What games are you playing?

Eve’s still around? (Honest question).

Yeah, had over 5000 in local for the fight. Roughly 100 titans lost on each side plus hundreds ofdreads and carriers.

COVID couldn’t have come at a better time for CCP.

I can’t decide. Control Complete Edition or Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. I can only get one.

deleted because I’m an ignoramus :wink:

Personally I cannot recommend Horizon Zero Dawn strongly enough, I really enjoyed it. However I haven’t started Control yet so I can’t comment on it.

But Control is 3rd person :upside_down_face:

I liked it, it’s deep and on the slow side.
Haven’t play horizon though…

@linesma
However you can buy 1 and :pirate_flag: other :laughing:
Then :money_with_wings: later if you liked it :slight_smile:

Doesn’t bother me. I enjoy a third person game every once in a while.

Nope…

That looks like the one I will be going with then.

Thank you all for your advice. Horizon Zero Dawn is the one I will be going with.

Could it be that Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk are in the same universe?

Physics seem to match :upside_down_face:

Chrono Trigger! SNES version.
Served with a proper dose of scanlines :heart_eyes:

(Phew! Taking pics of a CRT is quite hard, had to match the shutter time to the tv’s refresh rate)

Also don’t mind the gas masks next to the tv, I collect weird stuff :upside_down_face:

Playing Greedfall and it is amazing. Having played the Witcher 3 everything afterwards hasn’t captivated me in the same way until I tried Greedfall.

If you like good story telling games with a heavy emphasis on trying to stay as neutral as possible (reminds me of Chaotic Neutral) this is the game for you. Combat is fun, guns are a little OP so I went magic, world is absolutely gorgeous!

It runs perfectly on Linux (Ryzen 2600 and 1070 Ti), just make sure you download and use mf-install .

  1. Download and unzip mf-install https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install
  2. Use the following command: WINEPREFIX=“/home/username/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/606880/pfx/” PROTON=“/home/username/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.13/” ./mf-install.sh -proton

Note! Replace “username” with your user’s name and paths to both game’s prefix location in WINEPREFIX and your proton location in PROTON, and don’t forget to add “-proton” at the end.

If you are already running gamemode, you just need to add this launch text to the game properties in Steam:
LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:/usr/$LIB/libgamemodeauto.so %command%

If you are not using gamemode, you can set core usage using the below - it won’t launch otherwise from what I’ve read:
taskset -c 0-15 (core 0-available cores).

Color me green with envy. That is my favorite game from the SNES era.

Game update: I ended up buying both Control Complete Edition and Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition. My brother sent me a Steam gift card that allowed me to get both and still stay within budget.

Right now I am playing through the original Torchlight again. Wanted to play something mindless for a little while.

No need to be jealous… It’s running on quite a hacky contraption :sweat_smile:

I’m using a raspberry pi with a custom made GPIO to RGB scart cable (Standard the pi only does composite analog signals).
That in turn is run through an Otaku scart switch, which is connected to a Scart to BNC adapter which plugs in the back of the monitor.

I’m using a Wii U pro controller that’s connected to an 8bitdo receiver on the pi

Hey, it is working. That is all that counts. All I can say is impressive. The things we do for our gaming habit.

In my case you could probably change that to “The things we do for our scanline addiction” :joy:
I have the game originally on the nintendo DS, and I also have it on my Snes classic mini, but in the end, I’ll always run to my crt whenever possible

Last time I tried it, I was having massive slowdowns when entering big area’s.
Ran it with gamemode, Proton-5.21-GE-1, and TKG Kernel with F-sync enabled…

Maybe I should try again with Proton Experimental to see if the slowdowns are gone now…

I am really digging Control. It reminds me of a cross between the television programs Warehouse 13 and The X-Files. It is not all dark, it does have some humor.

This is typical of government computers. I wonder which version of CPM it is running.

From what I’ve read, do not use Proton GE, but the standard Proton in Steam with MF-Install file. That may be the issue.

for some odd reason it didn’t want to boot using regular proton when I tried it yesterday…
did the MF install thingy both on the standard 5.13 and on proton experimental, but alas…

Did a test with the latest proton TKG though, and that seemed to run just fine

Fortunately it’s free on PS plus so I’ll be getting it that way.

I actually started to play it on my sons Xbox Series X (Game Pass) and was having a blast, but my son wanted to play some games (after I hogged it for about 15 hours straight). I liked it so much, I bought it on Steam during the winter sale as I wanted to give the devs money.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Beautiful game. Very nice Linux port.
