Just finished Doom 1 and Doom 2 for the first time.
Previously played only Doom 2016 and Eternal + DLCs.
Played entirely on Steam Deck. Doom 1 was a really nice experience, except for Episode 4 — mostly disliked it. And Doom 2… that was a flop. 1/3 good levels and 2/3 of “why does this even exist and how high or drunk were the ones making it?”
Brutal Doom, you won’t regret trying this mod
Prototype is a mad game, was thinking of installing the other day but decided to wait a bit
Played Satisfactory for a while, and it was fun until suddenly it wasn’t. The grind to make ever bigger things out of ever bigger numbers of components lost its luster. I’d like to do some path optimization, but it takes so much work to break down and rebuild. I still have it installed and will give it another go; just wish they had a dial to adjust the grind level.
Thoroughly enjoy playing Go (i.e., Japanese name, also: baduk in Korean, weiqi in Chinese).
Two-player strategy board game, played continuously for thousands of years.

For me it’s fun but I guess I just like games based on grind.
I mean the whole point of the game is to optimize grind to progress faster.
And you don’t need to rebuild anything to optimize, for example to use upgraded machines you just click on them with build tool and that’s all. No need to relocate and/or rebuild the base to get new resources and technologies - just build a railway and split resource grind all across the world:
Iron - mini-base to grind
Copper - mini-base to grind
Sulfur - mini-base to grind
and so on
Just connect everything using trains and just place Assembler and etc. to concentrate crafting on your main base.
And about rebuilding again - just build optimized base from start with lots of space to upgrade
Yeah, I’ll definitely try again. By the time I built the space elevator, and saw the components required x 1000, I put down the keyboard and walked away. I’ll search out a build guide to see what I can optimize without having to trial-and-error my way to space greatness.
Phase 2 is the worst in my opinion, you don’t have many machines/upgrades and yet you need thousand to complete it, but after that it gets way easier, specially once you set some blueprints.
Finished Prototype - a really nice game with terribly designed bosses and too many side-quest mini-games. But quite impressive for 2009, played it entirely on the Steam Deck with 0 issues. Funnily enough, on Windows it seems to be quite a trouble to just run it.
Now I’m going for Hi-Fi Rush. I just saw that there’s a pretty redhead Scottish woman in it and that instantly sold it for me.
Like most games these days. In windows 11 in the past my jedi survivor runs terrible. On linux it runs great. I noticed the same on other games, better fps in linux with the same system but different os. I am glad i am using linux, i will never switch back anymore

Freedom 
I started switching to Linux in 2019. In 2020 when I started my undergrad computer engineering program at university I was using it everywhere – for studying, home, and work.
The only reason I have Windows 11 on my second M.2 drive is for when I need to create an ISO for friends and family when they have problems on their Windows machines, using the Windows Media Creation Tool – because creating an ISO with anything else mostly guarantees you’ll have problems with M.2 NVMe drivers, or something else even more obscure.
And because one of my friends constantly asked me to play Fortnite and other crap that either runs on Linux with too much hassle or doesn’t run at all because of abysmal paranoid kernel-level anticheats. But in the end we didn’t play any of it at all and mostly played stuff that I ran on Linux and he on his Windows machine.
The game is extremely boring and uninteresting.
It’s too repetitive, the music is as soulless and sterile-corporate as the humor, design, and everything else in the game.
If that’s some kind of meta-irony, then it was performed poorly.
If I wanted uninteresting BigTech corporate aesthetics, I would have enough of them at my daily job.
If only this game had a soundtrack and sound design as banging and diverse as Brütal Legend, I would forgive its clunky gameplay and millenial writing. But unfortunately, its music sucks as much as the rest of it.
And after finishing it’s even more disappointing, as after the 2/3 of the game the last 1/3 is starts going better. Except for the DLC, no thanks I do not want to do a dozen of the mini games to get the gimmick secret ending which I just watched on YouTube.
Waiting for my next game to download, Pillars of Eternity as I just seen that they have finally added a turn based mode into the game. I stopped playing it the first time shortly into in the first time because of real time pause being the only way to play.
I’m also playing PoE, but actually I play in real time mode.
