W/ the PSR issue addressed I've been on a "shakedown cruise" with my new #linux set up. Running #bazzite in #kde on a rescued XPS 9500 (i7 10th gen/1650 TI), added a 32GB RAM upgrade, a 2nd SSD is on the way, and did a battery replacement. Also removed all traces of #microsoft stickers 😂 Though this is not a gaming laptop it runs the 5ish year old games I'm playing just fine. I'll share some more on that in my next entry.

🎮 Ah, the eternal quest of Linux gamers: begging anti-cheat developers to acknowledge their existence. Who knew getting a game to "sort of" work on Linux would become a triumph worthy of a spreadsheet? 😂 Pro tip: just boot up your Xbox, it's a lot less depressing. 💻🎉

Pour sortir des écosystèmes des géants américains, j’ai essayé l’aventure Linux pendant 6 mois, à la place de Windows, sur mon PC de jeu.

Enterprise Linux gaming support continues to evolve, with Proton powering compatibility for over 70% of Steam's top titles. The landscape shows promise but uneven progress, as some major releases still falter, emphasizing the value of collaborative, open efforts for inclusive access. How can the community drive further parity? #LinuxGaming #FOSS #EthicalTech

kinda wanna try out kde fedora but then i’d have to download all my games and stuff again.. or is there an option to use mint’s timeshift backups to restore / move those steam and heroic files to fedora? i assume not, but wanted to be sure. maybe a manual backup would do it? also not sure, which is why i’m asking :3

I am delving in The Bard's Tale Trilogy atm just as the holiday-month is starting. The remaster from a few years ago. But as with most remasters I always have the urge to go back to the originals. So I ended up trying to get this old C64-version to run but unfortunately failed. The one with the best graphical representation of the game imho.

Don't get me wrong, the quality of life improvements of remasters are almost always appreciated (I don't have the time anymore to sketch the dungeon levels in graph paper) but the "new" graphics mostly break my immersion.

Why is the game(play) considered worth preserving but the graphics are not? This is so sad.

Decided to start a #linux journal here. I'm a professional #filmmaker and long time #Mac user from the days of PowerMac G5 when #apple was a little more open and a little more cool. Final Cut to Adobe to Davinci Resolve. I still use a MacMini for mission critical work but I'm slowly integrating linux and #foss solutions into my workflow. Recently rescued a used XPS with descent specs and running #bazzite. Will share more as I explore!

🕶️ The game screen is very small (corresponding to the specifications of the NES, whose display is 256×240 pixels). A bird's-eye view of a Zelda-style game, where Link (the protagonist) is walking along a paved road, approaching a house in the middle of the woods. A mini-map at top left suggests a very large map.

📚️ ZQuest Classic is a libre, multi-platform, mature action-RPG engine, that comes with a clone of the NES version of The Legend of Zelda (1986, Nintendo). It lets you play numerous games (700 quests as of June 2023, mostly Zelda-like) designed by the community, and easily develop them thanks to its comprehensive, intuitive editor, which requires no programming (apart from the optional scripting language for extended functions), and also delivers data sets (traditional/improved). The project has brought together a community that has developed significant content, and its development is sustained.

🕶️ Its UI with a strategy game. The central part is occupied by a map divided into hexagons with pixelart units. The period is medieval, several Mongol units & a trebuchet surround a castle in the center. The units have an icon for easy understanding (mongol, sword, trebuchet, ..), slightly transparent when not selected. The Mongol on horseback on the right of the castle is selected. The castle (named Elephantine) seems to be under siege. On the left of the UI several command buttons (Sleep, Pillage Pasture, Explore, Wait, ..), below the characteristics of the selected unit (Keshik, 2 stars, XP 5/20, ..), in the lower middle a box with what seems to be a report on the selected unit (Keshik vs Elephantine). To the right of the UI, a message area ("The resistance in Sydney has ended!", ..), lower right a mini map. At the top of the interface a hamburger menu, and near it the title "Mongolia". At the top middle several indicators, the period (1520 AD) and on the right an "Overview" button.

📚️ UnCiv is a libre, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player (by exchange of "User ID"), turn-based strategy game (4X) & Empire building, inspired by Civilization V: the game starts in 4000 BC Christ, the player directs a nation or an ethnic group, with the aim of supremacy over the other protagonists, leading his group until 2050 AD. It's a neat game that offers in-game help to get started, solo/multiplayer, map editor and game save / load. Very good!

🕶️ An FPS view of the game (v.1.11.2.2, on my Linux PC) on board a steam train, on the electrified PARIS-BORDEAUX TGV line (sic. During this relatively quick test, I couldn't find a line that was suitable and functional for this type of train). The simulation is excellent, with the engine's limited power preventing it from climbing steep gradients, and the good sound effects also contribute to the overall atmosphere. Excellent!

📚️ OpenBVE is a libre, multi-platform train/metro driving simulator that focuses on the realism of in-cab driving. It accurately simulates the behaviour of wagons, braking systems, friction, air resistance, tilting, etc. In 3D cabs, the driving experience is enhanced by forces that shake the driver's body during acceleration and braking, as well as in curves. It also offers a positional 3D sound system, train exteriors and timetables for the current journey. Realism takes precedence over user-friendliness, and the player will have to study the route and train operating manuals, not just memorise a few keystrokes.

🕶️ A view of its UI with the action display area in the middle where turn-based & grid-based combat also takes place. The player's ship is in orbit around the planet Delta Eri 1 - a habitable water world where the Smaugirian live. At the top and right side of this display area are the game control panels and information areas.

📚️ Open Realm of Stars is a 4X turn-based strategy game, libre and multi-platform, solo (3 levels of AI, building their empire and adapting to the opponent's game), on the theme of space conquest. The player explores the randomly generated galaxy, meets other species (16 races) that he confronts or with whom he negotiates peace and trade alliances with exchange of new technologies. The technological development (6 branches of 10 levels) gives access to better ships (it is also possible to steal them), to confront other races in space as well as on the ground, invading planets for their resources and production.

📚️ MegaMek is a libre, multi-platform, single-player (AI) / multiplayer (online) clone of BattleTech, a science-fiction themed board/strategy game featuring military campaigns with gigantic robots, tanks and infantry. All Total Warfare rules are implemented. Tactical Operations and Strategic Operations rules are constantly under development, and many of these rules and weapons are already implemented. The game supports all unit types and players can create their own units, maps and scenarios. Excellent!

🕶️ An FPS view of an American (WW2) squad near a cannon-equipped armored rail convoy, as they escape from a burning area and come face to face with an Axis opponent - also armed, near his military vehicle, ready to fire.

📚️ Enlisted is a free (freemium) WW2-themed squad-based FPS / MMO in which the player is an infantry platoon leader, tank crewman or airplane pilot, with the other members being AIs who obey him. Dozens of units with different specializations participate simultaneously in battles, offering spectacular density and immersion in battle while maintaining a high contribution from each participant to the team's victory. Infantry, armored vehicles and aircraft fight together, and players can try out several roles in a single game session. The weaponry, soldier uniforms, appearance and capabilities of in-game vehicles are all historically accurate.
