  • As i am currently cursed with a cold myself…

    I HATE COLDS

    i would rather have a broken leg or something, everytime some stupid virus finds my its way into my nose i am a fucking wreck for 4 days, while my wife just shrugs off the same goddamn virus with ease.

    She’s always laughing at me when i have a cold, because it really fucks me up beyond all recognition. she simply cannot understand why a bit of a cold has such a profound effect on men.

    neither can i.





  • I had the same plan as you have, switching when win10 goes EOL. but since Microsoft decided that they would backport stuff like ads in the start menu, i just switched.

    I’m a gamer, so i decided to give nobara a shot. it works really fine, and i have found only one game so far that didn’t work. Lutris and heroic launcher is everything you need, i do have the VM but i haven’t spun it up since i finished the configuration :-) a few hours in and i decided that i won’t need my windows partition anymore.

    If you have a few hours spare time, give it a spin, you’ll be surprised how good gaming has gotten under linux :-)


  • to be fair, most of those “backups” are played once, if they suck they get thrown off instantly and if they are good they stay until the price point in the store doesn’t pain me anymore. so it’s really just a temporally displaced backup, you are right :-)

    ETA: “Doesn’t pain me” depends on the content: i did not shy back from buying for example Baldurs Gate 3 at full price. Indie devs normally get full price and automatically bought DLCs too, but i’m not into throwing my cash after the Bethesdas and EAs of the gaming world.










  • i’ll just add a few i haven’t seen yet:

    • Chained Together - running gauntlets while … chained together
    • Children of Morta - adorable graphics meet solid gameplay and vivid storytelling
    • Core Keeper - top-down Terraria with great pixel art, full release in a week!
    • Cosmoteer: Build your 2d-Spaceship and do what you want! Full workshop support with tons of available mods.
    • (hmm so much stuff starting with c, gotta change my game)
    • Element TD 2 - classic tower defense experience
    • Heavenly Bodies - Adventure game with physics!
    • Kingdom: Two Crowns - the right thing for chilling :-)
    • Necesse: even more Terraria, but with a huge world and settlements to build and manage. Still in EA, and needs polish, but great game even now!
    • Neon Chrome: Cyberpunk twin-stick shooter
    • Operation Tango: Asymmetric Coop, one is a hacker, the other is the agent on the ground
    • Streets of Rogue: “immersive sim”-top down twin stick action roguelite - i cant even describe it well, but it is heaps of fun and chaos can pop up around every corner!
    • Synthetic: twin-stick shooter with tons of guns and a hefty difficulty later on
    • Grim Dawn: ARPG, and one of the best in its class. Dated, but still updated (and gets a new expansion soon-ish!). community is running seasons which add new areas, items and whatnot! i’ve sunk 1500 hours into that one, so i am probably biased when i say give it a whirl.
