only had one GOG game not run (think I could with some effort) :)

Even the Unity game engine works, and debugs, it’s lightyears ahead of my previous goes at Mint over the years (and they only “ended” because of needing music software for college and uni!)

Hope it continues to treat you well! Also you may wish to indulge in the greatest Linux feature I know, which is Wobbly Windows - it makes your windows wobbly when dragged, which is very enjoyable for reasons I am not sure of! :)

Thank you for reminding me of this!

It’s wasn’t that long ago that I was in a little lamborghini, and sleeping on bookshelves.

My mind immediately went to the band Phish… I was all excited to find a new corner of the internet about them! :) Never mind :)

Thank you for that… going back and reading again with this was very, very funny

In this case it makes sense to have a short-term quick-and-dirty Butt deployment.

This add-on brings me joy and is related. :)

My 1080 was okay with Linux Mint, no complaints, and performance is the same from what I can tell. :)

I just switched over to Mint from Windows 10 a month ago, and besides from setting up my quirky USB audio for music making, I was astonished as I rarely needed to look anything up. :)

Using DuckDuckGo helped I think, but presently, most of my questions I searched came back with forums with real people talking, which was lovely.

I remember trying this in 2010 and… nope, everything was a project, command lines everywhere, and it was a pig. I was very impressed this time, everything quietly worked. :) Even every steam game I threw at it, even ruddy GTA San Andreas, which never ran for me on Window 10!

The searches/sticking points I looked up were

• what the heck am I doing with partitions. (eventually nuked windows anyway)
• how do I get my specific USB audio card thingy to work.*
• how to mod fallout new vegas** (gave up and reinstalled on a windows pc, too many .exes)
• how to auto-mount a second hard drive for steam so I don’t have to click the disk every time I boot.

*there was actually a human-made guide for my usb audio when I searched on DuckDuckGo, which was made by an utter saint of a person!

** it ran fine, but I was in the middle of a save, so wanted to keep my mod loadout :)

Heck yes! Earthbound! One of those games I felt was made perfectly to my taste :) funny, quirky, slightly uncomfortable… All great. :)

Can’t you even skip one of those goals? What a great game 😁 It really does let you work it out, but not in an annoying puzzley way
