I focus on the playability and addictiveness of the game; you focus on the immersiveness and photo-realism of the experience.

That does not make either of us right or wrong, we’re just weighing different aspects differently.

As someone who grew up when you could physically count the bloody pixels on the screen, this whining about a miserable invisible miniscule artifact makes me palmface very hard.

Why does loving something automatically imply hating something else?

It’s about choice. You can use Cinnamon today and switch to Gnome, KDE, XFCE or whatever desktop you feel like using tomorrow and your apps will still work.

It’s all good software, made available to you for free. Drop the hate.

Over 700 hours in Skyrim. I don’t know how that happened as it’s not my usual game type. I usually go for shooters like Half-life or Serious Sam,b or puzzles like Portal or Talos Principle.

Awesome brain killer.

It seems that you need to read up on Linux and how it is different from closed source systems.

You are getting downvoted by people that were once where you are, but have since forgotten what it is to be a newbie.

The only game with portable nukes.

Graven

I’m really happy that I completed the games and can put them down

Good luck. I’ve played them countless times and they are installed permanently on my drive. 🙂

Graven on Steam.

I’ve been using XFCE for so long that it feels really awkward when I have to use Gnome or KDE.

XFCE is solid, reliable, stable, unobtrusive, lean, responsive.

It is also the reason I’ve not used Wayland yet.

I prefer to buy GOG when possible, Steam second. I even have some duplicated titles across vendors.

Excellent that they don’t engage in Nintendo level community hostility and at least let people who care about old games preserve them.

Stream goes one step further and actively maintains their legacy games playable. That is commitment.

I’m gonna go with Tom’s Root Boot. Or maybe the father of all live distros, Knoppix.

Someone gave me a PowerMac and of course I had to try to run Linux. It was an interesting experience, it would boot to MacOS and then run the Yellow Dog bootloader. Couldn’t get it to boot directly. That little experiment showed me how tightly Apple controlled what would run on Apple machines back then.

Good old Smoothie. Served me well back then. I think it went commercial at some point.

I posted from Boost for Lemmy, but formatted nothing.

52001. Brb.

Both end songs are on my playlist, I love it when the randomize function picks them up. You could say it is a triumph.

I’m still playing this game today. Undoubtedly my favorite game.
