New gaming rig in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] SurvivalMariner@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I have Radeon 6900 rx and it games sweet on Linux. I've played games on Windows with it too without issue (dual boot).

Generally, AMD is king on Linux, Nvidia is suffering (had drivers updates break OS installs). Nvidia is only really if you want ray tracing or Cuda, and I've never needed to.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is my distro of choice. Up to date kernel. Rolling distro. Stable.

Someone got on with Skate? I loved THPS but when I tried Skate it was dull and boring. Probably managed 10 mins then never played again.

I tend to use less powerful bows or weaker pals to weaken, call back your pal when most work has been done and use better balls for stronger pals.

Announcing Agama 9 (new openSUSE installer) in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] SurvivalMariner@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Looks good.

I really like OpenSuse, but the setup and configuration wasn't easy or straightforward. Manjaro had a superior way to setup partition for example. If they make this process smooth, it would really help folk experience a great OS that just works and is up to date.

Beware. The Stalker is somewhat more dangerous and camoflages!

Have fun :)

Which GPU or GPU brand would you buy for gaming these days? in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

I use Linux, so not Nvidia. AMD is great. Good power for the money.

But then they couldn't trick consumers into voting for them. There isn't enough rich people to win so they have to trick people into thinking they are working in their interests.

No. It is a conservative government funded by businesses. They represent them. This was a political way of saying "no" while trying to look like they give a shit.

New Cities Skylines 2 update breaks buildings, as Colossal Order says fix could take three weeks in c/pcgaming@lemmy.world

They could maybe hire some testers. If you're removing beach properties, maybe test games that have beach properties. I have no idea how this falls through the gaps.

Maybe I got this wrong, how would you pronounce it?

Stardew Valley 1.6 is here. Patch notes ahoy (stardewvalleywiki.com)
 

A great game, and a massive patch list. Could be good fun for a returning player, or new players.

For those that haven't tried this game, it's very addictive and very fun. I've got 150+ hours on it, and I'm not done yet. Good fun as multiplayer too!

RimWorld (www.gog.com)
 

The game probably needs no introduction, but hey, a story generator sim colony type game.

Bizarre and lots of fun. Whether it's getting attacked by pirates, or angry rats, fighting infections or drug addictions to save your colonists. I feel a little part of me dies every time I lose a colonist. Intense.

I'm 83 hours in, and barely getting started. It's wonderful.

Have you played RimWorld? How long for? Any interesting stories? (the steam reviews are a gold mine for this)

Save 50% on Valheim on Steam (store.steampowered.com)
 

Absolute bargain price if you ask me. Played over 250 hours of Valheim. A great immersive game, and at this price, a bit too good to say no to if you haven't tried it.

Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this game, and the music always makes me smile. The main tune is one of the best game songs I know :).

To oversimplify, it's Theme Hospital for adults. Complex, serious, and some times stressful when you have a collapsed patient. I end up favouriting my collapsed patients as I really need to know they get better and make it out ok.

I have 70+ hours play time from this. Really well made game. Needs more love.

Have you played it? What did you think?

Travellers Rest - Fishing - Update 0.6.4 (store.steampowered.com)
 

Sharing this because it's a game I've played and enjoyed. Multiplayer isn't there and local co-op is buggy, but pretty fun for single player.

Stardewesque, but all about managing your own tavern.

I mean, we've all seen some hype around recently about games in the genre, and I wanted to share this because it's awesome. Been playing it recently, and it definitely scratches that Pokemon itch, while being unique in its own right. Made with a lot of love, and also on Godot. What's not to like?!

Have you played it? What do you think?
