Windows is still the N°1 gaming platform by far.

The thing is, how much until then it becomes an alternative rather than the norm. SteamOS has been progressing a lot but online games anti-cheat is its weakness.

Unfortunately that’s not entirely up to Valve.

Huh. 🙂

@bgrier I posted my first #DungeonCrawlStoneSoup victory picture recently. I play in the bash terminal, so maybe that was the "intriguing old-school" screenshot you saw?

In any case, DGSS is an awesome #roguelike for sure!

Screenshot of a linux terminal. It displays the last turn of a game of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, where Uthi the Conqueror, Minotaur of Trog, escapes the dungeon carrying the Orb of Zot. The whole scene is represented by an ascii characters map, some character information and statistics, and a few of the recently printed lines of the game. Finally, it reads "You have escaped!".

Today's not-so-guilty pleasure - Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

I saw a post here on #Mastodon recently (sorry, can't find it right now) with an intriguing old-school screenshot of a #RogueLike #NetHack or #Hack like game.. And this is that game

It's got a great tutorial that walks you through the basics at a good rate, and it's interesting and a bit challenging. I felt like I was playing the game not just learning the mechanics. It's on all the platforms.

Ooop, BonBon needs my attention...

Captioned photograph of a decent-sized old color CRT television with analog dials, showing a game of Space Invaders being played on an Atari home gaming console. There are at least 10 different game cartridges stacked beside the console. Caption reads "Unless you were there in 1981, you can’t even imagine how choice this setup was."

We are gearing up for the final level in #SeriousSam 4. We got to the boss monster last week, but fell short of taking it down. 4 Guys Co-op will take to the field again! Wish us luck.

#ComputerGaming A lighter topic... 😊 Are you into computer gaming? I started casual gaming in my 30s, and now as a senior I think it helps slow the decline, even though my short term memory is kinda shot, it helps with cognitive abilities and provides an avenue for escapism, and lordy, with the way politics are going, some escapism maybe needed to preserve sanity. That said it appears like what we call AI, although not truly AI is finding its way into computer gaming.

Morning Mastodonians!

4 Guys Co-op had a good session at Serious Sam 4 last night. I kept the challenge level up (Hard difficulty and a 1x Per Player enemy multiplier) but I gave us 10 lives instead of 5. We had a very rough patch in the middle of the first game so we had to try over. But after about an hour of shooting away, we finally beat the 7th level, Morituri Te Salutant. The last battle in the Coliseum was simply insane. Our very last Black Hole(!) gave us the win. #fps #ComputerGaming

Still waiting for B to get back from his travels, so we played an hour of Ark Nova on BGA last night. I surprised myself by coming in a close 2nd in our last game. Usually, I get crushed. #boardgaming Then we had a disappointing session of Serious Sam 4. I expect us to get a little further when we play a level again, but we never made it as far as we did last week. Still so much fun. I grabbed a couple of replay videos. Of course, the funniest parts are still friendly fire. #ComputerGaming #FPS

Morning Mastodonians!

I've had a pretty good week of #ComputerGaming. Tuesdays are #Gloomhaven with C and, after 4 hours, we almost finished a 2 room dungeon. Not sure we'll even win! And then last night, 4 Guys Coop did finish Ch 4 of #SeriousSam 4, Gates of Hell, after 2 tries, even with 10 lives. So far it's fun but it's missing the crazy chaos of the wide-open levels of the earlier classics.
