Good casual shooters
  • My go-tos on my Arch laptop are Doom and Quake, there's tons of sourceports, both focused on singleplayer or multi player for both games and their sequels. You just need to buy the games once so you have the main game files to use with the optimized source ports.

  • What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp?
  • Floorp is made by young Japanese devs. They have uh, very different naming sensibilities...

  • What games have you put the most hours into?
  • My favorite, most played game AND intro to the series was MH 4 Ultimate on the 3DS. I had a total of 1,000 hours just on that game, across two saves (the first one went to 850 hours) and later I moved on to Gen and GenU on the Switch several years later when I found out I could carry over my save file. GenU is literally a game with infinite content and I don't think I'll ever fully finish it, but I'll keep coming back to it every now and then. I only wish they hadn't crippled the moveset of my favorite weapon, the Charge Blade.

    I played World and Iceborne, but only for 200 hours, didn't enjoy it much. I liked base Rise on the Switch a lot, and I'm finally playing Sunbreak now on the PC, and it's instantly become my favorite modern monster hunter game.

    I also plan on eventually playing Portable3rd and Freedom Unite on emulators.

  • What games have you put the most hours into?
  • As much as Monster Hunter is my favorite series of all time, and I have about 1600 hours combined total over several games, it's still not caught up to my total of over 2000 hours in Warframe. Love that game to bits but yeah I think I played it enough.

    Most other games I play, that I played a lot, hover between 100 and 300 hours each.

  • What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?
  • Monster Hunter. The first one I played, MH4U back in the 3DS days, I put 1,000 hours into. That was nearly 10 years ago, and I'm still playing the franchise to this day. Currently finally going through the Sunbreak expansion of Monster Hunter Rise on the PC, and noticing a marked improvement in my mental health over playing other games.

  • Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?
  • I just reinstalled NFSU2 because of the new big expansion mod underground2.net Between this, my brother wanting to play Halo, and the new Linkin Park album coming out this week, I feel like I'm in 2004 again.

  • AI won't replace creativity in game development, says Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick
  • Take-Two CEO? absolutely do not believe anything coming out of his mouth or company. Scum.

  • Max Verstappen's team for "mental health awareness" 23h sim-race uses livery full of memes making fun of F1 drivers
  • It was hilarious! The whole race was done with this kind of mood of everyone having silly fun together to raise money for a mental health charity. Catch any of the vods of the event and you'll see thw good vibes.

  • How Norris can keep the fight alive
  • By going back in time and actually winning the previous races that he and McLaren fumbled hard. It's not going to happen this year.

  • Some guy complained this fishing game only caters to queer players, so the dev added a "straight" title - it costs $9999
  • I've heard some queer friends talking about this game and I had no idea what it was. Now I know, and not only is this hilarious now I want to give it a try. It looks pretty cute.

  • Porsche is such a failure
  • It's a reference to an old ad from Porsche themselves thr last time they were on Endurance racing back in the early 2000's

  • Apex Legends is now rated "Mostly Negative" on Steam
  • The banner ad looks like they're promoting a free week of the game...... Which is already free to play. Are they really that desperate to get attention on it to counter these negative reviews? Lmao. I haven't played in a while but I left a negative review there.

  • Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs?
  • Ace Combat, all of them but especially the PS2 Holy Trinity.

    Shadow of the Colossus.

    NFSU2, Most Wanted and Burnout 3, even if theyre licensed music and not really original.

    Doom midis in general are fun. Touhou games too.

  • Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
  • Played the beta last night and yeah, it got me in the mood for monster hunting again. Time to finally go play Sunbreak since I bought it ages ago, but never played through it again (bought the base game first on the Switch)

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • Yeah I'm waiting for those. Truth be told, the process of modifying my Arch to have XFCE and remove KDE completely without reinstalling was... A trip. At least for the foreseeable future, I want to leave it as is, since it's working and it looks very nice to me.

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • Used Mint with Cinnamon for a long time, but always wanted to try KDE after distrohopping a bit. Had it on when I switched to Arch, but didn't like how slow it felt on my old laptop so I tried LXQt and then XFCE. I wanted a modern lightweight environment with Wayland support, but I'll have to wait for it to be implemented. In the meantime, I riced my XFCE just how I like it, and I really like how complete and responsive it is.

  • Homeworld 3 creators pull Denuvo DRM from controversial space strategy game
  • Good move, too bad it's tied to an incredibly bad game that ruins the franchise. Thanks a fucking lot Randy you sleazeball. Never trust Gearbox with anything.

    Absolute noob needs advice

    So, since very recently Nintendo decided to be a fuck and kill all emulator projects for the Switch, I finally decided to grab them and learn how to use them. I'm very much not new to emulation in general and where to find games, so I'm mostly good with that. Only thing is that I couldn't get the new Zelda game to run without stutters, but I guess that's the shaders compiling in real time. Unicorn Overlord plays absolutely flawlessly.

    Anyway, I would like to go after more games, but all of the different file formats confuse me. Specifically, the NSZ format. None of my emulators are able of loading that, my other games are in NSP format and load just fine.

    Okay, also. I own a 2019 model Switch Lite and would like to know how would I go about unlocking it. I guess I would need to install a modchip on it?

    Arch user trying out lightweight desktop environments

    Hey hey people. Relatively new Arch user here, but not new to Linux in general. I've been using Arch with KDE Plasma on this HP laptop from 2013, and I've been enjoying it a lot after spending a long time on Mint/Cinnamon.

    But, I've noted that KDE is a bit slow on this machine, and is probably a bit too much. Earlier today, I decided to try out something lighter, and installed LXQt on it as a second DE. The experience was okay, with much improved responsiveness, a nice customizable retro look, and overall simpleness that still did the job mostly. But I also ran into a few issues that probably had to do with having two different DEs on the same machine and user. One thing in particular ended up annoying me so much I went back to KDE: The Discover app would just refuse to play nice with setting a dark theme on the rest of the environment, even when I tried setting it up with qt6ct.

    So now I'm considering going to XFCE instead, as I probably should have done from the beginning. I just wish it had Wayland support already (I know it's being worked on). Do you have any suggestions or tips for me in regards to this? I'm sure a lot of people will recommend their favorite tiling WM which I'm not sure I want to get into.

    Also, other than that, upon returning to KDE, I found that my Discover would crash when trying to update Flatpaks (the only thing I install through it) and started thinking this experiment somehow broke it.... but it's Flatpak itself that seems to have an issue today. Might have to do with the latest curl update? Dunno if I should make a separate thread for that. https://discuss.kde.org/t/kde-discover-broken-with-latest-curl-update/21475
