I like boomer shooters and immersive sims, so I picked up Selaco and Fallen Aces. Both are good so far. Selaco has some maze-like levels that can be a bit annoying, but the gunplay is very fun and the level of polish and detail is very high. Fallen Aces is awesome for the amount of ways it gives you to deal with the goons.

Half-Life and Half-Life 2 have plenty of really good mods if you are interested in those, Black Mesa started as just a mod as well.
Some of my favourites for HL2:
- Entropy: Zero Two (on the same level of quality as Black mesa and its free on Steam)
- Nightmare House 2 (now named Nightmare House: The Original mod)
- Half Life 2: MMod
Some of my favourites for HL1:
- Half Life: Field Intensity
- Half Life: Delta Particles
- Half Life: MMod
There are many more that I haven't mentioned / played myself.
My top four on steam are:
- Garry's mod - 2800 hours
- CS:GO (CS2 now) - 2100 hours
- Terraria - 1000 hours
- Team Fortress 2 - 555 hours
The next season was announced in December of 2023 and it’s changing studio to Wit Studio, so hopefully they do a good job of it. I’ve rewatched it and it’s great for being both relaxing and engaging at the same time, planning to read the light novel at some point.
Re:ZERO or Ascendance of a Bookworm (underrated in my opinion).
Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 -> Fedora Workstation -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS
Game was fun and had a lot of potential, it’s a shame it didn’t get popular enough.

I don’t use the Flatpak, but for me the rpc doesn’t seem to work for Steam games, it seems to work for everything else that supports it though.
They’re great on certain desktops, like Fedora’s Atomic Desktops, but you usually have to work around Flatpak specific issues. On NixOS there doesn’t seem to be a declarative way to install them.

Started with Gnome, then i3, Hyprland and now Sway. Gnome not being designed around customisability made me switch to i3. Hyprland has had some stability issues and regressions that annoyed me and so I switched to Sway. Thinking of trying out river at some point.
