I at least have a valid reason for being grumpy. Trying to get sleep was almost impossible with neighbors lighting off fireworks throughout the whole game, and even slightly before it too.

As someone who used NixOS as a daily driver for a few months, I also agree with not recommending NixOS.

In case you haven’t deciphered where the cut off points are:

• Cassette Beasts
• Pseudoregalia
• Return of the Obra Dinn
• Chants of Sennar
• Gloomwood

Here are my recommendations then:

CrossCode is a personal favorite of mine. An action RPG heavily inspired by retro games.

Library of Ruina is a great non-roguelike deckbuilder. Technically it’s a sequel, but it’s not necessary to know anything about Lobotomy Corporation to get the full enjoyment of its story. At most you can just look up LC’s true ending if you aren’t interested in brutally hard management sims.

Tactical Breach Wizards is a really intertesting mix between a turn-based tactical game and a puzzle game.

It actually is now. Both EndeavourOS and CachyOs have installers that set a good baseline to build off of.

Never even heard of it till now, so it probably didn’t work the way they wanted it to.

That argument is stupid for anyone who understands how games utilize DRM and DLC. As long as DRM is not involved, there is literally nothing stopping you from getting the DLC from somewhere else. Things are slightly trickier with DRM, but not impossible.

If I’m remembering correctly, price parity only applies to keys sold off platform, rather than the game itself because they don’t profit from the keys being generated.

Where did you hear that? I use DP to connect to my monitor and I can play sound through it.

WTF did I just read?

It’s two numbers that can multiply together to make 42.

Other than that, it has no meaning.

It took skill to do this before. Hardly anyone with that level of skill and time would do this. Now the dumb idiots have access to that skillset because of AI doing all the work for them.

Computer hardware & accessories, networking equipment, and appliances. Physical media and hatdware specifically for playing it has been on a decline because of the prevalence of streaming.

The radio at my workplace has already started playing Christmas music a week ago. They can’t even wait until after Thanksgiving to play that crap now.

There are solutions. Those developers/publishers would rather have kernel level anticheats than use any of them.

Not all competitive games require kernel level anti-cheat. Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, Valve’s games, and Halo all work under linux. It’s only a problem for people who want to play certain games like LoL, CoD, or Apex.

I played both HK and silksong on arch, and haven’t noticed any glaring problems like that.

Most open source projects are not financially driven. The bigger projects, such as this, usually function like non-profit organizations.

It’s definitely time consuming, especially if you struggle to find the right documentation\tutorials on how to do things.

I also highly recommend arch-based distros for gaming. The AUR is also full of various tools for gaming such as mod managers.
